RE: RE: World P4205 Ship Confirm - in Batch?
a) Your program to advance status for invoicing does no other specific
processing right?
1. We only advance the statuses after ALL boxes of an order have passed
through our shipping stations.
2. The order is checked to make sure that it is not on any type of sales
hold.
3. Only lines with a next status of '560' are set to '580'. We also set
field SDLTTR = '560' and SDADDJ = today's date in JDE Fmt.
b) Sounds like if not done previously, the P42800 will additionally
'ship confirm' the sales details? and create cardex, update inventory,
etc.. the same as if it was ship confirmed by hand (online)?
We discovered this by "accident" because we did not have a document type
defined in UDC 40/IU. JD Edwards has a document on the Knowledge Garden
describing all of the functions of the P42800 program. We found the
document to be helpful.
Note: Did you build in any kind of exception handling for short or
changed product?
No. If we are short on an item, the box containing the item is sent to
our "hospital" area and waits for the product. We have been discussing
how we could short ship and then create a backorder, but it is not on
our project list at this time.
