This is something I’ve wanted for a long time. From the load planning workbench, the batch job isn’t available. This is where we confirm the outbound shipments but the packing slip must be posted manually for the load to enable cancel packing slip option. Posting from the sales orders ties into the legacy packing slip functionality which doesn’t give the advanced warehouse options.
I can't imagine anyone using this app that hasn't had this issue. We are in the wealth management and corporate defined market fields, so things move fast and there often isn't time to "set regarding" at the moment. Being able to go back at the end of the day and do this in bulk would be huge for us.
This will solve all of my clients problem when it comes to job invoicing. They have an agreed exchange rate with the customer and since the Currency Factor is un-editable, it makes it very hard for them to invoice the client. There will be more instances where jobs will be multi-currency because of how the global market is now working. Please consider this functionality for the next update.
To take this one step further the process for rating should be multi-threaded. TMSFwkRateShopBroker Entity will only rate shop one at time. So in a typical packing operation a user will want to get the best rates from a variety of carriers like Fedex, UPS, USPS, DHL. The problem is the process of doing this thru the rate shopping entity (TMS solution from Blue Horseshoe) loops thru these vendors one at time. 20-50 seconds later we get the best rate. In our operation that ships thousands of packages a day you can see the time problem. If the rate shopper application would send requests to all carriers at the same time it would be a game charger.
