Job editor

Orders are placed in shippingNET for many business functions. In the Warehouse Module they are used for incoming or outgoing goods orders (vendor orders), in the Dispatch MRP for planning appointments and as a basis for consignment creation.

Note

The order type defines a category and a direction of goods flow. The category can be sales, purchasing, or production. The flow direction can be inbound or outbound. You can unlock additional job types in the System Configuration.

Create order

You can create orders in the order editor. The order editor, like each editor, is divided into several index cards and sections to form thematic focal points. In addition to the entry of the general basic information that can be found on the General Map, further information on the order items, additional information and resources can be entered. The Shipment List, Delivered Items and Status cards are used to track processes (or provide an additional overview of the current status of the order).
