Delivery/Shipping

In this box you configure settings for delivery and shipping from the supplier.

If you have installed the option Warehouse you can also enter delivery days, transport time, and place of terms of delivery – per warehouse for the supplier. The values entered in these settings will be saved on all warehouses for a new supplier. If you change warehouse for the supplier and select/enter other values in these settings, these values will only be saved for the warehouse in question. On a purchase order, these settings are determined by the selected warehouse on the order.

Delivery days

Here you configure specific weekdays as delivery days when the delivery should arrive to our factory. If no days are selected, all the days of the week will be delivery days. If some days are selected as delivery days, this will affect the delivery date when registering orders.

For purchase orders, the delivery date suggested (finish date for subcontracts) will be the date closest ahead in time that is a delivery date for the supplier. For inquiries and purchase orders, the delivery date on the row always refers to the week day when the delivery will arrive to the factory, regardless of transport time.

If you change the suggested delivery date on an order, a validation will be made against the entered delivery days. A warning will be displayed if the delivery date is not a day you have entered as a delivery day.

Transport time

Here you enter the transport time in number of work days (only whole numbers). The transport time refers to the time it takes to transport the goods from the sender to the receiver. The transport time also affects the delivery date printed on the documents and the text printed as an explanation to the delivery date, according to the following:

  • If a transport time has been entered, it will on the purchase order document say: "Del. date = Shipped from your warehouse (Trans. time: X work days)".
  • If no transport time has been entered, it will on the purchase order document say: "Del. date = Arrival at our warehouse"

Allowance too early/too late

Here you enter the allowance for deliveries made too early and too late in number of work days. The value is used when calculating the supplier’s delivery reliability towards you. That is, how many days the delivery can differ (in number of days) and still be considered to be “on time”.

Destination

You only need to enter a destination if it is not the same as the city entered in the delivery address.

Place of terms of delivery

You only need to enter the place of terms of delivery if it is not the city entered in the delivery address. The place of terms of delivery indicates the place or city where the financial responsibility for the shipped goods will pass to another party.

Delivery instructions

A delivery instruction can also be entered, if needed. If "Supplier" has been selected as source of information in the Register shipment procedure, the delivery instruction will be included in the shipment and on shipping documents.

Customer number, shipping agents

Under this button there is a table where you can enter customer number at the shipping agent and pallet registration number for each supplier of the type Shipping agent in the supplier register.
