Order simulation for test purpose
...
The order simulation functionality is built into the order handling and processing.
Simulation characteristic
An order is included in the order simulation on the basis of a test characteristic in the order. The attribute identifier is:
| Info | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
$CB*TST The attribute is 7 positions long. The maximum length of command reference fields supported is 10 positions. The remaining 3 positions are reserved for additional command instructions. |
The customer can specify this attribute in one of the two order reference fields:
- BuyerReference
- OwnerReference
The customer can choose which field is used for the characteristic. The other field remains available for the customer's reference. A customer who wants to use both order reference fields in production for his own references must, in order to apply the order simulation, choose which of the two fields is “sacrificed” for the characteristic.

The customer can indicate at the Orderline how many copies are reported missing.

This is optional and comes with the shortage attribute:
$MANCO;n
The customer can specify this attribute in one of the two order reference fields at Orderline level:
- BuyerReference
- OwnerReference
Where n stands for the number of ShippingUnitID's (2 to 99). For instance:
- $MANCO;1 => Request for 1 copy shortage with this order line
- $MANCO;5 => Request for 5 copy shortage with this order line
