Feature - Mass Fill BO by Batch Trial Fill with System Date + or - Number of Days Option

Release Date: 2/1/2021
Version: 8.5 & Up

This enhancement applies to COP -> Processing -> Fill Backorders -> Mass -> By Batch -> Mass -> Process -> Trial Fill, the system prompt for "2. Cut-off Date."  In the past, it supports either a specific date, or "All" if the user presses Enter on that field. In this enhancement, the user can press the F1 key at the field "2. Cut-off Date" field, which means to the user "System Date."  In addition, the system will prompt the user to enter the number of days to adjust. See sample screen below:


  • Zero: The user can enter value zero, which means to use the system date.
  • Positive: The user can enter a positive value. That means to use the system date + ??? days (in the future). For example, entering a value of +7 instructs the system to make the cut-off date one week later.
  • Negative: The user can enter a negative value. That means to use the system date - ??? days (in the past).  For example, entering a value of -365 instructs the system to make the cut-off date 1 year ago.
The primary purpose of this enhancement is to allow users to run Mass Fill BO Trial Fill through deferred processing.  The following is a sample of the report legend:

  • Cut-off Date: 99/99/99 - The user enters a specific cut-off date.
  • Cut-off Date: 99/99/99 (System Date) - The user chooses F1=System Date and uses 0 for adjustment.
  • Cut-off Date: 99/99/99 (System Date) + 999 Day(s) - The user chooses F=System Date and uses +999 days for adjustment.  (Same principle for minus example.)
  • For All Dates - The user presses Enter for "All."
Modified Programs: CPFBTRIP, CPFBTRIS
