Dispatch Center
The Dispatch Center is the warehouse's to-do list. It shows the documents whose goods still have to be picked and handed over, and records what was dispatched, when and by whom.
Turn it on in Preferences › Dispatch Center and choose the documents it covers: invoices, delivery notes and vendor credits (returns to vendors). Then open Inventory›Dispatch Center.
The Dispatch Center doesn't move stock. The stock already left when the document was posted. It records the physical handover, so you know what is still waiting at the warehouse.
Find what to dispatch
The tabs show Pending, Partial and To Return documents. Filter by Status, Document type, Warehouse (only yours) and date, or search by number, customer or vendor. Each document shows how long it has been waiting.
Dispatch
- Select the document. Its lines show the item, batch, unit, the Required quantity and what is Remaining.
- Enter the Dispatch Now quantities, or click Fill All Remaining.
- Set the Date, add a note if you like, and click Dispatch.
Partly dispatched documents stay under Partial until everything has gone. The Dispatch History shows every dispatch with its quantity, date, user and note.
When the document changes afterwards
If a document is changed or cancelled after its goods were dispatched, lines can show To return: more was dispatched than the document now takes out. When the goods come back, use Undo in the dispatch history for that quantity, with a reason.
