An Inventory Control’s Shipment form will serve the purpose for shipping items from inventory and for returning items fromcustomers in Sage 300 ERP.
If suppose your company has a very simple Sales Process means where there are no Quotations, Sales Order and Delivery Challan but only movement of goods and invoicing. Then in that case without having OE (Sales) Module of Sage 300 ERP you can make the material shipment entry by using Inventory Module of Sage itself, and invoicing and receipt will be done by A/R (Accounts Receivable) module of Sage. This will save the license cost.
Use this form for the following:
• Enter and post new shipment of items.
• Enter sales returns against the shipment or delivery of items.
• Assign serial and/or lot numbers if you have the Serialized Inventory and Lot Tracking license installed.
