Setup
This section describes the primary records you need to create for the Shipping and Receiving
module. These apps are contained within the Setup folder for this module; only the primary records
are described here. Some areas within the Operations section may also document setup records if
they are required for a specific workflow.
You may also need to set up some parameters within Company Configuration. Some modules have
global settings you define through this administration app. For more information, review the
application help for this module; the Configuration topic details the options you define within the
Company Configuration app.
7 October, 2023
Establishing Carrier Codes
Establish codes for each carrier you use to ship goods to your customers (for example, UPS, USPS,
FedEx, Consolidated) in Carrier Maintenance.
You can associate a Standard Carrier Alpha Code (SCAC) code with each carrier. It is an
internationally accepted two-to-four digit number used in the transportation industry to identify freight
carriers used in Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) transactions and shipping documents (such as Bill
of Lading, Freight Bill, Packing List, and Purchase Order). These codes are commonly used by the
automobile, petroleum, forest products, and chemical industries, as well as suppliers to retail
businesses, carriers engaged in railroad piggyback trailers.
Use the landing page of the application to view existing carrier codes or create a new one.
1. From the main menu, go to Material Management > Shipping/Receiving > Setup > Carrier.
4. In the SCAC field, enter the Standard Carrier Alpha Code associated with the carrier.
5. Select Save.
8 October, 2023
Creating Ship Via Codes
Enter shipping methods, or ship via codes, for transporting products to customers and
subcontractors in Ship Via Maintenance.
Use the landing pag of the application to view existing ship via codes or to enter a new one.
l Deactivating records
3. In the Code field, enter a unique identifier for a method of shipping, such as UPS for UPS
Ground.
4. In the Description field, enter more information about the shipping method. Other users will
use the description to select a shipping method on orders, packing slips, and invoices. The
description is also printed on documents like packing slips.
5. If necessary, in the Web Description field, enter a description of the shipping method as it
should display in Customer Connect.
6. Use the Carrier dropdown to select the carrier (for example, UPS or FedEX) that is associated
with this ship via code. The dropdown holds the carrier codes entered through Carrier
Maintenance.
7. If needed, enter the associated Standard Alpha Code in the SCAC field. The field will default
to the SCAC code defined for the selected carrier code in Carrier Maintenance.
The SCAC is an internationally accepted two-to-four digit number used in the transportation
industry to identify freight carriers used in Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) transactions and
shipping documents (such as Bill of Lading, Freight Bill, Packing List, and Purchase Order).
These codes are commonly used by the automobile, petroleum, forest products, and chemical
industries, as well as suppliers to retail businesses, carriers engaged in railroad piggyback
trailers, and ocean container drayage.Enter the free form text that denotes the SCAC code. If
you associate a SCAC code with the shipment method, it displays on sales order
acknowledgements, the packing slips for customer shipments, miscellaneous shipments,
9 October, 2023
master packs, transfer orders, purchase orders, EDI 855s (Outbound PO Acknowledgments),
and EDI 856s (Advance Shipment Notices).
l Specify an Intrastat Code for this method of shipping. The Intrastat ship via code you
enter into this field is included in the transaction details when you post an invoice.
l Select Bordercrossing Required if a country entry or exit point should be entered with
this ship via is used. The information is used for Intrastat reporting.
Intrastat is the system used for collecting statistics on the trade of goods between the member
states of the EU. Organizations that are VAT-registered and trade in goods with other EU
member states are required to provide details of these transactions. This includes the shipping
and receiving of goods for the purpose of secondary processing and Return Material
Authorizations (RMAs).
If you trade with any of the other EU member states, you have a responsibility to report the
trade to HM Revenue and Customs. You generate the required Intrastat data, generate the
Intrastat report and output file which can be submitted the data electronically to HM Revenue
and Customs (HMRC).
HMRC uses specific terminology to describe the movements of goods between EU member
states: arrivals, or acquisitions; and dispatches, or removals (rather than imports or exports as
these terms instead define trade with countries that do not belong to the EU).
9. In the Tracking Website card, enter a Placeholder and a URL. The Placeholder specifies the
portion of the URL replaced with an actual tracking number, once the shipment is processed.
Enter a placeholder value in this field; a variable name that makes the tracking URL more
readable. The URL holds the web address where shipments using this shipment method are
10 October, 2023
tracked. Enter the applicable URL in this field, including the placeholder variable.
If you enter a URL into this field, the segment of the URL that represents the placeholder (in
the example, <TrackingNumber>) must match the placeholder value defined into the
Placeholder field. The Kinetic application replaces this value with the tracking number
recorded at time of shipment.
Federal Express is one of the Ship Via methods, and the applicable web address for their
shipments would be defined as follows:
http://www.fedex.com/Tracking?tracknumbers=<TrackingNumber>&cntry_
code=us UPS is another Ship Via method.
The applicable web address for their shipments would be entered asfollows:
http://wwwapps.ups.com/etracking/tracking.cgi?&TypeOfInquiryNumber=T
&InquiryNumber1=<TrackingNumber>
In both cases, <TrackingNumber> is the placeholder value, which you define in the
Placeholder field. When a shipment is processed in the Kinetic application, it replaces this
placeholder value with the actual tracking number for the package.
Deactivating Records
Select the Inactive check box on the Ship Via card if you want to deactivate this ship via code. You
may need this if it's an old record, and is no longer in use. This removes the record from available
active options and searches in other apps.
11 October, 2023
More info on deactivating ship via codes here
You routinely add new ship via codes that are active, but over time may get retired and replaced with
new ones. In order to prevent you from choosing an invalid option that is no longer applicable, Kinetic
enables you to mark a ship via inactive. The deactivating option prevents you from unknowingly use
the old retired data on an order or during shipment. That saves your time, and allows you ship your
products without delay.
Depending on the app you use, you will see an Inactive Ship Via status alerting you to the inactive
data (like in Purchase Order Entry, Quote Entry, Demand Contract Entry).
Sometimes, you may see the Ship Via field displays no data. This happens when, for example, you
create a sales order from a quote with an inactive ship via code, or you create a duplicate from the
PO that has the ship via code deactivated.
In some cases, you will see an error message alerting you to the inactive code.
To learn more about the deactivating function, refer to the Deactivating Record article.
12 October, 2023
Defining Package Codes
You can define package codes that denote various kinds of shipping containers (for example, 8 x 10
Container, Multi-Unit Box) in the Package Code Maintenance app.
For each package code, you can specify the volume, weight and internal/external dimensional
measurements (Width, Height and Length). For each type of measurement, you also specify if a user
can override the standard measurement values at the time of shipment.
A package code is not required for shipping of items, but you can use it for reference if necessary.
You can designate a package code as Returnable or Expendable. Returnable packages are
shipping containers your recipients can send back to your facilities for refill or reuse; package codes
designated as Expendable are those that are non-returnable and non-refillable.

Using Legal Numbers
Some countries require you use legal numbers with company transactions. Legal numbers improve
tracking and auditing because they make sure business documents and transactions have unique
sequential numbers. For example, you can indicate within Company Configuration that legal
numbers are required on all customer printed invoice and credit documents.
l Legal document numbers - These numbers are assigned to external documents like packing
slips, sales invoices, and credit memos. The number assignment occurs when the documents
are posted or printed.
l Legal transaction numbers - These numbers are assigned when documents are created that
do not require printing, for example, manual journals and cash receipts.
You can generate legal numbers for financial, supply chain and manufacturing transaction
documents throughout the application. To generate legal numbers for a transaction, the following
information is required:
l At least one of the required transaction type defined in Transaction Document Type
Maintenance. One must have a selected Default for System Transaction check box.
l At least one legal number configuration for the transaction type defined in Legal Number
Maintenance. The transaction document type must be selected.
You use Transaction Document Type to associate transaction document types to system
transactions. You then use Legal Number Maintenance to define the prefixes, formats, masks,
sequences, and legal text. You link number legal number configurations to specific transaction
document types.
If your Kinetic application is integrated with another financial application, legal numbers can also be
generated through this external system and then returned to the Kinetic application. You may then
view the legal number through various tracking programs.
You can view legal numbers in various programs, trackers, logs and reports. When you print tags,
generated legal numbers associated with the transaction print on the tag.
Use the landing pag of the application to view existing legal numbers or to enter a new one.

Continue to add the transaction document types you need. When you finish, save the legal number.
30 October, 2023
Creating a Transaction Document Type
Create AP and AR transaction document types in Transaction Document Type Maintenance.
These document types are government mandated. You need to set them up so they follow with the
statutory document types and represent a document type assigned to a legal number. For example,
you can create document types for AR invoices, promissory notes, withholding tax certificates,
shipments, tax receipts, and other transactions.
All AR and AP general ledger transactions must have a document type. The system uses them to
drive the correct legal numbering for the transaction as each document type has its own numbering
set.
You must link each document type to the applicable legal number format and number sequence. Use
Serial Number Maintenance to create serial numbers with the appropriate conditions.
If the same document type applies to both Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable,
you must manually set up a document type for each module.
Use the landing page of the application to view the existing transaction document types or create a
new one.
3. Enter the name of the new document type in the Document Type field and add its description.

the default one for all system transactions of this type you enter.
You must mark a document type as a system transaction default if it is the only
entry of the selected transaction.
6. Select Save.
You can't clear this check box for a transaction type you defined as Default for
System Transaction.
32 October, 2023
4. In the User ID column, select the blank space in the line and enter the user's name or select it
from the drop-down.
If you need to delete an authorized user, select their line in the grid and select Delete
Authorized User from the grid Overflow menu .
5. If necessary, select the Default check box for the user to make this document type the default
one for when the user creates the relevant system transaction.
6. Continue to add the authorized users you need. When you finish, select Save .
If you want to go on and set up a transaction document type for e-invoicing, refer to the Adding
a Document Type for E-Invoice Transactions article.

Generating the Scheduled Shipments Report
Run the Scheduled Shipments Report to display outstanding order releases quantities.
The standard version of the report, does not show Bin Locations for the Part Numbers. The user
would need to two reports or track each Shipment individually to identify where these parts are
located.
Fortunately, SSRS reports can be customized to include additional fields and information. A table –
table relation can be added in the Report Data Definition and thus, allow the addition of new fields to
the report. This allows you to include the following fields:
l Warehouse
l Bin Location
l On Hand Quantity
Once you deploy the modified version of the SSRS report, you can continue running the report the
same way it has been executed before. When deploying the custom version, you can also choose to
either replace the existing version of the report, or create a new Report Style so you can run both
versions.
The outstanding order release quantity is calculated by subtracting both the Shipped Quantity and
the Shipped from Stock Quantity from the Order Release Quantity. If this value is negative, the
outstanding quantity is set to zero.
l Due On or Before - The cutoff date for the report. Only open order releases that are dated on
or before this date are printed on the report.
l Include Site to Site Shipments - Select if you want the report to include shipments made from
one internal site to another internal site.

Customer/Part/Due Date, Due Date/Part, and Part/Due Date.
l Report Style - Select the report style option you want to use to run this report.
l Schedule - Indicates when you want to print the report. If you select something other than
Now, the Recurring check box is available.
l Archive Period - Time period you want to keep the report in the System Monitor. The default is
0 Days, meaning that the report will be deleted from the monitor shortly after being printed.
45 October, 2023
After the Archive Period passes, the report is purged from the system. When a report is exactly
purged is determined by a combination of the date/time the report generates, the number of
days set in the report's Archive Period, and the Report Purge Frequency setting. The Report
Purge Frequency is defined in the System Agent within its Task Agent Purge Settings.
l User Description - Describes a specific report run. The entered description displays in the
System Monitor.
l Recurring - Select this check box if you want the report to run on a repeating basis. This check
box is only available if you select a schedule other than Now.

Identifying Final Destination Of the Goods
Use the Mark For card to identify the final destination of the goods for the sales order.
You would typically use this card when you ship an item to a distribution center instead of directly to a
customer, and the distribution center requests that the item be marked with a name and address for
reshipment to one of their customers.
l In this case, the 'Ship To' is the distribution center, and the Mark For is the final destination
address of the package.
l If the 'Allow One Time Ship To' check box has been selected on the 'Customer Maintenance >
Customer > Detail' card, you can select the 'One Time Ship To' check box to manually enter a
one time ship to address. The 'Mark For' information prints on shipping labels and packing
slips.
If the sales order was created from a quote and you have the 'Dealer Network Management' license
installed, Kinetic retrieves the information from the 'Line > Dealer Info' card in the 'Opportunity/Quote
Entry' app and uses it to identify the final destination of the goods.
The Line Detail card displays. Minimize the card upon launch.

Drop shipments are directly shipped by your suppliers to your customers. These goods are never
physically received into or shipped from your physical inventory because your supplier directly ships
the goods. Because of this, the application prevents drop shipment transactions from being
processed using the standard receiving or shipment programs.
You use Drop Shipment Entry to mark a drop shipped sales order release as shipped and mark the
linked PO release as received. Once the drop shipment transaction is selected as received/shipped
in Drop Shipment Entry, you can create a customer invoice for the drop shipped item using AR
Invoice Entry, and enter a supplier invoice received for the purchased item into AP Invoice Entry.
You do this in the same way as you process invoices for regular customer shipments and received
purchases. Read the Customers and Accounts Receivable chapter for more information on AR
Invoicing and the Suppliers and Accounts Payable chapter for information on AP Invoicing.
Use the landing page of the application to view existing drop shipments or to enter a new one.
1. From the main menu, navigate to Material Management > Shipping / Receiving > General
Operations > Drop Shipment Entry.
3. In the PO field, enter the PO number that you plan to drop ship to your customer. You can also
click the PO button to search for and select your purchase order.
4. In the Packing Slip field, specify the packing slip identifier for the drop shipment entry. The
application uses this to create a shipment record for drop ship sales orders, and a receipt
record for drop ship PO releases.
When the sales order was entered, the Drop Ship check box was selected
indicating this order is being drop shipped by your supplier to your customer. For
more information on sales order entry, read the Sales Order chapter.
5. From the Document Type drop-down list, select the appropriate document type.
8. Select Ship All on the Drop Ship Lines card to ship all drop shipment lines.
You can also add a new drop shipment line, provided you are ordering from the same supplier
for the same drop shipment customer.
Example: If PO 123 contains three lines being dropped shipped to Customer ABC, and you
have sold another drop shipped part from that same supplier to that same customer on a
different sales order and linked purchase order (PO 456), you can process the drop shipments
for that PO if they are being dropped shipped together with the items from the earlier PO.
9. Use the Pending PO Lines card to view all pending drop shipment PO release lines for the
purchase order number specified in the PO field. Select a specific pending PO Line record to
process or edit a pending drop ship line. The Drop Ship Lines Details card displays the lines as
Complete.
Select the Mass Drop Shipment button on the Pending PO Lines card to process a mass
drop shipment transaction for the selected pending PO and drop shipment lines.
The grid in the card also displays the 'Revision' field where you can see the
revision selected on the purchase order line. The 'Revision' field is also located
To learn more about the concept of 'Tracking Inventory by Revision', review the
Track Inventory by Revision Overview article and its related articles.
10. Once the goods have been shipped and received to your customer, select the
Received/Shipped check box on the Details card to indicate the shipment can be invoiced in
Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable.
l Updates the Ship/Receipt Date field with the current system date (which can be
overridden).
l Automatically creates shipment and receipt transaction records used when you create
AR invoices for the drop shipped item, and AP invoices for purchase of the drop ship
item from your supplier.
Clear the check box if the drop shipment goods have not yet been received/shipped (default).
You cannot clear the check box once the drop shipment been invoiced in AR or AP. If this
check box has previously been selected and you clear it before AP or AR invoices have been
created, the Epicor application deletes the shipment and receipt transaction records created at
the time the check box was selected.
Note: You cannot change fields for any of the associated drop shipment PO lines in the Drop
Shipments Line card if the Received/Shipped check box is selected for the purchase order.
This check box should only be selected after all drop shipment PO lines have been processed
for the specified purchase order.
11. (Optional) Verify that the Legal Number field is filled in with the legal number.
If you need to void legal number, select Legal Number > Void Legal Number from the
Overflow menu.
After voiding a legal number, select Legal Number > Assign Legal Number to assign a new
legal number to this drop shipment. The Legal Number field populates with the new value.
To do this, the part record must be a 'manufactured' or 'purchased' part. You then create two part-site
details that use the transfer type value. One site detail is defined as the source for the transfer part
quantity. The other site detail is set up to receive this transfer part quantity.
You create a new transfer order using the 'Transfer Order Entry' app. You then use the 'Transfer
Order Shipment Entry' app to enter the shipment of an inter-'Site' transfer. If your 'Site' record is set
up for direct shipping, you can also use the 'Direct Shipment' functionality to ship parts to another
Site without using an existing transfer order. To receive the transfer order shipment, use the 'Receive
Transfer Order' app.
Transfer orders are handled through the Inventory functionality. If you need to
transfer parts within the same site, you instead use the Inventory Transfer app.
If you are using 'Material Requirements Planning' (MRP), you can use the 'Transfer Order
Workbench' app to work with transfer order suggestions. The MRP engine automatically creates
transfer order suggestions during its calculations. It does this by monitoring the 'On-Hand Quantity'
available within the receiving part-site detail. When it encounters that this part-site detail's 'On-Hand
Quantity' is below its 'Minimum On-Hand Quantity', a transfer order suggestion is created for both
sites. One suggestion is the demand record, while the other suggestion is the supply record.
The supply record suggestion uses the 'Transfer Order Need By Date'. This record is applied against
the receiving site. Any resulting MRP calculations use this date to determine when the transfer part
quantity must arrive at the receiving site. The demand record suggestion, however, calculates the
'Transfer Order Request Date'. This record is applied against the source site. Any resulting MRP
calculations use this date to determine when production or purchasing must begin at the source site.
The following example(s) illustrate how you use the Transfer Orders functionality:
Site Alpha needs to stock Part 567-89K, as it is a material needed for another part it manufactures.
You manufacture Part 567-89K internally within site Beta. You launch the Part Maintenance program
and create a part-site detail for site Beta, entering the MRP details you need for this part.
You then create another part-site detail for site Alpha. In the Type section, you indicate that this is a
Transfer part. You then indicate that site Beta will be the source for Part 567-89K. Within the
Transfer Lead Time field, you also define that it usually takes 3 days to receive part quantities from
site Beta. You then enter a Minimum On-Hand Quantity value of 100.
When the On-Hand Quantity at site Alpha becomes 99 or less, the MRP engine will generate both a
transfer order suggestion and an unfirm job for Part 567-89K.
When the MRP engine is next run, it will create different types of records depending on whether the
transfer part is manufactured or purchased:
If the transfer part is manufactured, it will create either an unfirm job or a job suggestion (if it cannot
find an approved method of manufacturing) as a supply record for the source part-site detail.
If the transfer part is purchased, it will create a purchase suggestion as a supply record for the
source part-site detail.
The transfer order suggestions are calculated differently for non-stock and stock parts. These are the
differences:
Non-stock parts - Either an unfirm job/job suggestion or a purchase suggestion is created on the
source site for the specific transfer part quantity.
Stock parts- The MRP engine will first determine the On-Hand Quantity available at the source site.
If there is enough quantity available, no suggestions are generated. If some of the quantity is
available, however, the quantity on the unfirm job/job suggestion or purchase suggestion will be
reduced by the On-Hand Quantity amount.
