No problem.  We are in the process of converting from 4.05CD to LX and plan to mostly use base order class 15.  It works similar to 4 as far as inventory goes, where the "B" is generated at the 'confirm' process just prior to invoicing (Infor labeled it Pick/Ship Confirm). I don't know if 15 is offered in V6 and probably not a viable solution anyways (we are using it for OLM purposes)...

I ran a quick test on class 5, where you have two confirm steps, i.e., a pick confirm, then a ship confirm.  In my test the "B" was done at the pick confirm, so again, not a viable solution :(.  Unless there is a system or other parameter somewhere where you could have the "B" done at ship confirm for class 5...

Are your shipments with long lags/delays export orders? Just curious...

Good luck Timothy!

Thanks, DeeDee.  We do similar month-end processing.   Our issue is the lag between pick confirm and invoicing, which can take up to a week to complete.

Best regards,

Hi Tim,

We run into the same issue with the timing difference between posting Sales and COGS.  We manage this procedurally, i.e., we have each whse work/clear the BILL660D report (Shipped but Un-invoiced), making sure it is cleared prior to closing each month... 

Occasionally some are missed.  I thought about automating the process at m/e (thru ROBOT RBTSTRLRN command) of billing thru the missed un-billed shipments; then provide the output to billing and the whses to credit and/or adjust the automated billing for the next month...    

Food for thought.
