Processing and Tracking Shipments


Follow these procedures to process the shipping of orders.

To ship an order

  1. Navigate to the Shipping screen > Shipments view.
  2. Select a pick ticket record.
  3. Drill down on the Pick Ticket field hyperlink.
  4. In the Allocated Lines list, select a line item.
  5. If the selected line item is a serialized product, add a new record for it in the Serial Numbers list.
  6. In the Allocated Lines list, click Ship to ship one or more selected line items, or click Ship All to ship all line items.

    This generates a shipped quantity in the Pick Ticket subview that is equal to the allocated quantity for the line items.

  7. In the upper Pick Ticket form, click Process Shipment to create inventory transactions for the line items selected in the Allocated Lines list and for the quantities specified in the Shipped Line form.

    NOTE:  If the Qty field on the Shipped Line form does not contain a value, clicking Process Shipment will not create inventory transactions.

Pick Tickets and Orders

Pick tickets and orders have the following relationship:

  1. Orders have one or many line items.
  2. Line Items may have one or many records (actions) in the database.
  3. One or many records (of type Allocate) can be associated with one pick ticket.

While Order ID and Order Item ID do not appear in the Pick Tickets view, these values reside in the database:

  • S_SHIPMENT_ID and S_ORDER_ITEM_ID in the S_ORDPART_MVMT table
  • S_ORDER_ID in the S_ORDER_ITEM table
