To close a shipping manifest:Close a manifest when the delivery driver returns to the warehouse, or you receive confirmation of delivery from a third party vendor. When you close a manifest, the system prints the invoice for each transaction on the manifest. Closing a manifest changes the order's Prt flag from M to P, and updates the ship date and ship via on all orders on the manifest to match the dates on the manifest if the Do Not Change Ship Date Or Ship Via On Manifest Close control maintenance record is set to N. The Review Queue Status in the Warehouse Picking Confirmation Queue also changes to Closed.
Note: If a manifest's ship ticket is in a closed accounting period and has a different ship date or ship via than the manifest, the system will not update the ship ticket with the different ship date or ship via when you close the manifest.
Use the Activity Based Costing Log to verify delivery costs associated with adding an order to a manifest after you close the manifest. If the Log ABC Delivery Charge control maintenance record is set to Manifest Close, no activity-based cost is logged for the delivery charges since the customer pays the cost of the delivery.
To re-open closed manifests, you must be assigned the SOE.MANIFEST.EDIT authorization key with a level 2 authorization.
