The following describes the steps (in sequential order) you would follow when processing a Transit delivered BtB order.
The work flow differs depending on the:
- type of creation for the purchase order (i.e. automatic or manual)
- type of reception you choose
- purchase/sales order type used for the order.
Transit delivery with automatic creation of PO
With a transit delivery, it is most common to assign a print of the purchase order document in the Purchase order type table. If you indicate a direct printout, the purchase order will automatically be created after you exit the sales order routine.
The work flow for a Transit delivery, with an automatic creation of the Purchase order immediately after you exit the sales order routine, is as follows:
Using the Receive replenishment line program:
- Enter the sales order.
- Print the sales order confirmation.
- Report the goods as received when you have received them. This is done via the Receive replenishment line menu item.
- Print the quality control note (if the item(s) is under quality control).
- Confirm the quality control note (if the item(s) is under quality control).
- Print the sales order pick list.
- Confirm the sales order pick list.
- Print the transport note, if it was assigned for printout in the Sales order type table.
- Print the invoice.
If you do not use the Receive replenishment line program, the work flow is the same as above but instead of doing what is outlined in step 3 you would:
- Print the reception note, and
- Confirm the reception note
Transit delivery with manual creation of PO
With a transit delivery, it is most common to assign a print of the purchase order document in the Purchase order type table. If you indicate a batch printout, you must manually create the purchase order via the Create BtB purchase order program.
The work flow for a Transit delivery with manual creation of PO is as follows:
Using the Receive replenishment line program:
- Enter the sales order.
- Print the sales order confirmation.
- Create the purchase order manually via the Create BtB purchase order menu item.
- Print the purchase order document if it was assigned a Batch printout in the Purchase order type table.
- Report the goods as received when you have received them. This is done via the Receive replenishment line menu item.
- Print the quality control note (if the item(s) is under quality control).
- Confirm the quality control note (if the item(s) is under quality control).
- Print the sales order pick list.
- Confirm the sales order pick list.
- Print the transport note, if it was assigned for printout in the Sales order type table.
- Print the invoice.
If you do not use the Receive replenishment line program, the work flow is the same as above but instead of doing what is outlined in step 5 you would:
- Print the reception note, and
- Confirm the reception note
