Proposal Summary
Flowco would like to have enhancement on the existing Packing Slip.
Requirement
Flowco is having the following mentioned issues
• The Backorder column doesn’t populate correctly on the Packing Slip until order is fulfilled. The calculation of the backorder column is customized on the PDF/HTML coding – Waterworks New Packing Slip PDF/HTML Template CUSTTMPL_4771963_5
• Orders currently go directly to the ‘Shipped’ stage so that the packing slip prints correctly, disallowing adding shipping details against the order record. We want them to go to Picked, Packed & Shipped separately.
• Item Fulfilment currently occurs once an order is at the ‘Shipped’ stage. We are told that it is standard NetSuite functionality for our subscription license that an order is only able to be fulfilled once the order is marked as ‘Shipped’.
• The Default Item Fulfilment Stage field to adjust to ‘Packed’ is not available on our NetSuite subscription license. Is it possible to get this?
And Flowco suggested some options to achieve this issue
1. Have Item Fulfilment occur and Packing Slip print when the order is at the ‘Packed’ stage. or
2. Create a New Packing Slip with backorder column calculating from ‘Quantity Ordered’ less ‘Quantity Supplied’.
And Flowco needs some additional updates in Packing Slip, that is, Item lines which are closed should be removed from packing slip.
Our Solution
We can achieve this solution by updating the existing Packing Slip. We will use a new formula for calculating Backordered Items.
So thereby we can take print from the ‘Packed’ stage with exact backorder quantities.
Also we will consider removing the closed lines from the Packing Slip.
Risks
We will only update the backorder calculation and the closed line scenario. There will no changes in the layout of the existing Packing Slip
