Circulation Indents
Indents are the approved, effective-dated Agent/Product supply schedules that feed Circulation Print Orders.
What an Indent controls
An Indent is the standing Agent/Product supply instruction. Paid and Free lines define the quantity applicable over date ranges.
Only Approved Indents feed Print Order generation.
Create and General fields
Select Agent and Product. Indent Number is generated on first save.
Edition Center is derived from the Agent and cannot be maintained independently.
Agent and Product source lookups provide Open to inspect their setup records.
Paid and Free schedule lines
Paid and Free are maintained on separate tabs.
Each row has Start Date, optional End Date and a whole Quantity greater than or equal to zero.
Blank End Date means ongoing. Ranges cannot overlap within the same Pay Type.
Effective quantity
A line is applicable when the Print Order date is on/after Start Date and on/before End Date, with blank End Date treated as ongoing.
The latest applicable Start Date is used per Pay Type. Quantity zero contributes no Print Order copies.
Save and Apply
Save persists changes and returns to the Indents list.
Apply persists changes and keeps the Indent open. On a New record, Apply creates the Draft, generates its number and opens the saved route.
When split labels activate
Two or more effective allocation rows activate split-label logic. Zero or one row preserves the standard one-label Agent/Mandal behavior.
At label generation time, active allocated copies must total the Print Order copies. A mismatch stops label generation without changing the Approved Print Order.
Submit for Approval
Submit for Approval is currently disabled because the operating screen has Indent approvals disabled.
The current configured lifecycle is Draft -> Confirm -> Approved.
Approved Indent maintenance
Approved Indents can receive legitimate future schedule maintenance.
AkshaERP blocks line changes whose affected date range includes an already Approved Print Order Summary for the Product and Edition Center.
Delete
List Delete is limited to an unused Draft Indent.
Approved/non-Draft Indents and downstream-used Indents are preserved as operational history.
Multi-select Delete checks each selected record independently and can report partial success.

Frequently asked questions
Why is Confirm disabled on a New Indent?
Save or Apply first so AkshaERP creates the Draft and generates its Indent Number.
Can Paid and Free be effective on the same date?
Yes. They are separate Pay Type schedules.
Can Quantity be zero?
Yes. Zero means no copies for that Pay Type in that range.
Why can’t I edit Edition Center?
Indent Edition Center follows the selected Agent.
Why was an Approved Indent change blocked?
Its affected range includes a date protected by an Approved Print Order Summary.
Does Label Delivery Allocation change Print Order quantity?
No. It changes only the label split.
Why did Dispatch Label generation stop?
When split allocation is active, allocated copies must equal the Print Order copies.
Why is Submit for Approval disabled?
Indent approvals are currently disabled; the configured operating path uses Confirm.
