Re: Offline Ship

 
I found a way around this for an Offline Shipping interface I wrote for a  
customer last year.
 
Consider this straightforward scenario:
1. Order line(s) on a COM order are allocated to available inventory  against 
locations in a controlled warehouse.
2. A pick list is printed telling the picker what locations to pick the  
inventory from.
3. The inventory is picked, exact quantities and locations on the pick  list.
4. The Offline ship transactions are built and the Off Ship process uses  the 
COM allocations to transact inventory with SA transactions.
All is OK.
 
A less straightforward scenario:
1 & 2 happen as above.
3. The inventory is picked from a different location (reasons why this  
happens are numerous). The quantities and locations are fed into a  file of 
picks 
(outside MAPICS) 
4. The Offline Ship transactions are built but before the Offline Ship  
process is called, the original allocation records are updated/deleted as  
required 
to reflect the quantities/locations where the inventory was actually  picked 
from.
All is still OK.
 
Apologies if this is a bit complicated to follow, but if you are/have been  
close to Offline Ship I think you will understand!

Yep.  Happens to us also.  We wrote an audit  program that detects those and
have a clerk manually keying the SA's  through I/M.

Has anyone using  Offship ever have a problem where the SA transactions are
not being done,  yet Offship reports no errors?  We have had two instances
of this  happening & it is no fun fixing.

Thanks in advance....
