Allocation from Purchasing/Transfers

Use this option when goods have been received and where some or all items have been pre-allocated to backorders. This option allows you to print the picking slips for the items and pick the orders before the remainder is put away.

You need to run the Allocation from Purchasing/Transfers program to convert the pre-allocations to picking slips and/or invoices.

1. Select SALES | ALLOCATION FROM PURCHASING / TRANSFERS.

Micronet displays the Allocation From Purchasing / Transfers screen.

2. Optionally, select EDIT | ALWAYS PRINT COMPILED SLIPS.

Technical Tip This menu option toggles compiled slips on and off. A tick appears next to the menu option when compiled slips is toggled on. In that case, choosing this menu option removes the tick and toggles compiled slips off.

The effect of this menu option depends on the order's delivery option.

If an order has a standard delivery option (i.e. Compile Rest of Order on the Delivery Options screen is set to No - refer to "Edit Company - Edit - Delivery Options"), a picking slip is printed automatically every time an item is allocated to the order.

If an order has a non-standard delivery option (i.e. Compile Rest of Order on the Delivery Options screen is set to Yes), and this menu option is:

• unticked, Micronet will not print a picking slip until the order has been fully allocated
• ticked, Micronet will force a picking slip to be printed before the order has been fully allocated, overwriting the setting to wait until all items have been allocated.

3. Enter any starting and ending customer numbers or order numbers, as well as how you want Freight calculated and applies to the goods.
4. In the Allocate Complete Orders Only field, select Yes if you only want Micronet to post goods to backorders if the entire order can be filled.

For example, if this field is set to Yes and 10 items are on backorder but you only have 7 items in stock, Micronet will not post the items to that backorder.

5. If you want to print a verification report of the selected postings before printing or posting, select FILE | PRINT REPORT.
6. Select:

• FILE | PRINT INVOICE to create and print invoices for the pre-allocated items
• FILE | PICKING SLIP to create and print picking slips for the pre-allocated items.
