Manual Shipping Document Rgstr (IN54)

The Manual Shipping Document Register (IN54) program prints a list of all existing manual Shipping Document numbers generated in Maintain Manual Shipping Documents (IN20). IN54 allows you to purge used or destroyed numbers from the file.

As new Shipping Documents are generated in IN20, they are assigned a status of 'Available'. As those numbers are assigned to Invoices, their status is changed to 'Invoiced' and the Order/Invoice numbers are logged against the manual shipping document number. Unused numbers can be flagged as 'Destroyed' in IN20.

IN54 lists all existing Shipping Document numbers and their status. Upon acceptance of IN54, you are given the option to have all 'Invoiced' and 'Destroyed' numbers are purged from the file.

You can use the list of 'Available' numbers to reconcile against unused order forms. Numbers reported as 'Available', but for which no form can be located, represent:

  1. Orders shipped but not yet Invoiced.
    OR
  2. Forms that were legitimately destroyed.
