Made2Manage shipping and receiving functions enable you to easily manage all activity associated with the receipt of materials and returned goods and the shipping of finished goods and subcontract work. Through the Made2Manage add and carry function, you can quickly create multiple shippers and receivers without the need to re-key information from the original sales order or purchase order.
Shippers can be created for customers or vendors and also can be designated as returned material or sub-contract work. If you are managing a high volume of shipments on a daily basis, the Made2Manage Auto Shipping feature can be used to create a checklist of items/orders available to be shipped. Once all the items for shipment are identified, you can hit a button and create all the necessary shippers in one step.
The process of shipping feeds the invoicing queue for accounts receivable and updates inventory and job costing immediately. The system can automatically post general ledger transactions upon confirmation of the shipper. In addition, an automatic link for information related to a shipper will pull up the appropriate sales order, job order or purchase order.
You can also ship using the added security of a bill of lading to file claims in case of theft or damage to a shipment. Bills of lading also indicate whether your shipments contain hazardous material. Made2Manage also interfaces seamlessly with UPS WorldShip - a shipping software application for your high-volume shipping needs.
By routing outbound material through the shipping process, you create a complete audit trail for all products leaving your company. Items that require a lot control or a serial number can quickly be entered at the time of shipment. The system also lets you enter custom messages or pull in standard messages for printing internal or customer-specific shipping instructions.
The receiving function records vendor receipts and customer returns to your company. Similar to shipping, the tracking of all inbound receipts also creates a complete audit trail. The posting of a receipt automatically transfers costs to WIP or inventory and appears in the queue for accounts payable. Any items that were purchased for a job order are automatically received to that job upon confirmation of the receiver. Miscellaneous receipts accommodate deliveries that do not have purchase orders associated with them.
