Re: lots per invoice line

Every shipment has a document number issued at the time of the shipment.  
We need to modify this some time so that the number is truely unique & 
incremented for the people.  There are files associated with shipping that 
can be accessed if you have that document #.

Our shipments might have several different item#s on the same shipment & 
invoice.

Try SIH which used to be SLH on BPCS/36 or was that SIL?

We like SIH because it has the Pricing at time of shipment, which sometimes 
changes over the life of a customer order.  However, SIH might have similar 
downsides to you than ITH.

Every Line Item on every Invoice, corresponding to the Line Item on original 
ECL order, writes a record to SIH & the line numbers are interlinked.  It 
might not have all the data you need, but it is a start.  There is a document 
# associated with the ESH shipping record, which can be used to "correct" a 
mistake & reprint the shipping document after billing, and then generate a 
corrected invoice.  We have not done this, so I do not know exactly how it 
works out.

We modified our invoicing to print the shipping document #, and a lot of our 
users access a diversity of files using that control number.

We are on BPCS 405 CD & do not use lots - I am just trying to be helpful.
We can have one invoice for one order, or several invoices for one order, one 
shipment or several shipments for one order.  I do not know how that plays 
out for lots.

We have some customers who want the line #s on their PO into our system so 
that when we do a shipment, it says line# such & such on their PO, and there 
might be a whole bunch of different line #s on same PO & same customer order.

Normally we can have several customer orders with the same PO#, but on 
occasion we screw things up so that one customer order has more than one PO# 
... another thread.
