Do you know what DAC SOShipLineSplit is for and what triggers its population (UOM issue)?
I am trying to understand the difference between shipline and shiplinesplit.
As an example:
- Product XX has a base unit of EA and Sales Unit of BOX (5 EA in a BOX). Units are marked as divisible. PO is EA (so we can’t change the base unit)
- We raise a SO for XX: Quantity: 1 BOX
- Shipping transaction shows XX. Quantity 1 BOX ,the sales unit.
- On the Picklist form (report) the UOM is set as “=IsNull([SOShipLineSplit.UOM],[SOShipLine.UOM])”. [I think this is standard]
The picklist shows XX with Qty 5 EA to pick (not 1 BOX)
(as Shipline.UOM = BOX but ShipLineSplit.UOM = EA)
While this is the correct number of base units, we want the picker to send out an unopened box, not 5 individual products and we get mistakes when a shipper (manual picking) sends out 5 Boxes!
Questions
- We did not and don’t expect to ship less than a box (so never 3 EA) so why is ShipLineSplit populated?
- Can I safely update the report to show just ShipLine.UOM? In what scenarios would this be wrong?
