Manage General Shipments
Use the Manage General Shipments screen to create, maintain, and store shipment records for materials that are not tied to a sales order. This application records shipment information in Costpoint tables for tracking and documentation purposes, but it does not create inventory, sales order, or financial transactions. Most shipment details are entered manually, but the application can also populate select fields from existing Costpoint data when applicable.
The application can print three (3) forms of shipment documentation:
General -- Prints basic shipment information.
DD250 -- Prints the U.S. Department of Defense Material Inspection and Receiving Report.
DD1149 -- Prints the Department of Defense Requisition and Invoice/Shipping Document.
This screen has the following tabs:
General Shipper - Use this tab to enter basic shipment information.
DD250 Form - Use this tab to enter information required for the DD250 form, Material Inspection and Receiving Report. The information entered in these fields prints on the DD250 form and is used to identify contract, invoice, shipping, receiving, and payment details associated with the shipment.
DD1149 Form - Use this tab to enter the Department of Defense Requisition and Invoice/Shipping Document, which is primarily used to transfer, ship, or requisition government property, including Government-Furnished Property (GFP), between organizations or contractors. The information entered in these fields prints on the DD1149 form.
Container Info - Use this tab to enter container and shipment packaging information. The information can be used to identify shipping containers, track consolidated shipments, and provide shipping volume and weight details.
