Steven -- It is kind of scary letting our shipping department do invoicing, but they work at crazy hours (5AM to 2AM) so we don't always have accounting people available when they need customs invocies (which we deal with everyday). I heard a rumor that E9 might have a better more secure customs invoicing procedure....
I have not seen the problems with the 810, but we are still in the testing phase right now, so we aren't generating 810's everyday. I'm glad you mentioned it though....I will keep an eye on it when we go live! Thanks,
Adam Whipp

> Thanks for the input Steven. You and I were dicussing this topic in a post last month -- I remember helping trying to get the BPM to fire at the time of invoicing. This seems like a good solution, but our shipping department actually will invoice early in the day if they need to print invocies for customs purposes. So a shipment may be "invoiced" at 10 AM, but it won't get set on the truck until 4 PM. We don't want the ASN going out at 10 AM (half the time, this is more like a rough draft at 10 AM, and will get changed 4 times throughout the day...I'm sure you've been there and seen that!) And sometimes, we don't invoice until 2 days later...at which time the ASN will be too late.

When that checkbox is checked on the bill of lading (manually clicked by the shipping department after the truck leaves), it will generate ASNs for all linked packing slips. I may just have to stick with this.

I want this to be available to click even after a packing slip is "shipped" but I cannot figure out how. It grays out after I "ship" the packing slip. Is there an easy way to fix this? My reason is for autopriting ASNs for EDI. We were going to do it at the same time the packing slip is "shipped" but I found out that we pre-ship packing slips a lot. Therefore, I decided to have another checkbox on the screen for "Ready for ASN" but it is not able to be clicked. Thanks!!
