Sales Order Shipping Status

[dmetool]

Our Sales staff wants to know the best way to view an Order's status if a Shipment and Packing List has been made through aShipping Data Entry batch, but the Batch has not yet been processed through Invoicing. The problem we are having is that we don't process the Invoices until the next day usually, giving our AR department time to review for errors and add shipping charges, etc., and the SO status remains at "Active Order" in SO Inquiry and the line item shows "0" shipped, even though a Packing List has been made and the shipment processed. After the Invoices have been run, the status changes and the shipment displays on the line items. I know this is the standard behaviour, but how can the Sales staff view the "in process" status as to how many our currently being shipped but not yet invoiced?

Thanks in advance for any tips.
