Improved VA Shipping Entry prompts for short-shipped order sections

VA Shipping Entry functionality has been improved to ensure that you are notified when a Value Add (VA) order section is short-shipped. Additionally, a new administrator option setting can be set to prevent short-shipping VA orders. In SA Administrator Options-Documents-Value Add-Entry Settings, the Auto Create Section BO in Shipping field is renamed to Default Action for Short Shipped Sections. You can select one of these options from the field:

  • Auto Create Back Order
  • Always Prompt
  • Do Not Allow

The Do Not Allow option is new. Select it when you want to always prevent short-shipping VA orders.

When the Always Prompt option is selected, a warning is displayed in VA Shipping Entry when you specify a shipped quantity that is less than the ordered quantity. You can choose to cancel the action, proceed with the short-ship order, or create a back order. The option to create a back order is available when you select the Allow Section Back Order option in VA Shipping Entry.

Note: Use caution when proceeding with a short-shipped order in VA Shipping Entry. You will receive an error during VA Receipt of Inventory Entry and must reduce the quantity received to match the actual amount shipped.
