Combine shipments

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 166

Hi everybody,

I don't manage to use the combine shipment functionality 

- On the customer card the combine shipment is TRUE 

- different orders and different shipments of the same custumer in the same month (period) 

But Nav doesn't combine anything 

Is there any other setup that It must be fixed  besides the one in the customer card?

MAny thanks 

Alessandro

    I can add to this : That in a clean situation - created now in version 20  - it works as expected, i only refer to the orders created and shipped before the migration to version 20 that do not combine at all

    RE: Combine shipments

    Hi,

    We use the combine shipment functionality many times per month. From version 20 on, it seems that combining shipments works totally different  in case where e.g. Sold to customer and invoice to customer differs.  

    e.g. let's say we have 3 "sold to" customers that are invoice via  the same "build to" customer and i run the combine Shipments in order to group several shipments from different orders together on one invoice, then in the past i would receive three combined invoices (per sold to customer),  having each invoice,  grouping shipments from different orders ...  When we do exact the same now : we receive per per sold to customer / "per sales order" !!!! and invoice.   Actually : only grouping shipment origination from the same sales order.  the difference : instead of three grouped invoices, one for every build to customer , we receive now 180 individual invoices (exact the same result as if i would invoice every sales order separately.

    I can easily make the case less complex by start combining not on 'invoice to" customer, but on "sold to" customer.

    In that case i receive for the above example 80 invoices for the sold to customer that i selected.  In fact  that "sold to" and "invoice to" can differ on customer / order setting does not make any difference

    This looks like a serious change / bug that undermines the entire functionality of combining shipments

    We have no idea what causes this behaviour ....

    Is there anyone from Microsoft monitoring this community platform ?

    In order to get combined shipments, there is a function that will create one invoice. Search for Combine Shipments and filter as desired, below is a screenshot of the function.

    I believe you can combine shipments even if the customer's field is not set to true....but I haven't tested that in a while.
