Picture: Create Orders for Demanded Articles form
The form contains articles to order. The proposal to order is the result of processing information from the articles coverage. The script always loads the current coverage of articles according to the settings of "CoverUseDefaultConfig" and "CoverConfig" parameters. If the user wish to ignore some of the specific records (e.g. the Book of documents, minimum quantity), the edited coverage must be loaded.
Each item must be marked with an icon 
before ordering and must have an assigned supplier. The priorities to ascertain a supplier for the articles are as follows:
- The default supplier set in the initial form of the script and simultaneously activated the option Prefer Default Supplier to Optimal Supplier;
- Page 4 of Article card - Article / Stock Data (only the stock information is take into account, not the information about period);
- Page 1 of Article card - field Optimal Supplier;
- Default supplier entered in the initial form of the script.
If there is no supplier loaded and there are existing supplier price lists for the articles, the supplier from a suitable supplier price list will be loaded. The supplier to the article item may be changed in the form at any time; for further details, see bellow.
More articles to order may be added using the Insert key. The requests for articles and information about the eventual rounding is displayed in the bottom Coverage window.

The required codes will be marked with an asterisk in the upper window of the form.
The items whose planned delivery date is later than the reservation date from the Reserving Card (1st page of Reserving Card, the Reserv. Date From field) are marked with an icon of delay 
. If the "DaysBeforeUse" parameter is set, it will appear also when the planned delivery date is not lower in the entered number of days than the date of the request (this means that the articles will not be delivered in a sufficient advance before it is required).

The DC (Supplier Price) column with an icon 
indicates an item of article that has a supplier price list defined. During the loading of supplier price lists after running the script, only the price lists of an optimal or default supplier are browsed according to the settings of the "LoadAllPriceLists" parameter: either by default those whose currency is identical to the supplier currency, or all of them regardless of the currency. Further details may be found at the parameter in the table. If there is no supplier defined (neither optimal nor default), the last suitable record from the supplier price list will be loaded. To edit a supplier price list, press the Change Suppl. Price List button. The form displays the items of individual supplier prices and also fields for entering new requested quantity. At each item of the supplier price list, the user can see the quantity which is due to rounding actually ordered in the New quantity/UM column.

By the Change Supplier button you can set a supplier from the Suppliers/Customers book to the items. When changing the supplier, a particular quantity for ordering is set (regardless the origin proposed value). Change of the supplier or of the supplier price list will be always executed for records that are indicated by asterisks. In case that you want to change or set the supplier of a current indicated item, use the Supplier editable column. You can open the Change mode by pressing Enter key and open the Suppliers/Customers book.
Important: When ordering according to Contract Codes, the supplier or supplier price list is always changed for the whole combination of Supplier/Articles/Contract Codes.
The CJ (Integer Unit) column with the icon 
indicates an item with an integer storage unit. The required quantity is rounded on the whole numbers up in this case.
You can edit the values in all columns that are filled with grey top right corner of the header (e.g. the Supplier, to Order, etc.). Editing the unit price in the Price/UM/M column is conditioned by the "AllowEditPrice" parameter.
For displaying the defined minimum or maximum on the Article cards it is necessary to use the "CF_MinLevelAU/CF_MaxLevelAU" fields that display quantity that is valid for an appropriate warehouse and status is always recalculated for a current selected stock units.
The records in the table can be sorted according to any column. To return to the original sort performed by the Default sorting button.
The Requirements column expresses the total requirement for Articles, it means the reserved quantity and the requirements on minimum/maximum.
If you check the Minimal quantity and Maximal quantity fields on the 4th page of an Article card, another formulas will be used for proposing the quantity for ordering:
- The Article has neither Maximum nor Minimum - the required quantity on the Reserving Cards is decreased about ordered quantity and about the quantity that is already available on the warehouse (Res. - Ord. - Disp.).
- The Article has Minimum (the quantity cannot equal 0) - the required quantity on Reserving Cards is decreased about ordered quantity and disposal plus minimal quantity (Res. - Ord. - Disp. + Min). From this setting the Article is ordered also when there are not reservations on that (from the reason of necessity to cover the requirement on a minimal quantity on the warehouse).
- The Article has Maximum or Minimum and Maximum - maximum that is defined on the Article card can be viewed from two perspectives: as a value that cannot be exceeded, or as an optimal quantity on the warehouse that cannot be exceeded. This is how the field is used in practice in most cases. This difference in view on this field is the reason for using different formulas for calculating quantity for ordering. Set the option of the access by the "AllowExceedMax" parameter (set on "Yes" by default) - the difference is in calculating requirements into the ordered quantity that leads to exceeding the maximum quantity in the warehouse.
- The "AllowExceedMax" = "Yes" parameter - it is ordered only if the Disposal - Requirements + Ordered < Minimum. After that it is ordered by the Max. - Disp. formula. - Ord. + Res.
- The "AllowExceedMax" = "No" parameter - it is ordered only if the Disposal - Requirements + Ordered < Minimum. After that it is ordered by the Max. - Disp. formula. - Ord.
If the minimal or maximal quantity is defined for individual warehouses (4th page of the Article card, bottom window), the script orders according to values set for the given warehouse and period (month/s). Current date is decisive during the calculation of minimum/maximum. If the minimum and maximum is not set for individual warehouses, then the quantity is ordered for Article card (according to the Minimum quantity and Maximum quantity fields).
Designed quantity consequent from the requirements is rounded according to these data in the case that it is ordered at a supplier about which you keep a record in the supplier price list. And at the first time pursuant to the Minimum purchase quantity field and followed pursuant to the Purchase in sets of field (it is always rounded upward).
The script enables to notify a user on free position on other contract codes in the case of ordering according to the Contract Codes. For activation of the function it is needed to set the parameters: "CoverOrder" = "Yes", "UseFreeCodes" = "Yes", "FreeCodes" = to fill contract codes of which the disposal will be considered as free disposal on a warehouse. If the free position exists for an article, the article is displayed in the form show place , has in column “with” icon 
and suggested quantity to ordering is zero. The free disposal can be displayed by the "CF_FreeDisp_MJ" column. However, the transfers between contract codes are not solved by the script.
Another option is to display a column that will notify the user of the ambiguity of supplier for the item (different suppliers are forced in the sales items). In this case, the column will show the icon 
It is the "CD" column (more suppliers) with the "BMP_MoreSupp" program name. The script only signals the existence of more possible suppliers. In case that the user did not resolve the ordering the item, the coverage of the item will be executed from an existing disposal standardly and the Order will be created on the optimal supplier.
The script orders according to the specific loaded coverage (see the Configuration of Coverage in the Articles book). Which coverage will be loaded is set by the "CoverUseDefaultConfig" and "CoverConfig" parameters.
If you set the "NextOrderDate" parameter on "Yes", you can change the principle of loading records for coverage according to the date that has been set on the initial form. If you activate the parameter, the defined date is the date of the next ordering. (This is indicated by checking the checkbox at the additional text - Date of next ordering on the form. In this case, not only the records to the defined date are loaded, but also those after the date; however,because of delivery time, they could not be covered when next ordering, are loaded from coverage. So, in general, it is determined for each article according to the loaded supplier price list, which delivery time has and this delivery time is added to the defined date for this Article. For ensuring the delivery time of Articles, a suitable supplier price list is searched according to the rules: it is searched the price list for an optimal or a default supplier with the zero quantity, if the optimal or the default supplier is not set, then another with the zero quantity and further with regard on the "LoadAllPriceLists" parameter. If the supplier is not set and more price lists with the zero quantity and with a various delivery date exist, then the price list with the shortest delivery time will be loaded.
You can save the masks of columns in the form standardly in the menu of Display - Masks of columns form.
By the Coverage button in the lower part of the form, you can display the Coverage standard function; by the Document button, you can switch to a current document according to the type of the record on that the light indicator is positioned in the Coverage window (a document, 4th page of Article card, book of Articles).
