This screen allows you to enter selection criteria used to display transfer order releases for consolidation onto one bill of lading.
There are two different consolidation options depending on the way you want to group orders onto a bill of lading:
o Consolidation by Receiving Company/Warehouse. This option allows you to group orders with the same receiving company/warehouse onto one bill of lading. If you use this method, the list displayed by the system will only contain transfer orders and their releases for the specified receiving company/ warehouse.
o Consolidation by Carrier Code. This option allows you to group orders with the same carrier code onto one bill of lading. If you use this method, the list displayed by the system will contain transfer orders along with their releases for the specified carrier. Any order releases that are selected on the detail screen will be consolidated onto one bill of lading, regardless of the orders' customer or company/warehouse destinations.
To qualify for consolidation transfer orders must meet the following criteria:
o The order must have at least one shipped line.
o The BOL flag on the order header must be Y (Yes - defer BOL generation and allow collective generation of a single BOL at a later time).
o The BOL workfiles must not have been cleared.
SOURCING COMPANY/WAREHOUSE
Required. This field identifies a valid company/warehouse combination in this field to be used as selection criteria for BOL Consolidation. The value entered must be a valid company/warehouse on the Warehouse Description File. If a valid company/warehouse is entered, only those releases which were shipped from this company/warehouse will be eligible for Bill of Lading consolidation.
RECEIVING COMPANY/WAREHOUSE
Optional. This field can only be entered if the Carrier Number field is not entered. A valid company/warehouse combination can be entered as selection criteria for BOL Consolidation. The value entered must be a valid company/warehouse on the Warehouse Description File. If a valid company/warehouse is entered, only those orders that were scheduled to be received at this company/warehouse will be eligible for consolidation.
CARRIER CODE
Optional. This field can only be entered if the Receiving Company/Warehouse field is not entered. A valid carrier code can be used as selection criteria for BOL Consolidation. The value entered must be a valid carrier code on the Carrier Master File (CF160M). If a valid carrier code is entered, only the orders shipped by this carrier will be eligible for consolidation.
SHIP REASON CODE
Required. Used to specify the reason code as selection criteria for consolidating BOL's. This code must be valid on Reference File category M11. If a valid value is entered for the ship reason code, the only orders that will be listed as eligible for BOL consolidation are those that have the same value. If this field is left blank, it will default from Reference File category D05.
SHIP DATE
Optional. This field can be used to specify the shipping date to be used as selection criteria for consolidating BOLs. If a valid ship date is entered, all orders that were shipped on that date will be considered for BOL consolidation. If blanks, orders will be considered regardless of their shipping dates.
SHIP VIA CODE
Optional. This field may only be entered if you are grouping transfer orders by Carrier. This field determines the shipping instructions that will be printed on shipping documents. Valid shipping instruction codes are defined on Reference File category 227.
CARRIER CODE
Optional. This field indicates the carrier responsible for transporting the items listed on the consolidated Bill of Lading that is generated by this conversation. Therefore, if you select multiple orders (each with a different carrier), this field can be used to override those carrier codes and determine the carrier for this BOL. If entered, this field will print on BOL paperwork.
If you are grouping transfer orders based on the Receiving Company/Warehouse, the default value for this field is blanks.
If you are consolidating by Carrier Code, this field cannot be entered because the carrier for the BOL is determined by the carrier used to consolidate the transfer orders.
BOL RELEASE CODE
Required. This field indicates when the consolidated BOL will be generated. Valid BOL release codes are maintained on Reference File category G63. Valid values are:
I - Release immediately
N - Wait for End-of-day processing
This field defaults from Reference File category 029.
COMMAND KEYS
Enter - Process request.
F2 - Display a window where a fast path option or mnemonic can be entered. Fast path allows the next menu selection to be made directly from this screen. When the window is displayed, pressing F3-Exit will remove it.
F3 - Exit program without processing the entered data.
F4 - Display a list of values for the field where the cursor is positioned. If you select one of the items from the list, it will be returned to the application screen.
F15 - Clear the most recently entered field values so they can be reentered.
