Forward Order: If this order is a forward order then enter "Yes" and the date the order is to be released/shipped to the customer. When entering forward orders the user does not have to specify how to supply all stock during order entry. The stock can be set as unsupplied. The result will be that the stock is not held so it can be released to other customers. Consolidate Orders: If the customer wants all goods shipped together than select "Yes". The order confirmation and all packing slips will print a note saying "SHIP ALL GOODS TOGETHER WITH INVOICE (NOT PACKING SLIPS)" as a reminder to the user packing/shipping the goods. Goods supplied now or later (backordered) will also print a packing slip in the usual manner except the packing slip will have the above note. This is done to ensure all goods are still picked and allocated to the customer. Some internal handling procedures may be required to fully implement this correctly. Single Invoice Only: If the customer requires one invoice, regardless of how the goods are dispatched then select "Yes". The system will not allow invoicing of individual packing slips, instead the system will only display the order for invoicing once all goods have been shipped.
