OE36 - Header Record

The Print BOL and Shipping Labels (OE36) Header record is available on every folder within OE36. The information on each folder relates to the Bill of Lading (BOL) selected in the Bill Number field.

  • Note: The buttons found in the Footer section (at the bottom of the screen) are defined in this topic.

  • The printers for the BOL and Shipping Labels from the current Warehouse are defined in Assign BOL and Label Printers (OE01).

The following list defines every field in the Header section of OE36:

  • When you first open OE36, the Sales Office window automatically displays.

    • Select the Sales Office for this BOL and press Enter. Sales Offices are defined in Mntn Sales Office/Whse Numbers (CC96).

    • The default Sales Office for your Operator ID is set up in Mntn Operator Passwd/Privilege (CC03), but you can select any Sales Office from the list.

    • Note: If you have Sales Orders for different Sales Offices, you must close and reopen OE36 to select an alternate Sales Office.

    If you do not have a printer set up in Assign BOL and Label Printers (OE01), the following message displays: "Please setup warehouse for bill of lading printing in Assign BOL and Label Printers (OE01). OK".

  • Bill Number - enter or select from the query a Bill of Lading (BOL) number. If you are creating a new Bill of Lading, tab through this field. The Bill Number is automatically assigned by OE36 once the remaining fields in the Header section are entered. The BOL includes a prefix character defined in Maintain Sales Office/Warehouse Numbers (CC96).

      Note: If you are printing an existing BOL, once the Bill Number is entered, the remaining fields in the Header section automatically populate with information from the existing BOL.

  • Whse - enter or select from the query the Warehouse to which the BOL is associated. Warehouses are defined in CC96. Once the Warehouse code is entered, the Warehouse name automatically displays beside this field.

  • Sales Order - enter or select from the query the Sales Order number for which you are printing the Bill of Lading. The Order must be printed by Print Shipping documents (OE34).

  • Desc/Content - a description of the articles being shipped defaults to the description entered in the 'Description of Articles' field in OE01, for this Warehouse. You can enter an override description for this Bill of Lading to a maximum of 30 characters. This override applied to the current BOL only. This description prints on the Bill of Lading.

  • # Of Cartons - enter the number of cartons required for this shipment to a maximum of 99999. If you are printing shipping labels, the value entered in this field becomes the default value for the number of shipping labels to print, which may be overridden before the labels are actually printed. Note: This field is unavailable when the Carton Weight Entry Method is set to 'As detail of each Sales Order'. In this scenario, the number of Cartons is entered in the 'Cartons' field on the Orders folder.

  • Weight - enter the total weight of the BOL. This field is set to Pounds (Lbs) or Kilograms (Kgs) depending on the setting in OE01 for this Warehouse. You can enter up to a maximum of 99999 in this field. Note: This field is unavailable when the Carton Weight Entry Method is set to 'As detail of each Sales Order'. In this scenario, the Weight is entered in the 'Weight' field on the Orders folder.

  • Declared Value - enter the declared value of the goods being shipped in this field. You can enter up to a maximum of 999999.99 in this field.

  • Carrier - defaults to the Carrier assigned to the first Sales Order. You can change the Carrier by entering a new Carrier code in this field, to a maximum of 25 characters. The Carrier's code prints on the Bill of Lading.

  • Ship Via - defaults to the first Ship Via code assigned on the Order. Ship Via codes are defined in Maintain Support Tables (SU09/Ship Via). Once the Ship Via is entered, the Ship Via name displays beside this field.

    • You can change the Ship Via by using the query to select an alternated Ship Via. If you change the Ship Via, the following message displays: "Code is different than on order. Update order with this ship via code? Yes/No". Select Yes to update the Sales Order with the new Ship Via code. Select No update the Ship Via on the BOL only; the Ship Via on the Sales Order remains unchanged.

  • Ship Date - defaults to the system date. You can change the Ship Date by entering or selecting from the query a new Date.

  • Freight - defaults to the Freight code assigned on the first Order. You can change the Freight by entering or selecting from the query a new Freight code. Once the code is entered, the Freight description displays beside this field.

    • If you change the Freight, the following message displays: "Code is different than on order. Update order with this freight terms code? Yes/No". Select Yes to update the Sales Order with the new Freight code. Select No update the Freight on the BOL only; the Freight on the Sales Order remains unchanged.

  • Dimensions - enter the physical dimensions of the goods being shipped. This field prints on your BOL form if your form design includes a Dimension field.
