| # Sequence numbers in Sales Control (SLS) Sequence numbers are used if more than one delivery takes place on an order line. More than one delivery can occur, for example, with back orders. As a result, sequence numbers are used as follows in Sales Control: When an order line is generated in the Sales Order - Lines (tdsls4100m900) session, the sales order line's sequence number is zero. You can fill in all fields. When the relevant order line is split, or a back order is generated for the order line, the Line Type field in the Sales Order Lines (tdsls4101m000) session displays Total Line, and in case of a back order, the Back Order Quantity check box is selected in the Sales Order Line - Deliveries (tdsls4101m900) session. The order line's sequence number remains zero. The linked delivery lines of line type Delivery Line or Back Order in the Sales Order Delivery Lines (tdsls4101m100) session, have a sequence number greater than zero. Note In the Sales Order Line - Deliveries (tdsls4101m900) session, you can specify the sequence number before the order is released. However, this specification can also be performed as a result of the actual deliveries. Example Adding an order line:
Sequence number | Order quantity | Planned delivery date
0 | 100 | 14/12
Splitting of the order line:
Sequence number | Order quantity | Planned delivery date
0 | 100 | 14/12
1 | 80 | 14/12
2 | 20 | 21/12
Assume that you must modify the order quantity. The sum of the order quantities can be lower than the total order quantity. If you save the order line, the total order quantity is updated. After deliveries are executed:
Sequence number | Order quantity | Planned delivery date | Delivered quantity | Back order quantity
1 | 80 | 14/12 | 70 | 10
2 | 20 | 21/12 | 20 | 0
3 | 10 | 28/12 | 10 | 0
Sequence number 3 is of the Back Order line type. Note Deliveries can be displayed in the Sales Order Lines Monitor (tdsls4510m000) session and the Sales Order Actual Delivery Lines / Sales Order Invoice Line (tdsls4106m000).
