Product: QuickBooks Enterprise


A Warehouse Shipping Order (940) acts as a copy of your Purchase Order (850) and as such is generated by importing a Sales Order from QuickBooks Enterprise into Transaction Manager to be sent to your Warehouse or 3PL so that they may fulfill the order on your behalf.


Creating a Sales Order


You'll need to create a Sales Order in order to be able to generate a Warehouse Shipping Order to be sent to your Warehouse. This is typically done automatically using the Sales Order Export ability within Transaction Manager which automatically generates a Sales Order any time a Purchase Order (850) is exported.

For More Info on Creating Sales Orders - See the below article


Assigning a Warehouse


Transaction Manager needs a way to identify which Warehouse Partner a particular Sales Order needs to be brought in for - in order to do this the system uses the Other field from QuickBooks Enterprise to match against your Partner Setup value of your Warehouse EDI Partner.

By assigning your Warehouse ID to the Other field Transaction Manager will be able to determine which partner you're looking to setup.


Importing


With everything created and setup on the QuickBooks Enterprise side - all you need to do is import your Sales Order into Transaction Manager and your Warehouse Shipping Order (940) will be generated to be sent to your Warehouse Partner.
