Supply Chain Maintenance Distributor Stores

/wiki/spaces/DCKBA/pages/9568542	Customer	Yes
Deployment	Deploy Integration to Production	Decision Logic Development	Yes
Deployment	Disable Allowing Invoices from Manual Receive: We recommend un-checking the box to allow invoices from Manual Receive. This is to prevent stores from creating an invoice during the manual receive process once the integration is live. The reason for doing this is that when the integration is live, all invoices and credits should be importing into your Decision Logic and there should be no need to create a manual invoice. This includes all invoices and credits that are ordered, even those orders NOT placed from Decision Logic. Stores should receive the Order & Invoices by following the How do I receive electronically placed orders with ‘Exceptions’ & what does that mean? process If there is a need to allow stores to create an invoice in Decision Logic check the box "allow invoices from manual receive" on the Distributor tab.	Determine by Customer	No
Pre-Roll Out Testing and Validation	Test an Order for each Location using the integration Validate Invoice # and amount for any invoices that have imported to Invoice History Validate any E-credits invoice # and amounts Validate PPC Export invoice detail	Customer	Once Decision Logic has confirmed their test order was successful, they will notify you can begin Ordering at all locations. It is a recommended best practice that you coordinate a test order for each location with your Distributor to ensure all customer ids are accepted.
