GP9 ShipComplete

[Borvik]

I've finally gotten the go ahead from the boss to upgrade to GP9 (3rd party enhancements were a killer)!

Currently in GP7.5 we are using a 3rd party addon that handles shipcompletes by placing a "SHIPCOMPLETE" hold on the order, and when the inventory comes in the hold is removed - this process is run at a few different times a day.

Currently I've got a custom program that prints our packing slips (via a Crystal Report) that makes sure there is no holds before printing (hence only prints when full order is here).

In GP9 ship complete looks to be built in (can see the checkbox on the customer window), and I've seen the SHIPCOMPLETE field added to SOP10100.

How does the ship complete (built into GP9) work? Obviously it's different, and I'm the one that has to teach the others the difference. Does the SHIPCOMPLETE field get reset to 0 once the inventory is here?

Thanks.

Got the ship complete process figured out - pretty sure anyways.

When marked as a ship complete document the Multiple Orders transfer process will not transfer the ship complete docs (if inventory is missing). And when inventory comes in, it automatically gets applied to the document - thus allowing it to print (although the SHIPCOMPLETE field stays set to 1), and transfer.

At least that's the way it appears to me - if I'm incorrect please let me know.

Cheers.
