Introduction: Quick Ship (02-08-03)

Overview

This selection is an alternative to the Standard/Long Method of Shipping and is used to “quickly” ship an order. Tyler’s Standard/Long Method requires you to run three or more selections to move an order from a status of ‘0-Open’ to a status of ‘5-Ready for Update.’ Quick Ship is an abbreviated, yet complete shipping process that moves an order from a status of ‘0’ to a status of ‘5’ in one step.

With Quick Ship you can:

• ship and backorder lines on a transaction
• enter the payment information for the order
• schedule the next delivery date for backordered items
• change the status of an order (Unconfirm)

Special Notes

• If the ‘Automatic Update Of Shipped Orders’ preference is set to Y in Order Preferences (02-08-90-01), when an order is shipped through this selection, the order is automatically updated and the status changes from a ‘0’ to an ‘X’. If this preference is set to N, the status changes from a ‘0’ to a ‘5’ when the order is shipped through this selection.
• The preference ‘Allow Shipping Only If 100% Filled Order?’ preference in Order Preferences does not apply to orders shipped through this selection. It only applies to orders shipped using the Standard/Long Method of Shipping.
• If the preference ‘Allow Shipping With Balance Due?’ preference is set to Y in Order Preferences, you can ship an order that has not been paid in full. The system will not require entry of any tender amounts and a balance due will be created in Accounts Receivable.
•  The Quick Ship invoice (Form 5 and Form I only) includes two fields that are not printed on the Order Maintenance invoice (02-08-02). The Deposit Appl field is used to show how the deposit received is applied to each shipment of the order (for partial shipments). The Deposit Left field is the amount of the deposit received that has not yet been applied to the order.
• You can also run Quick Ship from the Point of Sale screen (02-02) by selecting ‘DZ’ as the Transaction Type.
