Re: Off-line partial shipments and a single off-line final invoice

Richard,

We did a process almost identical to that, but not using Varsity Shipper. We
used the Offline Shipping Enhancement (included in R7.8) - are they keeping
Varsity Shipper?

Subject: [MAPICS-L] Off-line partial shipments and a single off-line final
invoice

Would appreciate any thoughts you have on the following:



Background:

(1) XA rel. 7.8, full complement of modules including IFM

(2) Varsity Shipper

(3) Some partial shipments, but customer wants only one invoice per
customer order

(4) 48 hour order turnaround environment



Definition of current process:

(1) Using custom programming determine if the customer order has been
completely/physically shipped

(1) If complete, load off-line ship records with "invoice option" = 2
(invoice now)

a. Generates the SA transaction

b. Generates the invoice and feeds IFM with GLI transactions and AR



Desired process:

(1) Create off-line ship records as the line items of an order are
physically shipped with "invoice option" = 0 (do not invoice)

(2) Separate "off-line" invoicing process to generate a single invoice
across all the shipments of a customer order WITHOUT MANUAL INTERVENTION
(i.e, use a scheduled job or ???).

a. Would expect to have a custom program that would determine (as
above) if an order is fully ship and load an off-line invoicing process.
