Hi All,
In site → Sales & Procurements → Message Defaults tab, there is an option called “Execute Order Change Online” tick to select.
Can someone provide the detailed explanation on this field (more context than IFS Help) including the impact for intersite flow when it is enabled?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
If the Execute Order Change Online check box is selected, it indicates that the incoming change request for customer orders and incoming purchase order confirmations, sent from any other site, will be received and processed online on this site.
The benefit of this is that the supply chain will be more synchronized all the time and you will get validations instantly about any errors when changing and sending order changes and confirmations from other sites.
The online processing will only continue as far as the other message defaults parameters allow. If you have manual approval of incoming changes, the online processing stops when an incoming message to approve is created.
If you have automatic approval, then the online processing will validate and update the internal order. If that internal order is pegged and you have automatic replication and sending to next site, the online processing proceeds with this and so on
Hope you understand the functionality behind the Execute Order Change Online.
Best Regards,

Hi,
As Nikila writes the main purpose with this check box is to get more instant feedback in the supply chain. If you change the demand site customer order the changes on all related objects happens online (if you have automatic approval etc) and if there are any problem you will get an error upfront rather than later upstreams. For example if you have a customer order with supply code Internal Purchase Direct and you reduce the demand site order, you will get an error if you have already picked the supply site order. Without this check box you would rather get this error when approving the Incoming Customer Order on the supply site.
Best Regards
