Defining Standing Order Product Components

Components added to Standing Order products work differently than Individual product components.

 

INV components can be charged shipping, even though the component order line does not have a price. If components are to be charged shipping fees, the shipping fees are added to the order line that has the product that contains the components. Therefore, if that product is flagged as Eligible for Free Shipping, and if the order qualifies for free shipping, those shipping fees will be waived (even if the component’s Waive Shipping checkbox is not checked).

Component shipping will be waived if the container product is eligible for free shipping, even if the Waive Shipping checkbox is unchecked. If the “container” product is not eligible for free shipping, then shipping charges will be charged if the components are defined to have shipping fees. It is the “container” product that controls whether free shipping applies: if the container product is eligible for free shipping, and if the order qualifies for free shipping; the container product order line and the component product order lines will be updated with the free-shipping rule ID. If the container product is not eligible for free shipping, then shipping will be charged for the components, even if the component INV products are eligible for free shipping.

As of 7.6.0, standing order product components do NOT have to be INV products. Additionally, components of standing order product components will successfully be added to orders. For example, if an INV product with a DCD component is added as a component of a standing order product, the DCD component will be added as a subline of the INV product subline in the standing order product master line.

If this field is set to "Unavailable", the INV900 process will NOT "release" this component and the Standing Order Ship Date will remain null.

 

If this field is set to "Available" and the Standing Order Ship Date is null, this component will NOT be pulled into new orders for the standing order product. When the INV900 process is run for this standing order product, the Standing Order Ship Date will be populated for this component.

 

If this field is set to "Available" and the Standing Order Ship Date is NOT null, users will be prompted to add this component to new orders.

Standing Order Ship Date

Read-only. This field is only displayed for Standing Order products. The date the standing order product is "released" (i.e., the date the standing order product becomes available). This field is populated by the INV900 process if the "Set Ship Date" parameter is set to "Yes".

This field is NOT related to the date that the line was actually shipped.
