Occasionally, a vendor may not have enough inventory in stock to ship an entire order. When this happens, you reconcile only the products actually received against the products ordered. You can then invoice the customer and pay the vendor for only the quantity received, following the process for reconciling complete lot item shipments.
To reconcile a partial lot item shipment:
From the Orders menu, select Sales Order Entry to display the Sales Order Entry Body window.
From the Line Item menu, select Lot Item Status to display the Lot Item Status window.
From the File menu, select Material Detail to display the Lot Item Material Detail window.
From Edit menu, select Change Shipment, and select New from the list.
Select Change Shipment again and select the original shipment date generation that matches the vendor invoice.
For each item not shipped, from the Edit menu, select DetailScheduling to schedule the products for the new shipment date. When you are done:
The items on the original ship date generation must match the partial shipment information on the vendor's invoice.
The items not shipped must be scheduled for the new ship date generation.
