Re: COM Picked, Packed or Shipped but not Invoiced

Les,

We resolved this by switching to using Offline Shipping Enhancement, run in
batch mode at the end of the day.  To show what was picked/packed for
shipment, we change the items that were picked/packed to discretely
allocated (we don't use discrete allocations in our normal order
processing).  The time frame between Offship processing and Invoicing is
minutes at most.

This move also saved us a ton of manpower hours in keying - COM
Pick/Pack/Ship isn't exactly the most convenient application in a
controlled warehouse without allocated inventory.  Offline Shipping
resolved that handily.  But it took some work to implement - it's not
exactly a standard canned application by any stretch of the imagination;
there was no entry screens available when we did it and I don't think there
is yet.  It's a tool that accepts files that have already been loaded, just
like any off-line load application.

I am at XAR4.  My accounting group complains that when in COM we pick, pack
or ship an item but have not invoiced the inventory goes into a black hole.
In IM the on hand balance decreases but since there has been no invoice
they
are not yet in AR, thus the "black hole".  Are there any files and fields I
can use that identifies pick, pack and/or shipped but not invoiced?  I want
to create a report accounting can use to reconcile this "black hole" so
they
can balance inventory month to month.

Thanks in advance,
