The Assume Shipment window appears after you open a document in Order Confirmation. If multiple warehouses exist on the order, you must select the warehouse or warehouses to confirm before you can select a confirmation method.
Y-Assume shipment of all committed quantities. This option sets all committed quantities to shipped. This is the default option and the most likely choice if the order was completely filled or almost completely filled.
For instance, say you receive a pick ticket with 15 items listed, but one of the items could not be picked. You can select the Assume shipment option to auto confirm and then change the one line item to backordered.
Ü If the program asks How should the committed quantity for this line be handled? It means:
Enter B to backorder the committed quantity or C to leave the quantity committed. The program defaults to backorder.
This prompt only appears if you select the Y- assume shipment of all committed quantities and the Commit in Confirmation flag in the SO Static Control F/M is selected (or set to Y).
N - do not assume shipment of all committed quantities, instead backorder all committed quantities. This may be helpful for orders that may not be able to ship the same day the customer ordered the items.
Ü Backordered quantities must be committed through the Commit Backordered Quantities program.
B - confirm shipment of committed quantities line by line. Use this option for orders that have a mixed bag of items that can ship or that need to be backordered, you may want to confirm line by line to ensure accuracy.
A dialog box asks "Confirm Shipment for this line?" for each line on the document. Choose one of the following options:
Y - Ship committed quantity for this line.
This option is only available if shipment of this line is allowed.
N - Do not ship the committed quantity, backorder this line.
This option is only available if backorders are allowed.
C - Do not ship, leave quantity committed for this line.
This option is only available if commitment in confirmation is allowed.
S - Ship the committed quantity for this and all remaining lines.
This option is only available if shipment of this line is allowed.
B - Backorder committed quantity for this and all remaining lines.
This option is only available if backorders are allowed.
L - Leave this line and remaining lines committed.
This option is only available if commitment in confirmation is allowed.
In some cases, only one of these options is available in a confirm-line-by-line situation. If so, a message appears to this effect.
If none of these options are allowed (i.e., cannot ship this line, cannot leave quantity committed and cannot backorder) the system forces the quantity to remain committed regardless of how the Commit in Confirmation flag is set.
C - do not assume shipment, leave all lines committed. This option only appears if the Commit in Confirmation flag is selected or set to Y in the SO Static Control F/M.
Use this option to set the shipped, committed and backordered quantities manually by editing each line on the main Order Confirmation screen. With this option, the system assumes nothing. You enter all quantities for each line.
