I am trying to decifer how to use the 945...order shippment detail. A
warehouse will send us the 945 transaction when they ship product to
customers. I'd like to create generic integration programs so adding
additional warehouses won't require extra programming. My questions are:
1) When sending item detail do you send information for lines that are
not shipped at all (out of stock condition) so you can properly close out an
invoice? Is this a common practice...example:
W12*CC*100*0*100*CA....
2) This next question involves the order quantities being sent on the
W12. What is the normal way of sending information when items with multiple
lot numbers are sent? Is the quantity ordered (W1203) the same for each
line item..like:--A--
W12*CC*100*50*50*CA**VN*12345*100001
LX*2
W12*CC*100*25*25*CA**VN*12345*100002
or, do you split it out like: --B--
W12*CC*50*50*0*CA**VN*12345*100001
LX*2
W12*CC*50*25*25*CA**VN*12345*100002
...I would think you would use --A-- especially if the same item is listed
twice on an order, you wouldn't know which line item to credit.
3) Speaking of line numbers. How do you know what line to credit in your
system when receiving the warehouse shippment information? Do people
regularly use the REF segment to designate which line item of the order is
being shipped?
4) Do people sort the item numbers so like items are together with
multiple lot numbers?
Most of my questions relate to the usage of lot numbers and multiple items.
If you are familiar with this scenario, please share your ideas and possibly
a source to refer to when trying to understand the transaction flow.
Thanks for you assistance.
