The status of dispatches selected in the Sales Dispatches browser can be changed collectively using the "Batch Status Change" option in the F9/right click menu.
The status of the relevant dispatch records is changed into the status selected in the "Sales Dispatches Batch Status Change" window.
The followings should be considered while changing the status of dispatches collectively:
- The status of Draft dispatches can be changed into the "Approved" status only.
- The status of Approved dispatches can be changed into the "Cancelled" or "Draft" status only.
- The status of a billed dispatch in Approved status cannot be changed as Cancelled. The status of the invoice must be Cancelled as well.
- The status of dispatches generated over the Shipment Slips can be Under Way and Delivered.
- The status of a dispatch record which is still under Budget Item Appropriation Control cannot be changed since the allocation is not sufficient.
- When the status of sales dispatches in Under Way and Delivered statuses is interchanged, the related shipment slip's status changes as well.
- When the status of dispatches with order connection is changed, the undelivered and shipment quantities of the order are updated along with the order status.
- For instance, the status of a dispatch record with order connection is changed from Draft into Approved, the undelivered quantity of the order is reduced, and the delivered quantity is increased in the same quantity of the dispatch transaction. The new status of the order is specified according to the quantity. If the order is fully delivered, it is changed into the Closed status.
- The status of dispatches with order connection cannot be updated as Approved if the order is in Closed status.
