Drop Ship or Stock Resale

Distinguish between Drop Ship or Stock Resale.

This flag indicates whether the distributor/ reseller is able to differentiate a stock sell-through from a drop ship sell-through. If this flag is set for a distributor, system will increase the available quantity in a DRM lot even in the case of dropship.

Special Buy or Stock Resale.

Distinguish between Special Buy or Stock Resale

If this flag is set, it implies that for the distributor/ reseller, DRM system is able to differentiate between a stock resale and a special buy resale.

Sort Order of Lots

If the Distinguish between Special Buy or Stock Resale flag is not switched on, system can consume from both special buy and normal lots for the resale sell through reported by the distributor. You can direct the system to follow a particular sequence while consuming quantity from DRM lots. For example, if you have specified N, B, BB as the sort order, then system first finds out if there are quantity available in normal lots that can be used for consumption. If not, it will look for special buy lots, and if there is still a shortfall, system will look for blanket special buy lots.

End Customer Returns Without Reference to Resale Invoice -- Reference Lot

When you process an end customer return without reference, system creates a new DRM lot. Information on the new DRM lot is derived from an existing lot, called Reference Lot . System allows you to define the following parameters that are used by the system to zero in on the reference lot.

Lot Type

System searches for the reference lot based on the lot type selected.The types of lot types can be latest and oldest. That is, whether the latest or the oldest DRM lot with matching logical key is to be used as reference lot.

Sort Order of Lots

If Distinguish between Special Buy Returns and Stock Returns flag is set, it implies that this distributor/ reseller sends in return information dsitinguishing between returns from special buy and normal returns.

In this case, the system will first determine if the return is a special buy or normal return. In a standard system, DRM finds out this based on the presence of an active DRM condition type. After the system determines this, for a normal return system will only consider normal lots with matching logical key as a reference, and for a special buy return system will consider only the special buy lots with matching logical key as reference. If no such lots are found, system will error out.

If the Distinguish between Special Buy returns or Stock Returns flag is not switched on, system will search for reference lot in the order specified. For example, if you have specified N, B, BB as the sort order, then the system first finds out if there is a normal lot that can be used as a reference, if not it will look for special buy lots and if there is still no success system will look for blanket special buy lots.

Lot Price

Based on this setting, system will assign the price protectable price to the
