Automatic Distribution of line item during Shipment

By | February 5, 2009

We have developed a customization for one of our clients to automate the distribution (assignment) of serial numbers during shipment process without bring any user interface and on just a click of a button.

Their business problem was they dealt with Serialized inventory with huge transaction quantities, so while doing shipments in MAS 500 the shipper had to distribute (assign) the serial number or lot number manually. So when there are too many lines and large number of quantity the task used to become very tiring and time-consuming resulting into lower productivity.

As a solution to this we did the customization where we added a button labeled “Auto Distribute” that would automatically distribute (assign) the serial numbers and lot numbers to items on shipment, where the process would fetches the serial number according to the first in first out basis.

Below screenshot shows the Custom Button.

On ‘Edit Shipment’ screen we have added the ‘Auto Distribute’ Button. Clicking on this button the process will automatically distributes (Assigned) the serial number or lot number according to first in first out basis. User can view the distribution of particular line item by clicking on the standard ‘Dist…’ button on the screen.

Below is a screenshot showing the line distribution.
