Sales Entry Bill of Lading Report overview

A Counter Sale (CS) and Stock Order (SO) may contain Line DOs. The bill of lading excludes Line DOs when it is printed because the lines are shipped directly from your vendor to your customer. If all lines on an order are Line DOs, the order is skipped.

You can reprint bills of lading as necessary. Bills of lading can be printed in standard or custom format. The standard format is the default format specified in SA Administrator Options-Documents-Sales Orders-Printing. If you are using a third-party form-printing solution, corresponding custom code must be specified to run the report properly.

• You can print the heading on the bill of lading or suppress printing it. The document type is printed on the upper-left corner so you can readily identify the document.
• Bills of lading can use the shipto address specified on the Sales Order Entry header as the delivery site.
• The warehouse associated with the order will be printed as the ship point and as the shipper. If an alternate warehouse is used to pick the order, the originating warehouse will still be used for Ship Point and Shipper fields. The Carrier field comes from the Ship description from the sales order header. An area is provided for the delivery person to manually record the car or vehicle number used to deliver the order.
• The bill of lading includes the weight of each product, as specified in the Product Setup record. Note that the actual weight of the shipment may differ, due, for example, to packaging materials. The actual weight is determined in the Shipping Interface and is stored on the sales order header. The freight charges, calculated from of the actual weight, are used to bill the customer.
• If the order is a COD order, the amount from Sales Order Entry-Tendering shows on the bill of lading. This does not include any COD addons.
• The number of packages and package ID from Sales Shipping Feedback Entry is included on the bill of lading.
• When return lines are involved, they print on the bill of lading with a negative quantity for purely information purposes. The weight and cube are not included in the totals.
• External stand-alone comments print directly below the product number according to their line and sequence numbers. Subtotal lines do not print on a bill of lading.
• When you are processing scrap returns, SCRAP RETURN/CREDIT prints in the detail area indicating that the line is a scrap return.

Information will print in the language code indicated on the Customer Setup record, if one is available. If the Language Code field is blank, domestic language will be used. The language code of the order defaults from the customer.
