Form Options

The section below describes the button options which you can see around the pre-advice page:

LOAD SO

If your inbound goods are a Transfer, this will open the linked Sales Order for the inbound transfer.

RESET LAYOUT

If you adjust the columns on the details pages, that is usually saved for future use. However, if you want to reset this to the default click the RESET LAYOUT function.

Put Away Note

Produces the Put Away Note, usually printed after the goods have been offloaded, checked and updated on the WMS.

Expand
titleClick Here To Know More...

In the Order Item Details tab, while creating or updating a pre-advice entry, you can change the Year(Vintage), which is different from the product record so that these are then consistent with the other goods in notes. If product P has set the ‘Year' field value to NV, you can change this field value in Pre-Advice, and when you click ‘Put Away Note’ and take printout this updated value will be shown in the 'Year’ column.


The pre-advice will give warning signs to the user of a difference between pre-advice & product attributes in Bond Details rather than earlier in the process. Warnings will be visible against each of the fields in the Order Item Details tab grid.

Check Sheet

This button produces the check sheet for the goods inwards and is used at the point when the goods are being offloaded from the vehicle.

Expand
titleClick Here To Know More...

You can receive a check sheet by going to your Pre-Advice and clicking the Checksheet button. You can take a printout of it if you need one. If the booking is made for this pre-advice, a booking reference number will be included in the checksheet. Along with general details, If the product needs Condition Report, it will be marked with the text ‘CR’.

Send Request Email

This is an optional module and will send an email to your customer requesting product codes and values for the products shown in the tab above. It is generally used when the goods arrive at the warehouse and the customer is not using a pre-advice, so the warehouse only knows the name and description and basic details.

Completed on Transfer Order

Should your customer send a pre-advice which is being transferred to you from another internal customer you will be able to use this feature to associate the two entries together and it will also cancel the entry as you only need the one which the system has generated, this button will only appear in certain conditions.

Other Areas

Customer Notes

Information within this can only be provided by customers using the EDI pre-advice, it is solely for information and is printed on some customer's check sheets.

Duty Stamps

When a duty stamp order is processed to place duty stamps onto a batch of stock then the numbers for the stock will appear in the duty stamps area on the bottom right.
