The Shipping Order feature of TabWare is designed so that the person requesting the shipment fills out the first several tabs of the Shipping Order Notebook. Then, depending on the procedures of your plant, it is electronically forwarded to other parties for the inclusion of additional information or for approval. In order for the shipment to be authorized to leave the plant, someone who has been designated as an approver for shipping orders must approve each order. The Shipment tab is usually completed by the warehouse at the actual time of shipping. To facilitate the movement of shipping orders to the various departments or individuals, TabWare provides the Forward To window.
The Forward To window can be accessed from any tab in the Shipping Order Notebook or from the Shipping Order Search window by clicking the Actions button and selecting Forward.
If a job function is defined in Setup as the Default Shipping Order Job Function, that job function displays in this window. Click the dropdown arrow in the Job Function field to select a different job function to which the shipping order should be forwarded, or enter an Employee. Click the search icon to display a search window to aid you in entering an employee name. Click OK to forward the shipping order.
Note: A job function or an employee must be designated as an approver in order to be able to approve shipping orders. The Job Function must be designated in Inventory Setup and the employee must be designated in the Employee Responsibilities section of Resources.
If the Messaging feature is in use, the person or job function to whom the shipping order is forwarded receives a message saying that a shipping order has been forwarded to them.
