Understanding the Goods Dispatch Note Report (R74R3031)

In some situations, you might ship goods without selling the goods. You produce the Goods Dispatch Note report (R74R3031) to confirm the shipment of materials to a contractor or to another business unit when the materials are shipped but not sold. You can select multiple sales orders for which you print one good dispatch note. When you select multiple sales orders, the system assigns the same delivery number to all sales order selected if the customer bill instructions allow consolidated invoices. The system also summarized all lines with the same item number in one line if you set up this functionality.

To print the Goods Dispatch Note report, you run the Print Invoices program (R42565). The Print Invoices program completes the validations and tax calculations. The system calls the version of the Print Invoice - PO program (P7420565) program that matches the version of the Print Invoices program and launches the Goods Dispatch Note program. The Goods Dispatch Note program assigns the legal number and produces the report.

You set processing options for the Goods Dispatch Note program by creating a version of the Print Invoice - PO program (P7420565) for goods dispatch note documents.
