Sales Shipments List View

Shipments are used to describe the unique delivery of product on a Sales Order, Sales Return, or Inventory Transfer. A Shipment contains one or more Freight Legs and describes the Items that were/are to be delivered by a single Carrier, on a single Date, and most often (but not always) shipped from the same Site. The purpose of this page is to view Sales Order Shipments for un-posted sales transactions. From here users can open sales transactions or jump directly to the Shipment Details, Load details, and/or Export Details. Users can also use the Mass Update to set Load and/or Sales Order Attributes.

(lightbulb) This list view also contains columns for each Attribute that is set up for the 'Sales Order' and 'Logistics' attribute types. Because these are user defined, they are not included in the default view but can be added a saved column layout. Sales Order and Load Management (Logistics) attributes are not included in the help documentation.

Page Header

Toolbar IconsDescription
Column Filter Show/Hide Toggles between displaying and hiding a filter row in the grid under the column headers. The filter row will be displayed by default if the Quick Column Filter is also implemented in the page. When enabled, this will allow users to type in text to filter by a specific column.
Excel Exports the contents of the grid to an Excel file that will automatically download. The contents that export are those that are visible to the user. Therefore, if the user has filtered the view, or excluded columns, only the contents in the grid will be exported. 
Export Details Opens the Export Details Record View to view and enter additional information regarding the shipment container.
Favorites Clicking on the star icon when it is an outline, adds the page to the 'My Shortcuts' tab and fills in the star. Clicking on the star icon when it is filled in (solid color), removes the page from the 'My Shortcuts' tab and returns the icon to an outline. 

(lightbulb) Users must log out and back in before the pages will be visible in the 'My Shortcuts' tab.

Group By Show/Hide Toggles between displaying and hiding a row in the grid above the column headers to enable grouping by one or more column(s). Once displayed, users may drag and drop column headers to group by a specific column. Once the grid is grouped by a column(s), a subtotal footer row will display in the grouping for columns that have a page footer total. 
Help Opens the online WIKI help page for the current page. 
Mass Update

Opens the mass update dialog, which allows to mass update the following properties: 

  • Logistics Attributes: All Logistics attributes configured in the Attributes Master File. Assigns the entered/selected value to selected/filtered transactions when Apply is clicked.
  • Sales Order Attributes: All Sales Order attributes configured in the Attributes Master File. Assigns the entered/selected value to selected/filtered transactions when Apply is clicked.
Print

 Opens the Print dialog window, where transaction and/or analysis reports can be downloaded, printed and/or emailed. 

When clicked, all the Reports that launch from the Print Dialog that are assigned to this page, and that the user has rights to (if Report Data Access is enabled) are displayed.

 Selected transaction(s) that are on Hold with a hold code set to disable printing will display the message "One or more of the selected records cannot be printed.”

(lightbulb) Filtered transaction(s) that are on Hold with a hold code set to disable printing will not print anything, but any filtered records not on hold, or printing is enabled while on hold will print as expected.

Quick Column Filter Used to filter across all columns in the grid. When the user types text into the Quick Column Filter text box, the grid's Filter Row will be automatically hidden. The text in the Quick Column Filter text box automatically replaces any existing Filter Row filters. The results of the data immediately refresh as you enter text.
Saved Layouts Displays the column layout lookup and related icons. This tool allows users to select a previously saved layout, create a new layout, save changes to a layout, forget/delete a layout and/or assign a saved layout as the default for the page. Once changes are made to the layout, such as columns are added or removed, the user can click the Save Layout icon and save the changes to the column layout. The visibility of the Filter Row is also saved with a saved layout. The new layout can also be set as the default. This is useful for creating specific views to separate master files or transaction types (i.e. Invoice specific vs. Credit Memo specific).  Default layouts can be removed by clicking the 'Set as Default' button again when the current default layout is selected.  

Please note that existing saved grid layouts will display the Filter Row as hidden by default.
