Shipping fabrication components

The raw materials required to fabricate the finished Value Add product must be shipped to either your internal processing department or the external service vendor. A purchase order can be created from VA Entry Processing Pick Ticket Report or VA Shipping Entry for the external service vendor. A single PO line item is created for each external process section line. Also, a line item is created that represents the finished or intermediate product, in the case of multiple processing steps. This line item has no cost assigned. Only the quantity is shown for the line item.

  1. Select Value Add > Entry > Shipping.
  2. Specify the Value Add Order # and, optionally, the Stage click Search.
    Note: The Stage field applies to the VA section, not the stage of the VA order.
  3. Drill down on the VA order in the grid to view details.
  4. On the Line Items view, select any line to make changes. You can also make changes to fields for any line directly in the grid, such as selecting the Hazardous option or to change the Quantity Shipped.
  5. On the Line Items view, you can also select a line and choose one of these options:
    • Ship/Unship

      Select a line for an IN section to change the section stage to Shipped (if stage is currently Opened or Printed) or Printed (if stage is currently Shipped). Back orders are created if the Allow Section Back Order option is selected.

    • Addons

      Select a line and click Addons to enter or update addons specific to the section.

    • Delete

      Select a line and click Delete to delete the section.

  6. When you are done making changes, return to the main Value Add Shipping Entry grid.
  7. Select the Value Add order and click Final Update.
  8. Specify this information on the Value Add Section Completion window:
    Posting Date

    The current date is the default value. Change this date if necessary.

    Posting Period

    The current posting period is the default value. Change this period if necessary.

    Create Stock Adjustments?

    Select this option to create internal ICET records for adjustments to stock quantities as part of a section's completion.

    Note: If you do not select this option, and Quantity On Hand is less than the Stock Quantity Shipped and the Stock Quantity Shipped is not zero, this error is displayed during the update: This will make Qty On Hand Negative in Shipping Whse-Do Stock Adjustment (6301). You must either receive additional VA component quantity for the product or select the Create Stock Adjustments for the product quantity to be adjusted automatically. You should select this option only if you know there is adequate quantity on hand.
  9. Click Update. Inventory adjustments are made, the GL is updated, and the VA section is marked as complete.
