Use the All Complete feature to quickly set a multi-generation order to ship when all quantities of all items are available. When a customer doesn't have an immediate need for any of the currently available items, waiting to ship the order complete improves shipping and handling efficiency.
When you use this feature, the system changes all order generations to the last shipping date — the date when the entire order is completely available.
When you exit the Body tab, the system prompts you to ship multiple generations together on the last date. If you neglect to do this, the All Complete feature lets you later consolidate order generations to ship everything when complete.
To ship all order generations together:
Create or open a sales order and display the order's Status tab.
From the Ship menu, select All Complete.
In the Order Status column, edit the order status fields as needed. For example, change all the order generations so they have the same status, such as Ship When Specified or Call When Complete.
Exit the Status tab to process the order.
If prompted to edit the order's required dates, edit the dates if you like, and exit.
