Sage 100

If a Sales Order has both Drop Ship items & items that will ship from the warehouse, & that Order is pulled into Shipping Data Entry, the PO will then not auto-generate for the Drop Ship items until the next day, after invoicing is done. This delays the PO by a day. Anyone else experiencing this or have a work around, other than running a report to show items not auto-generated? Is this working as designed? Doesn't make much sense to be designed that way.

What version of Sage 100?

Have you tried auto-generate PO first, then shipping?

It works then. However, with this client, they have sooo many orders that come in all day & throughout the country, there are bound to be items that the Shipping dept will start processing before the Purchasing dept may be able to auto-generate. I need the auto-generate to happen no matter what the rest of the order is doing or what stage it is at.

If you have KnowledgeSync you could setup an alert for SO drop ship lines without a PO number and then send that as an email or attach a Crystal report of those lines. Otherwise, a BOI job may be the other solution.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Follow up...Sage acknowledged this is a program glitch & passed along to Engineering to be in an update. In the mean time I have a report to show which ones were missed.
