Deferments by DO
This screen is used to partly defer the shipment of an unpacked DO, then to reintegrate it.
This function is useful when the DO shipment must be performed in several phases, either because the final customer wants to split their delivery, or because the available space in the truck does not enable the whole DO to be loaded.
Within the framework of an "inter-site" shipment, it is possible to defer the goods of a DO soon to be transferred as long as the "inter-site" round to which it has been assigned has not been shipped. In other words, the goods cannot be deferred if they are "pending transfer".
The shipment deferment of a packed DO is performed by means of the Shipmenrt deferment function by parcel.
Unlike the Shipment Cancellation function, deferment means that the shipment is only postponed to a later date, and not totally deleted.
Prerequisite
Refer to documentation Implementation
Screen management
The DO is selected, then the quantity to be deferred is specified for each DO line.
Entry screen
Presentation
For each DO line, the following information is displayed:
Preparedquantity: prepared CU quantity, validated upon PO validation.
Shippedquantity: previously shipped CU quantity.
Deletedquantity: CU quantity deleted by the DO Cancellation function
Deferred quantity: CU quantity to be reintegrated or deferred. The entered quantity must be smaller than the quantity to be shipped. Corresponds to the quantity to be shipped minus the quantity "pending transfer".
When part of the DO line has been deferred, it is necessary to reintegrate it upon its shipment.
The "Deferred" column indicates the deferred quantity for each line if it is entered, or it enables the quantity to be deferred to be entered.
Quantity to be shipped: quantity to be shipped during the next shipment. The field is updated based on the entry of the quantity to be deferred.
The deferred quantity or quantity to be reintegrated remains modifiable at any time as long as the DO has not been shipped.
Quantity pending transfer:quantity in CUs of a DO "pending transfer", in other words, a DO shipped to another site. These goods cannot be deferred as long as they are "pending transfer". If the partial deferment of a DO has been performed before shipment confirmation of the "inter-site" round, said partial deferment cannot be removed as long as the DO is "pending transfer".

Step 1: Enter the quantities to be deferred on the lines to be deferred
Step 2: validate the action using the "Save" button.
Only those lines with a normal or Kit nature can be entered.When entering a kit, the component lines attached to it are selected by default.
Process: The output movements are then updated and split in case of partial line deferment. The status of the deferred movements moves to status 7- Deferred upon shipment.
A print-out is automatically generated to indicate the deferred DO lines and quantities.
The DO can then be shipped and the movements taken into account in the shipment will be the movements that are not deferred.
ReintégrationStep 1: Enter the quantity to be reintegrated to ship it
Step 2: validate the action using the "Save" button.
