Working on a new project: the way our sales management team wants the parts to look will be line 1- configured part, line 2- essentially just a line to show additional cost for printing each part. My issue is I am nervous that since the line 2 is not a make direct part that it will be missed being added to the pack therefor not invoiced at the time we ship the parts. The configured part already covers the operations for printing etc BUT as i noted, management wants there to be a clear defined line indicating how much the printing is for each part (think qty 3,000 price $0.03 each). We cannot use MISC line charges for this because MISC does not show the option of qty, just a total amount.
I hope this doesnt sound too confusing- wondering what others have used in perhaps a similar situation? Considered doing a bpm for shipping for the second line but havent figured out all the details yet.
Our team used to do this for “misc. charges” it was frequently missed by the shipping department. We moved everything to misc. line charges. Those do not require the shipping team to pick them. The order entry team has to add them to the sales order either at the header or line/detail level and it will pass through based on the settings.
We dont commonly use Mass Shipment because we can have multiple lines and releases on one sales order, so its just not common practice for us. Im not opposed to looking into it further tho- thanks for the suggestion
Two ways I’ve seen with past clients - (1) non-nettable part for the printing. Will show the 2nd line but still the issue of having to ship the line. (2) sales kits, where the part and the printing make up the kit. Downsides are the admin time for setting up all the kits, and often need to customize the pack slip and/or invoice to get it to come out the way you want.
