Waiting to Ship All Items Together

Use the All Complete hot key on an order's Status screen to quickly set a multi-generation order to ship when all quantities of all items are available. When a customer doesn't have an immediate need for any of the currently available items, waiting to ship the order complete improves shipping and handling efficiency.

Once you use this hot key, the system changes all order generations to the last shipping date — the date when the entire order is completely available.

When you press Esc after entering products on the order's Body screen, the system prompts you to ship multiple generations together on the last date. If you neglect to do this, the All Complete hot key lets you later consolidate order generations to ship everything when complete.

To ship all order items together:

Create or open a sales order and display the order's Status screen.
Use the All Complete hot key.
In the Order Status column, edit the order status fields as needed. For example, change all the order generations so they have the same status, such as Ship When Specified or Call When Complete.
Press Esc to process the order.

If prompted that "Ship Dates Have Changed, Edit Required Dates," enter Y or N. After editing dates, press Esc.
