Once an order has been picked, posted and recorded as shipped completely, it is eligible to be closed in the NCAS. In order for an order to close, the shipped quantities must equal the allocated quantities.

Orders can be closed manually via the Usage Order Close (UOC) screen.

There are certain conditions under which you should have the requester close the order. Refer to the Internal Replenishment section of this course for a list of these conditions.

Like closed pick lists, closed orders cannot remain in the NCAS indefinitely. Therefore, the system is set up to purge, or permanently remove, closed usage orders and internal replenishment orders after a defined period of time. This period of time is called the purge limit. Once an order has been closed for the number of days defined by the purge limit, it is automatically purged from the NCAS during production.

To view information about usage orders and internal replenishment transactions that have already been purged from the system, refer to the Monthly Transaction Register (CRVTRW) report. The two most current Monthly Transaction Register (CRVTRW) reports are available in RMDS. The NCAS is also capable of generating an annual report detailing the Monthly Transaction Register (CRVTRW) report data for the entire year. Contact the OSC Client Support if you wish to access the annual report.

The Monthly Transaction Register report is located in RMDS in the report group IN 275-1. The report ID is CRVTRW. For more information on accessing RMDS reports, refer to Viewing and Printing RMDS Reports Step-by-Step.
