PBI 237405 Payment journals filtered by customer

What

When I open one of the payment journals from the route planning request, I only want to see the lines added from the customer linked to the route planning request I pushed the action (create Cash Payment journal, Card payment journal or Other payment Journal). When the journals are opened from the route planning, all created lines should be visible, no filtering on customer no. should be in place only the filtering on route planning no.

Why

As a A/R employee I want to have as quick as possible the overview on the payments received on an order from the route planning worksheet.

PBI 220816 - Automatic shipment date based on cut-off no. of days (LOG)

What

Automatic shipment date based on source routes and cut-off time.

Why

Companies require that orders are created and released with a proper shipment date, in line with

  • (limited) source routes (eg customer only gets delivered on tuesdays)
  • a cut-off time for the route (orders created/released too late should get the next valid shipment date)

How

Setup Routes

  1. Choose the Search icon , enter Routes and then choose the related link.
  2. Fill fields Cut-off no. of days and Cut-off Time in case this should steer the shipment date in an order.

Setup Customers

  1. Choose the Search icon , enter Customers and then choose the related link.
  2. Select a Customer and open the card page.
  3. Select the Default Route field on fastTab Logistics, Drill down on the Assist-Edit button of this field to open the Source Routes for the customer.

A record was automatically created for the default route.

  • The field Shipment Day may have been filled when set on the route, else select a day in the week if the customer may only be delivered on that day.
  • Multiple lines can be created for the same route with another shipment day (eg. customer gets delivered on Tuesdays and Fridays).
  • Leave the shipment day blank when the customer can get delivered every day in the week on a route.
  • The field Cut-off No. of Days is filled from the route when set, else you can fill it yourself (eg. for export customers where the shipment date should be 15 days after order date, set it to 15D).

Logistics Setup

  1. Choose the Search icon , enter Logistics Setup and then choose the related link.
  2. Fill a dateformula in field Shipment Dates Calculation. The function on the Customer Shipment Dates, Create Shipment Dates will calculate shipment dates from the workdate until this end date.

Create Shipment Dates

  1. Choose the Search icon , enter Customer Shipment Dates and then choose the related link.
  2. Click on action Create Shipment Dates (this action may have been triggered automatically when you closed the source routes page). Starting and Ending date are defaulted.
  3. Click OK.

Process

  1. Choose the Search icon , enter Sales Order and then choose the related link.
  2. Create a new Sales order, select a customer. Field Route is filled by default from the customer and field Shipment date is filled with the first allowed (before cut-off) date.
  3. Drill down on the Assist-Edit button of the Shipment Date field to select a next for the customer possible shipment date from the customer shipment dates.
  4. Or use functions Next Shipment Date and Previous Shipment Date from the action Functions > Logistics to scroll through the allowed shipment dates.
  5. Still the user can select a shipment date manually. In case that has a conflict, the cut-off warning will enable you to select the next (allowed) shipment date as well.
Note

In the Route Planning Worksheet, the same functionality is available.

Note

When you the field Route Limit is enabled on the Customer card (fastTab Logistics), the fields route and shipment date are not editable in the sales order, and you can only select by the assist-edit button on each field and by the Next Shipment Date resp. Previous Shipment Date functions to influence the shipment date on the sales Order.

Note

  • Reschedule Action, select the option Reschedule or Cancel.
  • Reschedule Bin Code: (it will register an internal movement from shipment bin to this bin)
