PBI 222273 - Create Periodic Invoices/Credit memos from the route planning worksheet

What

FND functions Create periodic Invoices and Create Periodic Credit Memos have been enhanced when LOG is installed, with

• filter on logistic status
• activate functions from the route planning worksheet

Why

Where routes are delivered and returns registered on the order and then one clean invoice is required with the deliveries and returns on it. Some routes may have been completed (returns registered and posted) and others not. It should be possible to exclude orders (routes) that are not complete yet. Logistics department staff indicates that by the Logistic Status field on the sales order. (eg. ‘Ready for invoicing’).

In some cases the driver hands over the invoice with the delivery note to the customer (cash payments or else). An invoice with the delivery of today and possibly the returns of last week. It should be possible to create invoices route by route.

How

Run the Create periodic Invoices batch job and fill field Logistic Status Filter with the status that expresses that the order is completed (deliveries and return receipts posted; ‘ready for invoicing’)

Open the Route Planning Worksheet, select the route planning line you want to invoice. Click on the ‘Posting action’ Create periodic Invoices resp. Create Periodic Credit memos. Automatically a filter is set on those customers for which an order or return order is assigned to the route planning no. Set additional filters as you want (Invoice Period; Start/end date). Select Invoice period = blank if you want to include open shipments of previous orders (‘returned empties of last week’), assuming customers/orders it concerns (‘cash payment’) were setup with that invoice period. Make sure the Logistic Status filter does not exclude them (better leave it blank for this case).

What

AOWM Pick - Enable docks to be used in Picking Template and Scan Dock at end of Picking

Why

As a warehouse Manager, I want my warehouse employees to be able to confirm the shipment bin or loading dock in the pick, so I am sure to find the picked itams at the correct place.

In a warehouse, picks can be placed on different destinations: shipment bins, docks or immediately in a truck.

Full Picks

Depending on setup per picking template, the employee needs to mandatory scan the destination (Shipment bin, Dock, Vehicle or Shipping Agent) after each registration of picking items.

The scanner will not allow the employee to pick another item or complete, neither close, the pick on the scanner, until the destination is scanned.

Mix Picks

Depending on setup per picking template, the employee needs to mandatory scan the destination (Shipment bin, Dock, Vehicle or Shipping Agent) when putting a mixed pallet on the destination.

The scanner will not allow the employee to complete, neither close, the pick on the scanner, until the destination for each mixed pallet linked to this pick is scanned.

Shipment Loading

When not immediately picked in to a truck, picked LPN’s can be on a dock or shipment bin to be loaded.

The scanner will inform the employee, in a loading list, which LPN’s, where to find to load in to the truck.

Depending on setup per Shipping Agent, the employee needs to mandatory scan the destination (Truck or Agent) when putting a pallet on the destination.

The scanner will not allow the employee to complete, neither close, the shipment loading document on the scanner, until the destination for each pallet linked to this shipment is scanned.
