Re: Correcting Shipment after submitted

Brad,

If they are tailored to allow for negative on hand quantities there is no
method for MAPICS to know when or when not to allocate.

You may want to explore the discreet allocations capability which allows you
to allocate inventory to a specific customer order. Then, the pick list
will only include allocated (there for available inventory).

Subject: [MAPICS-L] Correcting Shipment after submitted

I have a customer that is implementing XA at one of their new
acquisitions. This new site sometimes have Customer Orders that may
include up to 2000 line items.

They use the "Ship Complete" function in COM when they know they have
on-hand inventory to by-pass all the shipping screens and to handle all
the inventory transactions - but sometimes AFTER they've done this for a
shipment - they find they've made a mistake and have to correct it.

Apparently the way XA forces you to "back out" the shipment is to go line
by line and zero out what you said you shipped. There is no function to
either just back out the line item that was in error or to easily back
out
the entire shipment. Obviously with orders that have many, many line
items this is a cumbersome task.

Has anyone solved this by writing a program/programs to allow the backing
out a specific line item of a shipment or to delete and back out an
entire
shipment?
