We have an order with a single order line with a quantity of 1.  This item is a large metal frame building and will take at least 3 50 FT flatbed trailers to ship.  What is the best way to do multiple shipments against this single line?  I’ve looked into handling units (50 FT trailer) and adding 3 of those to the shipment but I’m not crazy about splitting the line in to .333 of each to add an equal amount to each handling unit.  Wondering if there is a better way to handle this scenario. 

Hi @greg.eickmeier,

I'm curious why you need multiple shipments.  I understand there is a need for 3 flat bed trailers.

If you can elaborate on the business requirement, that may be helpful.  For example, are the trailers coming to pick up the material on 3 separate days and you are hoping to avoid decrementing inventory after day 1?

Also, can you please share what IFS version you are using?

 

@astfarazt My IFS vernacular is probably not right yet (we aren’t going live with IFS cloud until the spring).  I don’t need three separate shipment records, I am just looking for a way to specify that we are shipping the building on 3 different trucks/trailers with unique paperwork for each load (packing list/BOL).  The customers and our teams need to know which parts are on which trailer. It can all be the same shipment number.  The order may ship in phases due to the sizes (sometime 2-3 weeks apart).
