Quantity to ship - not to be re-filled

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 387

Hi all!

Is there a way to turn off the function that re-fill the column Qty. to ship after posting a shipment?

In this case below we just want to invoice the 10pcs on the first line that is actually shipped. BUT we need to add costs for freight and packing on the same invoice. Those "items" have to be shipped to be invoiced. Then we have to make sure all other lines is emptied before "ship and invoice" which is easy to forget and a big risk.

The best would be that the emptied fields remained emptied until we have posted also the invoice. 

Any ideas?

    Go to Sales & Receivable Setup and select Blank for Default Quantity to Ship.

    Hi, hope the following helps.

    Settings for “Quantity” and “Qty. to Ship” in Sales Order – Default Quantity to Ship and Default Item Quantity

    Thanks for this clarifying link. It is a pity this setting empties both Qty to ship AND Qty to invoice. For our operations it would be natural that what is actuallt shipped would also be invoiced. This way you have to manually fill in the qty two times.
