Partials

Partials are documents used for making partials (from now on PWR) shipmets from an original Warehouse Receipt (from now on OWR). When doing the first partial do not alter your OWR, this is proof of cargo receipt (for the sample bellow lets say OWR has 20 boxes and 1 pallet containing 100 boxes), copy OWR into PWR-A and PWR-B. Alter PWR-A to reflect the partial shipment you are doing

ex. PWR-A will now have 3 boxes out of 20 boxes and breaking a pallet and taking 30 boxes out of 100 boxes originally on it

And now alter PWR-B to reflect what is still pending after the partial

ex. PWR-B will now have 17 boxes out of 20 boxes and 70 boxes after breaking the pallet (originally 100 boxes) and shipping 30 boxes in PWR-A

Use PWR-A to ship the partial and link it to the export or delivery document, this will close PWR-A and put an export reference; and use PWR-B as your pending cargo to be shipped

From now on to make new partials out of the last PWRs just make a new copy with the next postfix ('-C' .. '-Z') and alter them to reflect the partial and still pending shipments

ex. Copy PWR-B into PWR-C then alter PWR-B to reflect the new partial shipment, PWR-B now will have 10 boxes out of last 17 boxes (originally 20 boxes) and another 20 boxes out of the last 70 boxes from the broken pallet (originally 100 boxes) and then alter PWR-C to reflect what is still pending to be shipped, PWR-C will now have 7 boxes out of the last 17 boxes (originally 20 boxes) and 50 boxes out of the last 70 boxes from the broken pallet (originally 100 boxes)

At any time you may print the Partial History Report (Main Menu / Warehouse section) entering OWR number as the root document to check the status of the partial shipments


Repackings

Repacking Warehouse Receipts (from now on RP-WR) are documents that contains other Warehouse Receipt documents (from now on WR) linked to them. To start a repacking add a new document setting Repacking flag to True. PR-WR numbers always sterts with "RP-" prefix and then any alphanumeric string

ex. RP-WR numbers: RP-123456, RP-C12343 and RP-XXXXXX

Link as many WR documents as necessary to complete the repackaging in the Link Documents section. To create a Loading Guide (from now on LG) document from an RP-WR click the Make Action button in the Link Documents section. This action will add a new LG document or update an existing one

Note: When updating an existing LG from an RP-WR the following actions will take place:

  • Lines will be added with WRs linked to this RP-WR that are not already present in the LG
  • Lines with WRs that are linked to this RP-WR which are in another LG will be changed from those LGs to this LG. Scanned pieces counters will be set to zero
  • Lines that are not anymore linked to this RP-WR will be deleted from this LG and the scanned pieces counters will be lost
