From the Direct Through Stock Queue, you can create shipments for any of the line items, as needed. Use the Action Qty column to indicate the quantity you need to ship for that line. The system creates one shipment for all products selected for a customer.
The system completes the record when the shipped quantity and received quantity are equal. You must then display the completed orders to view those records.
You cannot ship more than you have available. The shipment orders have no costs or prices. Any General Ledger postings will be listed at zero ($0.0), similar to how consignment transfers work.
Any standard Eclipse order status can be used on shipments. You can add freight and handling charges to the shipment, if needed.
Note:Branch overrides are ignored when handling DTS shipments because pricing and G/L branch assignments are not relevant to a DTS order at this stage. The system uses the shipping branch listed in the DTS Queue for DTS shipment orders.
To create shipment for a DTS order:
In the Action Qty column for each row you want to ship, enter the quantity you want to ship. For each line item you specify, the system creates a shipment.
Press Enter to commit the quantity entered.
From the Order menu, select Create Shipment.
After you create a shipment, the system updates Avail Qty and Shipped Qty columns accordingly.
Note: If you are creating a Job Management shipments, the system copies the customer purchase order number, release number and job bid name to the shipment. You can edit the ship-to address after the shipment creation, if needed, but not the customer name.
Exit the queue.
The system changes the stock type in the Line Item Scheduling window to “W” and displays the customer number.
After the shipment is created, you can edit the order, as needed from Sales Order Entry.
