ORDERS Order Control Summary Shipment Update Method

When the Order Control Summary Shipment Update Method (I55) system control value is set to ORDERS or blank, the Billing Async updates the # Orders shipped field when the status of an order changes to closed.

The Orders shipped total includes:

• Shipped orders, including drop ship orders, confirmed; the system does not update the # Orders shipped until all of the units on the order are confirmed, soldout, or cancelled.

- A single order with multiple pick slips (for example, for ship alone items) updates the # Orders shipped by 1.

- An order with multiple recipients updates the # Orders shipped by the number of recipients. For example, an order with 2 ship-to customers updates the total by 2.

• Orders which include only non-inventory items, membership items, or virtual stored value card items; the system updates the total once the order is processed through billing.

• Express bill orders.

The Orders shipped total does not include:

• Orders which include only soldout items.

• Returns processed as negative quantities in order entry. Note: If the order also includes a regular item, the system includes the order in the Orders shipped total once all of the regular items on the order are confirmed.

INVOICES Order Control Summary Shipment Update Method

When the Order Control Summary Shipment Update Method (I55) system control value is set to INVOICES, the system updates the # Orders shipped field when the Billing Async creates an invoice for an order, excluding credit invoices.

The Orders shipped total includes:

• Invoices for an order, excluding credit invoices.

- A single order with multiple invoices updates the # Orders shipped by the number of invoices created. For example, an order with 2 invoices updates the total by 2.

- An order with multiple recipients updates the # Orders shipped by the number of invoices created for each ship to. For example, an order with 2 ship-to customers, each ship to containing 2 invoices, updates the total by 4.

- If you use Consolidated Invoice (B49), the system counts a consolidated invoice as one invoice, regardless of how many separate shipments are processed through billing.

• Express bill orders and drop ship orders since an invoice is still created.

• Orders which include only non-inventory items, membership items or virtual stored value card items since an invoice is still created.

The Orders shipped total does not include:

• Orders which include only soldout items since an invoice is never created.

• Returns processed as negative quantities in order entry, since the invoice created is a credit. Note: If the order also includes a regular item, the system includes the order in the Orders shipped total once an invoice is created for the regular item.

PICKS Order Control Summary Shipment Update Method

When the Order Control Summary Shipment Update Method (I55) system control value is set to PICKS, the system updates the # Orders shipped field when the Billing Async processes a pick control number for an order.

The Orders shipped total includes:

• Pick control numbers confirmed for an order.

- A single order with multiple pick control numbers updates the # Orders shipped by the number of pick control numbers confirmed through billing. For example, a pick was generated for a ship alone item and another pick was generated for all other items. The system generates a separate pick control number whenever an order is split into several pick slips; see Splitting an Order Across Multiple Picks for more information on the reasons an order is split into several pick slips.

- An order with multiple recipients updates the # Orders shipped by the number of pick control numbers generated and confirmed for each ship to. For example, an order with 2 ship-to customers, each ship to has 2 pick control numbers confirmed, updates the total by 4.

• Orders which include only non-inventory items or drop ship items since a pick control number is still generated.

The Orders shipped total does not include:

• Pick labels that are scanned and sent to billing since they do not contain any detail lines.

• Express bill orders since a pick control number is not generated.

• Returns processed as negative quantities in order entry since a pick control number is not generated. Note: If the order also includes any regular item, the system includes the order in the Orders shipped total once the pick control number(s) associated with the regular item(s) is processed by billing.

• Orders which include only sold out items, membership items, or virtual stored value card items since a pick control number is not generated.
