Program RELX, Shipping New Receipts Batch Control, is used to ship sales orders using received inventory in the receiving location set up in program ILPM, Plant Code Maintenance.
* You must have a default receiving location set up for the plant in program ILPM, Plant Code Maintenance, to use this program. The receiving location should have the OE Ship flag set to off in program ILMM, Location Master Maintenance, to prevent other shipping programs from shipping inventory from the location.
* You must have a location set up with the Staging flag set to on in program ILMM, Location Master Maintenance, for Ship Complete Only sales orders. This location should also have the OE Ship flag set to on.
* Control number ranges are not handled in this program.
* If the item is a non-maintain on hand item or a non-stocked item, and the quantity received is greater than the quantity ordered, the quantity received will be shipped to the customer.
Sales orders shipped in this program must meet the following criteria:
* Every sales order line item must have a received quantity in the receiving location.
* The ship date must be the system date or earlier.
* No drop shop sales order lines.
The second page of the program displays all receiver lines and items that exist in the receiving location.
Some setup needs to be completed in program MURM, Initialization Parameter Maintenance.
* Label Printing for Receipts*Label_Printing_for_Receipts_MURM
* Control Number Warning*Control_Number_Warning_MURM
This program requires the Shipped Order Status pop-list to be set in program ILPM, Plant Code Maintenance.
* It is recommended that the setting be Orders requiring Confirmation, which will set the status to J - Confirmed Incomplete, when the Process Receiver Line button is pressed.
* If the pop-list is set to Orders ready to Invoice, the sales order will be changed to status S - Complete when the receiver line is processed. This may cause problems if you have more than one sales order line that is waiting for receipts.
Some NDS Drill Down setup may need to be completed to print pick lists for the sales orders.

Ship Complete Only Sales Orders
Sales Orders with Future Ship Dates
When sales orders have the Ship Complete Only flag set to on, they are treated differently in this program than those sales orders that do not. When the Ship Complete Only flag is set to on, and all inventory is either in stock or in the receiving location, the sales order will be processed as normal. When the Ship Complete Only flag is set to on, and the order cannot be shipped complete, the inventory that can be shipped will be staged until the remaining inventory is available.
When the [Ship This Order] button or [Ship All Orders] button is pressed, the system will determine whether the sales order should be shipped as normal or whether it should stage the sales order.
A sales order will be staged if it has already been staged by a previous batch shipping session or if it has the Ship Complete Only flag set to on and there is insufficient inventory in the receiving area to fully ship the order.
If the sales order is to be staged, then any quantities selected for the sales order will be moved to the staging area from the receiving location. An automatic pick will also be performed from stock for any remaining quantities.
Once any remainder has been staged from stock, the system checks the quantity staged against the quantity ordered for each line. If the quantity staged is equal to or greater than the quantity ordered on all lines, the sales order is considered shipped complete, and will be shipped.
If the quantity staged is less than the quantity ordered for one or more sales order lines, the sales order will remain partially staged until the remaining inventory to ship the sales order is received and the sales order can be staged the rest of the way.
In batch shipping receipts with program RELX, Shipping New Receipts Batch Control, partially staged sales orders take precedent over those that are not.
When the sales order ship date is later than the system date, the sales order will be staged instead of being shipped. Staged orders with the ship date in the future will not be shipped even if all sales order lines have been fully staged. When the [Ship All Orders] button is pressed, and the ship date is before or the same as the system date for sales orders that have been fully staged in this program, the sales orders will be shipped.
