Description

Micronet displays the batch description entered when the batch was created.

Allow Partial Allocation

Select Yes if you want to allow partial allocations of items to customer backorders, or No if you don't. If you select Yes, Micronet will allocate items even if the customer order can't be completely fulfilled, e.g. they have 10 items on backorder but you only have 7 available to ship.

Keep Minimum Stock

Select Yes if you want Micronet to maintain the minimum stock level on the shelf before allocating free stock to customer backorders. Select No if backorder allocations override minimum stock levels.

Allocate to Held Customer

Select No if you only want backorders allocated to customers whose accounts are not on hold. Select Yes if you want Micronet to allocate backorders for all customers, including those with an On Hold flag.

Look at Purchase Orders

Select Yes if you want Micronet to consider items on purchase orders that are due in from your suppliers, or No to ignore purchase orders. If you select Yes, Micronet checks the anticipated delivery dates and matches these to backorders that could potentially be delivered if those items came in on time.

Freight

Select an option for how you want freight calculated and applied to the goods. Options are:

• Backorder Freight – Micronet applies the freight amount entered on the invoice or backorder
• Flat Freight Amount – when the batch is printed or posted, Micronet displays the Enter Freight screen, prompting you to enter a flat freight amount for the entire batch

• Ask for Each Invoice – when invoices are printed for the batch, Micronet displays the Enter Freight screen (as shown above), prompting you to enter a freight amount for each invoice
• Use Freight Table – when the batch is printed or posted, Micronet displays the Enter Freight Number screen, prompting you to enter a freight table for each invoice. You can also press Tab or Enter to select a freight table.

Enter Starting / Ending Customer Number

To allocate items for a single customer, enter the customer number in both fields.

Enter Starting / Ending Item Number

If you want to limit allocations to a particular item number range, enter the starting and item numbers. You can also press spacebar then Enter to select items. Leave these fields blank to include all item numbers.

Enter Starting / Ending Delivery Date

Enter or select the starting and ending delivery due dates for the backorders you want to include in this batch. Leave these fields blank to include all delivery dates.

If you selected Yes in the Look at Purchase Orders field, Micronet uses these dates to limit the purchase orders it considers.

How to Break Slips

Select how you want picking slips grouped for printing. The options are:

• No Break – don't group picking slips
• By Date – group picking slips per date, e.g. if one customer has two delivery dates, two slips would be created
• By Customer – print picking slips per customer.

Backorder Exchange Rates

Copy Backorder Text

Select Yes if you want Micronet to print any text entered onto your orders at order entry time to any subsequent customer invoices allocated in this batch. Otherwise, select No.

Enter the warehouse you want items allocated to. You can also press spacebar then Enter to select a warehouse. The goods will only be allocated to backorders for that warehouse.
