About Shipping Memos

Shipping memo is the record of stock items being shipped from an internal storeroom, whether from storeroom to storeroom or from storeroom to vendor.

Shipping memos can be created for both standard and tracked stock items and enables storeroom managers and shipping clerks a way to manage and track stock items being shipped between locations.

Some uses for shipping memo include the following:

  • Tracking stock items returned to vendors for credit, replacement, or repair

  • Help manage the return of repaired or replacement stock items back into Inventory
There are four categories of shipping memos:
  • General is the default shipping memo category that should be used when creating a shipping memo manually.
  • Repair is used when returning stock items from a purchase order needing reconditioning or repair to a vendor.
  • Return is used when returning stock items from a purchase order to a vendor for credit or replacement.
  • Transfer is used when creating a Stores Transfer (transferring stock items between storerooms) to reference on the shipping memo.

Shipping memos can be created from various places in the system, such as Menu, Purchase Order, Return, Stock Transfer, and so on.
