Re: How do you show C.O.D. charges at Pick List time?

Philip,

It doesn't look like anyone has answered your question and I waited a few days to see how some of our MAPICS users would answer.  I'm surprised as I thought this was a fairly easy one.  When I was a customer using this software, our shipping department made a similar request as they do need the total value  to properly fill out the C.O.D. paperwork.  Our customer service people entered the charges as a Special Charge on the order after conferring with the shipping department.  Then when our Warehouse Clerk created the Pick List, they were authorized to create a Pro-Forma Invoice so they could get all the Invoice details for the shipment.  I don't know what level of MAPICS your company is on, but the new R6.5 release provides the tools the shop floor personnel need to help automate their jobs.  At the same time, these functions provide greater visibility to pending orders so your customers benefit from more on time shipments and your company benefits from more accurate "real-time" inventory.  

Another option you have is to use the User Exit for the Pick List form and on all C.O.D. shipments, print the total value + C.O.D. charges (customer service people would have to enter the Special Charge first) as one value in the headings.  I don't believe they need a line by line value on the Pick List, but just the total dollars involved including the special charges.  

Any other suggestions from our MAPICS users?

Perhaps the question is not correct, but here is the scenario.

Our shipping people need to know the full C.O.D. price when they PACK the
material so they can prepare the UPS C.O.D. paper work?  They have asked us
to include special charges, etc. - full invoice data on the PICKING LIST.

That doesn't seem to be the purpose of the document.  

How are others handling this?
