Enter Shipped Quantity

Explanation

When a customer is buying parts that you must purchase from a supplier, you can perform a direct delivery from the supplier to your customer. This means that the parts never pass through your warehouse.

Enter a customer order with the supply code Purch Order Dir. or Int Purch Dir. When you choose to acquire a part via a direct purchase order using Purch Order Dir, a requisition is created in Requisition page with the corresponding demand code Customer Order Direct when the customer order is released. Next, process the requisition in the usual way to create a purchase order in the Purchase Order page. If the supply code Int Purch Dir is used, a purchase order is directly created when the customer order is released. In case the purchase order is printed, the customer's address is specified as the shipping address on the purchase order line.

When the supplier confirms that the shipment has gone to the customer, confirm the purchase order in the system. Then enter the delivery in Register Direct Delivery. The customer order is then closed and invoiced in the customer order module. When you enter a direct shipment, specify the quantity of parts the supplier has delivered.

In Register direct delivery for parts that are delivered from an internal supplier (the site at which the supplier is connected and the site at which the direct delivery is registered belong to the same company), if the full quantity is registered as Direct Delivered, the customer order status is updated. If the the customer is internal (belonging to same company to which the site where the direct delivery is registered), the customer order receives the Invoiced/Closed status. Note that an invoice is not created as the customer is internal. If the customer on the other hand is external, the customer order receives the Delivered status, and an invoice can be created. 

Purchase orders with direct delivery are reported in Register Direct Delivery instead of in the receipt function.

If one or more of the following applies to any of the order lines, the Receipt Reference dialog will open so that a receipt reference can be entered:
