RE: Combine Shipments - Drop Shipment
Hello,
I have read your thread and have one question... I have used Combined Shipment for many of my customers and posting orders as invoiced follows the same principles as posting order shipments:
• An order can be invoiced completely or partially.
• When posted as invoiced, order information transfers to a separate document - a posted invoice.
Additionally:
• G/L, customer, and VAT entries are created.
• When completely invoiced (no outstanding quantity to invoice on any of the order lines) the order is deleted automatically. This is with the exception of when an order is invoiced through a combined shipment.
• Several shipments can be combined into one invoice.
The Quantity Invoiced fields on the lines of related sales orders and posted sales shipments are updated. When an order is completely invoiced using a combined shipment function, it is not deleted automatically. This is done manually or with the Delete Invoiced Sales Order batch job. If a large number of sales documents needs to be posted, consider batch posting the documents instead of posting the documents individually. Access the Batch Post Sales Orders batch job on the sales document by clicking the Actions menu, pointing to Post and then clicking Post Batch.
Are you saying that you cannot Post the Purchase Invoice until you Post the Sales Invoice? The Receipt of the Purchase Order will auto create the Posted Sales Shipment, when Drop Shipment is used.
Thanks,
Steve
