Dispatch materials from your Raw Materials Main Inventory to your Manufacturer.
When you create a dispatch note from the Production Orders, the dispatch note will be linked to the Production Order you are creating it from. This allows for easier tracking.
Tip: Note that you can also create a dispatch note directly from the Raw Materials Inventory module. In this case, the dispatch note will not be linked to any Production Order. For more information on creating a dispatch note in the Raw Materials Inventory module, read this article.
From the Production Orders list view, locate the Production Order you wish to create a Dispatch Note for and click Materials icon
Click Dispatch Notes tab
Click [+ Add] to create Dispatch Note and add details for the dispatch and the quantity
1. Dispatch Note Reference
2. Dispatch Date
3. Add additional Raw Materials with no quantities required
4. Zero All
5. Autofill outstanding quantities to dispatch to your manufacturer
6. Or manually enter/amend the autofilled fields
Once confirmed, select the Dispatched checkbox to update your Manufacturer (MFR) stock and inventory levels.
Important: Once a raw material dispatch note has been created and marked as Dispatched, it cannot be directly edited or changed. If you need to make changes, you must first deselect the Dispatched checkbox.
