CODE DEFINITION

020 STATUS(o)
or Status
Financial encumbering/disencumbering status of record. Encumbering and disencumbering can take place only if the order has a status other than '1', '2', 'a', 'f', or 'z', a valid fund, and an amount in the E PRICE field.
STATUS(o): BASIC RULES
CODERULE
o or cThe system encumbers an amount equal to the E PRICE multiplied by the number of copies ordered and disencumbers the amount of the E PRICE for each copy as payment is made. STATUS will change to 'a' or 'd' when full payment is made for all copies. If an order record's STATUS is changed from '1' or '2' to 'o' or 'c', the system will ask if you want to print a purchase order.
a, d or zAll disencumbering has been done.
q or eSome disencumbering has taken place, due to partial payment, which will be taken into consideration when disencumbering further payments.
1No encumbering takes place since no firm decision to order has been made. An order with STATUS'1' is not considered a real order by the system, so no further ordering activity is allowed, i.e., no payments can be made, no Purchase Order can be printed, no statistics in vendor recalculation. You cannot change the status on a saved record to '1' from any other status but '2'.
2No encumbering, since approval plan item was rejected. No further ordering activity is allowed (i.e., no payments and no statistics in vendor recalculation) because an order with STATUS'2' is not considered a payable order by the system, which sets the status during the accept item(s) or reject item(s) phase of invoice processing. Although you can set the STATUS to '2' manually, Innovative strongly advises against this because the system will not recognize the item as rejected and will continue with the payment despite the change to the STATUS field.
fNo encumbering and no disencumbering, but payments can be made. Often used for active serials. Records with status 'f' are not claimable and are not retrieved through Claim/Cancel. To cancel, use the Cancel by Vendor menu option.
gDoes not encumber when the order is created, but disencumbers amount equal to the paid amount (including the order's share of the shipping charges), regardless of E PRICE and how many payments have already been made. (For serial renewals.)
lowercase alphabetic or numeric Codes are system defined and supplied; cannot be changed or deleted by user. N/A
CODE DEFINITION

2 Approval rejection (not encumbered)
c Serial on order (encumbered new serial)
d Serial paid (fully paid and disencumbered serial)

f Serial no encumbering (but can make payments - for continuation orders)
g Serial encumbered (re-encumber fund for renewal)
021 TLOC
or Transit Location

- no value (default)
c "CAT.DEPT."
b "BINDERY"

022 VENDOR
or Vendor
Library defined field for the vendor who handles the order. Determines the vendor that prints on the purchase order (unless the order record's VEN ADDR variable-length field has a value).

In a checkin record, this field identifies the vendor who supplies the serial and determines the mailing address that prints on serial issue claim forms.

The code in this field links to the vendor record's VENCODE variable-length field.

If a vendor record does not exist, you can enter:
  • the code "NONE" in this field
  • the vendor and its address in the order record's variable-length field VEN ADDR
