Added to NDS Applications, version 7.5.3, 8.1
In program OEICS, Inter-Company Quick Ship, users can record the shipment of items on inter-company sales orders. In this program, the sales orders are picked by item. When the item number and quantity is entered, the program determines which sales order is being shipped. If there are multiple sales orders for the item, the sales order with the oldest due date will be selected, although this can be overridden by the user.
Shipping Inter-Company Sales Orders
1. In the Ship Dt field, enter the date on which the sales orders are being shipped. The default is the system date, but it can be overridden.
2. In the Cust No field, enter the customer number for which you are shipping the inter-company sales orders. Only customers that have been setup as internal customers can be entered here.
3. In the Bol No field, enter the bill of lading number for this shipment.
4. In the Shipvia field, enter the ship via code from program SPSF, Ship Via Code Maintenance, for this shipment.
5. In the middle block, in the Item No field, enter the item number that is being shipped.
The item must exist on at least one status O- Complete or J - Confirmed Incomplete inter-company sales order. If it does not, a warning will be displayed and you will not be able to ship the item.
The sales order information is displayed in the lower block of the program. The sales order with the oldest due date is selected by default.
6. In the Qty to Ship field, enter the quantity of the item that is being shipped.
The selected order will be updated to status J - Confirmed Incomplete. The quantity shipped will be set to the entered quantity, up to the quantity ordered on the sales order line. If the quantity entered is greater than the quantity ordered, the next oldest sales order with the item will be selected, and the process will repeat until the total quantity entered is reached.
If the quantity entered is greater than the quantity ordered on all of the sales orders for this item, the last sales order shipped will be shipped for the remaining quantity even if it's greater than the quantity ordered.
If the remaining quantity entered is less than the quantity ordered on the last sales order, then the remainder of that line will be backordered.
If the sales orders that are selected for shipment have multiple lines, the remaining lines will be backordered initially, until the quantities are entered for the remaining items.
7. In the lower block, the quantity shipped and backordered can be maintained for the item.
8. In the Qty Shipped field, the quantity from the middle block will be entered automatically, but it can be changed.
9. In the Qty BO field, the quantity backordered is calculated as the quantity ordered - quantity shipped, but it can be changed.
10. For controlled items, and non-controlled items that are to be shipped from a location other than the default, select the item and press the [Ship Details] button. This allows you to specify the shipping location and control numbers.
11. In the Plant Code field, enter the plant from which the item will be shipped.
12. In the Area field, enter the stock area from which the item will be shipped.
13. In the Bin field, enter the bin location from which the item will be shipped.
14. For lot controlled items, in the Control Number - Start field, enter the lot control number for the items being shipped. The List of Values displays the control numbers that exist in this indicated stock area and bin location.
If you are using master lots, you can enter a lot control number range here.
Enter the first lot control number in the range in the Control Number - Start field.
Enter the last control number in the range in the Control Number - End field.
Only lot control numbers with master lots can be shipped in ranges.
For more information on master lots, see the Shipping Master Lots and Lot Control Number Ranges section of the help for program OESC, Shipping Confirmation.
15. For serial controlled items, you can enter a range of serial control numbers for the shipped quantity.
Enter the first control number in the range in the Control Number - Start field.
Enter the last control number in the range in the Control Number - End field.
If you enter a range of serial control numbers for the items, the range of control numbers must be equal to the number of items being shipped from the indicated location. For example, if you are shipping 5 of an item, you need to enter a range of control numbers that includes exactly five control numbers.
If the item that is being shipped is defined as optional control in program ICEM, Item/Plant Maintenance, and it is being shipped from a non-controlled location, a control number must be entered for the item.
16. In the Qty Shipped field, enter the quantity to be shipped from the entered location.
Double-clicking in the Qty Shipped field will automatically enter the quantity ordered less the backordered quantity.
You can ship quantities from multiple locations and with multiple control numbers.
If the SKU Not Mutable flag is set to on in program ICSM, Inventory Sales Data Maintenance, for the item and sales units of measure, shipments for the item and unit of measure will be shipped using that SKU unit of measure for the item.
17. In the Container field, enter the container in which the items will be shipped. You can enter numbers from 1 to 99 in this field.
18. Press Commit.
19. When all items and shipment quantities have been entered, press the [Process Shipments] button in the header.
20. If you attempt to exit the form without processing the shipments, you will receive an exit alert:
Unprocessed items have been entered. What would you like to do?
Choices are:
Exit Form: The items are not processed and you are returned to the menu.
Return to Form: The items are not processed and you are returned to the form.
Process and Exit: The items are processed and you are returned to the menu.
The sales order lines will be processed for shipment.
For controlled items, indicate the lot and quantity to ship. For non-controlled items, indicate which location, other than the default, from which you wish to ship items.
