I have created a series on Integration Manager routines to automate part of our consignment billing process. One integration takes consignment sales we will report for billing and creates the items sold into a POP Shipment receipt document. The other integration takes consignment refunds we will report for credit and creates the items refunded into a POP Shipment/Invoice receipt document.
When the consignment vendor sends us the corresponding invoice or credit note we would then look to use PM's Enter/Match Invoices to match up the invoiced items. Likewise we would go into the PM Returns Transaction Entry form and enter in Return w/Credit lines for the items on a credit note.
What seems to be the issue is these PM functions hinge on matching up with a POP Order document. I wanted to save a step and create the Shipment and Shipment/Invoice items without a PO. Is this possible? Otherwise wouldn't I have to include an extra step in my "automated" process for consignment refunds? In other words, I integrate into new POP Order documents, then someone would need to manually bring these over into Shipment/Invoice for the credited items?
