V 5.1 "shipped" ck box in Packing Slip Header

Yahoo Archive

We've run into the same problem. In our case, the majority of our customers
will not receive partial shipments, so shipments are staged until all parts
are puilled. It may be a week or so before the entire shipment is ready.
A\R deletes invoices until notified by shipping that the entire shipment is
complete and shipped. It creates some extra work but it is the only way
that we found to keep inventory quantities somewhat accurate and we're not
biling for parts that haven't shipped.

In version 5.1 the check box in the Customer Packing Slip Header has changed
from "Ready to Invoice" to "Shipped". The problem we are running into is
that if you don't check the box, it doesn't close the Sales Order Line and
Release. If you do check the box so the line is closed it makes all
shipments immediately available for invoicing when using Get Shipments which
we don't want. Epicor Support says it's working as designed.

Is anyone else having a problem with this or figured out a work around?

We wait until the tracking numbers and other incidentials are entered into
the shipment
header before we check the "shipped" box.
Also be advised that if you partial ship an order, you will have to manually
close the
order release when you finally ship the total order release quantity.
Epicor is aware
of this problem and is working on a fix.

Hi Sue ...

We don't always want every shipment to be invoiced either ...

But we don't have a better solution than to do "Get Shipments"
and then delete the unwanted invoices from the group ...
