Viewing and shipping VA inventory components (IN)

The raw materials used to fabricate the finished VA product must be shipped to the external vendor for processing, or to your internal processing department. Only inventory components (IN) sections on a VA order can be shipped.

Use these instructions to view a list of existing VA Orders sections that may be eligible to be shipped or unshipped:

  1. Select Value Add > Entry > Shipping.
  2. Conduct a search to locate a record.

    The Stage field pertains to the VA section, not the stage of the VA order. To ship a section, select Open, Printed, or Open to Printed. To unship a section, select Shipped.

  3. To view or change section header and line item details, open the record.
  4. To specify or update addons, select the record and then click Addons.
  5. To change the stage of a record, click Ship/Unship VA Order. Back order creation logic is run if Allow Section Back Order is selected.
  6. After the sections are updated, click Final Update.
    During the final update process, inventory adjustments are made, the general ledger is updated, and the VA section is marked as complete.
