Viewing Sales Order Shipment Details

Often, customers want information about their shipments for a single order answering the question, "Tell me about the shipment I have for this job." The Order Shipment Details view provides all this information in a single window. You can view all the products associated not only on the order, but by generation. You can sort by product and shipping quantities or you can display the purchasing information to help your customer understand the options on their orders.

Note: This order view displays active orders and products. To see deleted items, use the Order Summary Snapshot in the Eclipse Forms documentation.

To view all shipment details for an order:

  1. From Orders menu, select Sales Order Entry and display the order for which you want to view shipment details.

  2. Select the Status tab to activate the Status window.

  3. From the File menu, select Order Shipment Details to display the Order Shipment Detail window.

Note: You can also use the File > Order Shipment Details option to display the Order Shipment Detail window from the Body and Totals tab.

  1. You use the arrows ( ) between the areas to collapse the Order Generations area or the Product Details area. You can also use the File > Find option to search for a specific product on the order.

  2. Use the File menu to either Return to the Body of the order or Return to the Status tab.

  3. Review the More Options section of this document for more activity options available from the Order Shipment Details window.
