Hi,

We are having a little bit of an issue with Order Entry. The problem we are having is that when we are processing an order with Order Entry everything is going to backorder which is perfect since it is then shipped once it is scanned by the warehouse.

The problem is that the total weight is not shown under the total window. This becomes a problem when our order entry person has to determine the cost of shipping the products.

Is there a way that we can display the total order weight that the order would be if all products are shipped.

Thank you,

Jenny

Hi Jenny

Spec code F24, which says Total Item Weight, is only for the invoiced items, not for ordered items. Spec code D49, which says Weight of Ordered Items, is only at the detail level, not the total.

There is no spec code that does what you want.

Jenny:

It would be fairly easy to create a GridView that shows the total order weight. Let me know if you would be interested.

Hello Jenny,

We use the OE spec code F26 "Total weight of ordered items" on our Picking List and Confirmations that we send to customers. If you need to make a quick shipping estimate, finish the order & print either of these with the Preview button to see the expected net weight. It is very helpful to have it on the Picking List to compare with the actual weight and see if an error has been made in picking the items.
