The Shipping Workbench allows you to perform many of the frequent tasks associated with shipping items to customers.  These tasks include:

o  Requesting picker documents

o  Consolidating bills of lading

o  Adding and removing order shipments from bills of lading

o  Entering inventory exceptions, such as quantity, price, or location changes

o  Confirming many order shipments at once

o  Mass billing customers during shipment confirmation or deferring billing until a later time

o  Requesting bills of lading to be printed before or after picking confirmation

o  Requesting shipping paperwork such as packing lists and labels

Some tasks, such as confirming shipments, billing customers, and printing BOLs and paperwork, can be performed in conjunction with one another or separately.

The Shipping Workbench also allows you to view detailed information for each order shipment displayed and to modify shipping-related information, including:

o  BOL header information

o  Direct distribution information

o  Paperwork print settings

o  EDI transaction settings

o  Hold code settings

To generate picker documents, on the Shipping Workbench Prompt screen, press F9 - Picker Selection to access the Picker Document Release Select screen.

To display order shipments for processing, on the Shipping Workbench Prompt screen, enter a ship date and one of the following selection criteria:

o  Load number

o  Ship-to customer

o  Bill-to customer

o  Order number

o  Order shipment number

o  Bill of lading number

o  Picker batch number

After pressing Enter, the Shipping Workbench Select screen is displayed.  If more than one selection criteria field is entered, an error message is displayed.

To create a consolidated bill of lading, select the shipments by entering an X in the Action Code field, press F8 - BOL Create and enter the appropriate information on the BOL Edit screen.

To add order shipments to an existing consolidated bill of lading, press F20 - Add Shipment and select a shipment.  To remove an order shipment from a bill of lading, enter an R in the Action Code field and press Enter.  You can edit the bill of lading information by pressing F8 - BOL Edit after adding or removing shipments from the BOL.  The bill of lading information will not be automatically updated.  Note:  You can only add shipments or edit a bill of lading if a bill of lading number was entered on the Prompt screen.

To enter inventory exceptions for an order shipment, enter IE in the Action Code field, press Enter, and enter the appropriate information using the Open Order Shipping Exceptions conversation.

You can modify BOL header information, direct distribution information, paperwork print settings, and EDI transaction settings by entering the appropriate code in the Action Code field and pressing Enter.  To view all valid action codes, press F4 - Prompt.

To view detailed picker line information for an order shipment, enter DT in the Action Code field and press Enter.

To process order shipments, enter an X on the requested order shipment from the Select screen or press F21 - Select All and then press F22 - End Transaction.  Choose any combination of the End Transaction options - Print BOL, Confirm Shipments, Bill Shipments, and Print Paperwork - and then press Enter.
