> Example:
> 600,000 order - 3 units to build
> All built at one time
> Shipping - 3 due dates (3 seperate months)
> 30 truck shipments
> 10 each unit
> Payment terms:
> 20% upon Receipt of material
> 60% upon each unit shipment
> 20% at 90 days after shipment
> Concerns:
> How to setup jobs in project
> How will WIP be cleared
> Do we set up 3 different jobs against one sales order- one
>project
> Or one job with 30 line items for shipping.
>
>
> If anyone has any suggestions, we would be most appreciative.
