I/C Shipments Screen

This field displays the category code assigned to the item number you selected. You can specify a different category code if you want to change the category.

Enter comments you want to appear on the Shipments Posting Journal for the detail line, using up to 250 characters.

When shipping items that use the user-specified costing method, enter the unit cost or the extended cost. (You cannot enter costs when shipping items that do not use user-specified costing.)

For all sales returns, this field automatically displays the item's most recent cost, but you can change it.

If you enter the extended cost or change it, the program calculates the unit cost. The program recalculates the extended cost if you enter or change the unit cost.

If you use multicurrency accounting, enter costs in your functional (home) currency.

Inventory Control calculates the extended price by multiplying the unit price by the quantity being shipped or returned, but you can enter another amount, if needed.

If you enter a new extended price, the program recalculates the unit price for the detail line.

If you use multicurrency accounting, enter prices in the currency you selected for the transaction.

Displays the description of the item, as entered on the I/C Items screen.

Use this field to specify the item number.

You can enter a manufacturer's item number that was associated with an item (using the I/C Manufacturers' Items screen). The program substitutes the inventory item number, and places the manufacturer's item number that you entered in the Manufacturer's Item Number column in the table.

Line numbers show the order in which each detail line is added to a transaction. They are assigned in sequence by Inventory Control and you cannot change them.

To insert a detail line ahead of an existing line, select the previous line and click Add Line.

To delete a line, select the check box at the beginning of the line and click Delete Line.

Specify the code of the inventory location from which you are shipping (or to which you are returning) the units.

Locations in Inventory Control are either physical locations or logical locations.

You can ship goods only from a physical location.

If you entered a manufacturer's item number in the Item Number column, the program substitutes the inventory item number, and moves the manufacturer's item number to the Manufacturer's Item Number column in the table.

The manufacturer's item number must already be associated with an item (using the I/C Manufacturers' Items screen).

This column displays:

• No when this transaction detail does not include optional field information.
• Yes when there is optional field information for a transaction detail

If optional fields are set up for transaction details, you can add or change optional fields by clicking in this column and then clicking to open the Optional Fields screen. An optional field can be set up to automatically contain information; if that optional field is associated with transaction details, this column automatically displays Yes.

Note: Optional field information can pass to the General Ledger only if the optional fields are also assigned to the general ledger accounts.

If necessary, specify a price list code for the detail line.

Inventory Control automatically displays the price list code, if any, you selected in the shipment header.

In multicurrency ledgers, if the price list you specify uses the currency you selected for the transaction, Inventory Control automatically displays the unit price for the item.

Enter the number of units being shipped or returned on each detail line, expressed in the unit of measure selected for the detail line.

You can ship more units than are in stock if you selected the Allow Negative Inventory Levels option on the I/C Options screen.

When shipping items that use the user-specified costing method, enter the unit cost or the extended cost. You cannot enter costs when shipping items that do not use user-specified costing.

For all sales returns, the program automatically displays the item's most recent cost, which you can type over if you want to change it.

If you enter the unit cost or change it, the program calculates the extended cost. If you enter the extended cost or change it, the program calculates the unit cost.

If you use multicurrency accounting, enter costs in your functional (home) currency.

Specify the unit of measure for the quantity of items being shipped or returned. You can select only a unit of measure that is assigned to the item on the I/C Items screen.

Inventory Control automatically displays the stocking unit for the items being shipped or returned.

If necessary, change the displayed price.

The program automatically displays prices when you enter the item number, unless the item is not on the price list selected for the detail line.

If you enter or change a unit price, the program calculates the extended price. If you enter or change an extended price, the program calculates the unit price.

If you use multicurrency accounting, enter prices in the currency selected for the shipment (by default the customer’s currency). The program will not display item prices unless the price list you specify lists prices in the currency specified in the Currency field.
