Advanced pricing

["Fred Mitchell" <fred@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We are considering implememting Advance Pricing in AO but have not ben able
to speak to anyine at JBA who knows very much about it.  Does anyone on the
list use advanced pricing or know what likely effect there will be on the
order entry process in terms of performance.  Is there anything else to
consider when implementing advanced pricing?

The business has about 20 people taking phone orders all day long with up to
1000 orders a day being processed.

> Period in A/R is correct (PPER15/SLP15)
> Period in OE Invoice file is blank (PERN65/OEP65)
> Period in AFI is blank (PRDN45/FIP45)
>
> Second scenario is with manual invoices and credits (12 - 15 on OEP menu):
> Period has same incorrect value in PERN65, PPER15 & PRDN45.
