ship confirm

Hi

We are trying to interface JD Edwards to an existing shipping system. Is there a way to load shipment confirmations into JD Edwards. All of our onhand balances are going to be kept in JD Edwards and we need all the appropriate files updated when we make a shipment but we want to make the shipment in the legacy system and just feed the information into JD Edwards.

any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

thanks

If you are using the transportation module within JDE this may become more complicate.

However, if not; here are my thoughts are you just looking to Ship Confirm the OneWorld sales order through your interface?? If so there is a R42500 - 'ShipConfirm in Batch' you could call this and pass the necessary values. You could also simply read through the ER to determine what functions you would need to call in order to update OW from your external system.

Good Luck!

I'm assuming the sales order already exists in JDE. If not see the next
paragraph. Your best bet might be to write a program that directly updates
information to the F4211, Sales Order Detail file. Fields to update are
Quantity Shipped and Actual Ship Date. Then run Batch Ship Confirm in JDE.
Check to be sure there are no other fields to update by comparing two lines
in the same order, one done with manual updates to the files plus batch ship
confirm, the other using online ship confirm.

If the order does not already exist in JDE, you can feed data to the
F4001Z/F4011Z and create sales orders using R40211Z. Then just run Invoice
Print and Sales Update. Sales Update is smart enough to look at the Onhand
Updated? flag in the F4211 and to update Inventory if Ship Confirm has not
been run.
