MANAGE SHIPPING TRANSACTIONS

Use this screen to ship sales order items after recording issue transactions for sales order inventory lines and in-transit line items. You can also record shipping transactions for drop-shipment (DRP) line items.

You must enter one shipping transaction for each ship-to address code on the issue. You can include multiple issue transactions for each shipment. You can enter all relevant shipping data, including freight charges, bill of lading, shipment number, weight, and volume. You must ship items to make them available for invoice creation.

For inventory (INV) and in-transit (INT) component issues, if the absolute value of the sum of issued quantities (not yet invoiced, for all components) is greater than or equal to the component line order quantity, the SO line is ready for invoicing. For drop-shipment (DRP) components, this is determined upon issue.

You cannot delete a shipping transaction if an invoice already exists for the shipment, or if any of the associated issue transactions contain component correction lines posted with the Post Component COGS Corrections option on the Post Sales Order Journal screen.

Customer information is available on the Maintain Customer screen.

This screen contains four tabs:

Location

Packing Slip No

If you select the System option in the Packing Slip group box on the Configure Sales Order Entry Settings screen, leave this field blank. Costpoint assigns the next packing slip number.

If you select the System option and manually assign a packing slip number, this does not update Last System Packing Slip Number on the Configure Sales Order Entry Settings screen.

If you select the Manual option, you can enter a packing slip number of up to 15 alphanumeric characters. You cannot enter spaces in the packing slip number.

If you select the Packing Slip and Invoice Number Combined check box on the Configure Sales Order Entry Settings screen, Cost point assigns the packing slip number you enter here, or number auto-assigned by the system, as the invoice number. This enforces a one-to-one relationship between shipping transactions and their invoices.
