The shipping proposal wizard’s purpose is to determine which customer requirements are due for shipping until a specific date, regardless of the inventory. The result of a shipping proposal can be conveyed to a ATM goods issue.
The “Shipping Proposal Wizward” can be reached via the main menu:
Sales-A/R - Automotive - Shipping - Shipping Proposal Wizard
If the feature “Shipping Proposal Wizard” is activated, a pick list of all the customers for whom a shipping proposal can be generated, is displayed.
The ATM shipping proposal wizard will only display customers that have at least one partner sales order or just individual orders. The decision what to display, is made in the ATM-Configuration.
The fields “Demands to date”, “Consultant” and “Item group” located in the upper part of the window, can be used to narrow down the search. After entering the desired search criteria, one can uncheck all the customers in the list through the feature None. The feature All in contrast selects all customers on the list. Only selected customers will be considered by the shipping proposal!
The feature create performs the following search in the background:
All allocations of the affected partner sales orders from each customer out of the selection result are searched if the “Quantity to be delivered” is greater than zero or its date is before the “Demands to date”. If the customer has at least one valid entry, the field “Created” is set to “Created”. If not, it is set to “Not created”. As mentioned above, if the customer is not selected in the first place, he will not be considered and therefore get “Ignored” in the field “Created”.
A double click on “Created” will lead straight to the Shipping Proposal for this customer.
After double clicking on “Created” (in the red box) the corresponding shipping proposal opens up
