If, after you have entered a lot item order, you need to ship a smaller quantity than indicated, you can move the remaining quantity to a new ship date without rescheduling them on the Lot Item Mat'l Detail Scheduling window.
To backorder a lot item material:
From the Orders menu, select Sales Order Entry to display the Sales Order Entry window.
Open a sales order that includes a lot item.
Select the lot item.
From the Line Item menu, select Lot Item Status to display the Lot Item Status window.
From the File menu, select Material Detail to display the Lot Item Material Detail window.
In the Ship Qty field for the material to backorder, enter the quantity to ship on the current ship date.
Note: You cannot change shipment quantities if the value in the Shipment field is All Detail. From the Edit menu, select Change Shipment and select the date for which to move quantities.
Do one of the following:
If... | Then... |
more than one ship date has been set up | the system transfers the remaining quantity to the next open ship date. Continue with step 10. |
only one ship date has been set up | a prompt displays. Continue with the next step. |
At the Backorder Reduced Qtys in this Session to a Common Ship Date prompt, enter Yes to display a second prompt.
If you must enter No, the system does not add the remaining quantity to an open ship date. You must schedule the remaining quantity manually or reduce the amount in the Order Qty field to match the amount in the Ship Qty field. You cannot exit the window until the total shipment quantity - spread out over several shipments, if needed - matches the total ordered quantity.
At the BO Generation prompt, enter the date to ship the remaining quantity.
Note: These two prompts display only for the first quantity reduction. After that, the system assigns all subsequent backordered items to the same ship date you assigned to the first backordered item, unless you change the ship date view or exit from the window.
When you have finished backordering products, return to the Sales Order Entry Body window and press Esc to display the Sales Order Entry Status window.
