Cross-Referencing Blanket Releases and Order Shipping

This topic describes how the quantity to ship value on the Order Shipping form changes based on how a blanket line release is cross-referenced.

Cross References to a Job Order

If a blanket line/release is cross-referenced to a job when you complete, post, and move a quantity from the job to inventory, the following occurs:

The system uses the Job Quantity Moved to update the Ready Quantity in Order Shipping for the cross-referenced line/release. The system uses the quantity moved to inventory on the job as the default quantity to ship on the Order Shipping form.
If the line/release status is currently Planned, the system changes the status to Ordered.

Note: If a line/release is a planning item, you cannot update the Config String for any line/releases that have a cross reference.

If a line/release is cross-referenced to a PO, the following occurs when the PO is received:

The system uses the Received value of the corresponding purchase order (PO) line/release to update the CO Quantity Ready for the cross-referenced CO line/release. The system uses the Quantity Ready of the PO line/release as the quantity to be shipped on the Order Shipping form. Returns against the cross-reference reverse these figures.
If the line/release status is currently Planned, the system changes the status to Ordered.
