Packing List Lines Sub-Tab
This section includes the fields and descriptions for the Packing List Lines sub-tab.
Field | Description |
---|---|
Line No. | This field shows the number of the line on the order to which the current packing line corresponds. The line number is printed on the packing list. |
Stock Location | This field shows the location at which the item should be packed and from which it should be shipped. The item lines in the printed packing list are sorted by location, and the same applies here. This makes it easier for warehouse employees to compare the packing list to the information in this window. The value is retrieved from the sales order line on which the packing line is based, but you can specify another location here if the items are shipped from another location. |
Item No. | This is the number of the item to be delivered. The number is retrieved from the corresponding line on the sales order. It cannot be changed here.
If you have Maconomy Bill of Materials, and the item is a BOM without inventory control, you must confirm the BOM parts (with inventory control) in the window Packing List Lines. If you activate this line, the BOM parts will be shown in the window Packing List Lines. |
Description | This is the item text. The text is retrieved from the corresponding item line on the sales order. You can change the text. |
Deliv. Date | This is the item line’s delivery date. The date is retrieved from the corresponding item line on the sales order. You cannot change the date. |
For Packing | This field shows how many item units are selected to be packed and delivered on the preferred delivery date. The value cannot be changed manually.
If you have Maconomy Bill of Materials, and the item is a BOM without inventory control, the quantity for packing will always be zero. BOM parts with inventory control are handled in the Packing List Lines window. |
Packed | Here you enter the quantity of items actually packed from the warehouse. Maconomy automatically suggests a value, based on the information on the sales order or any warehouse transaction information assigned to the order. For further information on how the suggested value is found, see the description of the action “Print Packing List.” You can change the suggested value if the physical inventory is short of items. Maconomy verifies that the amount you enter is divisible by the item’s minimum sales unit.
If you enter a quantity lower than the quantity in the “For Packing” field, Maconomy automatically creates back orders for the remaining items when the packing list is approved. At the same time, Maconomy updates the field “Back Orders” in the windows Item Information Card and Item Information in the Inventory module. Please note that if the order does not have partial delivery and the value in this field is lower than the quantity in the field “For Packing,” the packing list cannot be approved. If you have Maconomy Bill of Materials, and the item is a BOM without inventory control, the BOM cannot be handled in this window. BOM parts with inventory control are handled in the window Packing List Lines. If you activate this line, the BOM parts appear in the window Packing List Lines. |
Internal Desc. | This is the internal item description from the Item Information Card. It is suitable for messages to the warehouse, for example, to specify how an item should be handled and packed. The text can be changed.
The warehouse can use the field to return messages to the sales department. The text appears in the Sales Orders window when the sales order is retrieved there again. The text is not printed on external order documents. |
Extra Text 1-10 | In these fields, you can enter supplementary text for a further description of the current item. In the first three fields, Maconomy suggests the value from the corresponding fields in the item information card. You can change the suggested texts and enter additional information in the remaining seven fields. |
Popup 1-5 | In these fields, you can enter further information about the current item. Maconomy suggests the value from the corresponding fields in the item information card, but you can change the value for the current packing list line. The pop-up options are created in the window Popup Fields in the Set-Up module. |
Bill of Materials | If this field is marked, the item is a BOM. If the BOM header is not assigned inventory control, its BOM parts must be confirmed in the Packing List Lines window. If you activate this line, the BOM parts are shown in the window Packing List Lines. |
