Feature - Order Ship Status Auditing Report
The Order Ship Status Auditing Report is available under COP -> Processing -> Pick/Pack tickets & Ship Label -> Shipping -> Order Ship Status Auditing Report.
The feature gives the user the ability to reconcile EDI orders received, vs. Shipped Data Export. A batch of EDI orders are received from a trading partner. These orders are imported through COP -> Util-Setup -> Sales order import -> New sales order import. Most likely, during the import, the system will assign a range of order numbers for the EDI orders. In many cases, there can be 50 or 100 consecutive EDI sales orders from this account. To import 50 to 100 orders may take a little bit of time. In some rare situations, there can be another customer’s order in the middle of this range. In many situations, the orders that are imported are drop ship orders for consumers who purchase through the trading partner's website. The orders are evaluated and shipped directly if the items are in stock; possibly produced through a work order; back ordered if warehouse personnel know the inventory is coming within certain number of days to fulfill the order; or canceled the inventory won't be available within a reasonable amount of time. After processing the orders, the user will run COP -> Util-Setup -> Sales Order Export -> Shipped Data Export. This will cause the EDI ASN (Advanced Shipping Notice) be sent to the trading partner. The tracking number will be included with the ASN. From there, the trading partner will notify the consumer that the order is shipped and the tracking number associated with it.
Sometimes an exception can happen that will cause difficulty in reconciling what happened to the batch of orders. For example, there are 100 pick tickets printed for this account. However, when they perform “Shipped Data Export,” only 98 orders are exported. What happened? Where are the two missing order numbers? Currently “Shipped Data Export” does not provide that information, so it is difficult to investigate the issue.
The Order Ship Status Auditing Report clearly identifies the exceptions. The exceptions including the following:
a. Consumer decides to cancel the order after the pick ticket is already printed.
b. The order is deleted after the pick ticket is printed because they found out they can’t ship after all.
c. The order is not shipped (no manifest record) for whatever reason.
d. The manifest machine, for some reason, is not writing the manifest note to Elliott.
e. The order is not processed through shipping verification. Shipping verification is how we create UCC-128 labels. If the trading partner requires UCC-128 labels, then the order must be processed through shipping verification. Otherwise, the shipped data export will not export this order.
The Order Ship Status Auditing Report screen parameters should cover the same parameters as on the COP -> Util-Setup -> Sales Order Export -> Ship Data Export screen. In addition, it allows exporting the results to a CSV file.

The Order Ship Status Auditing Report has the following grand totals:
Total Number of Orders in Range – Only printed if an order range is provided.
Total Number of Orders in Range Found - This is the actual orders found and printed on this report. This does not include credit memo, blanket order. It may include Q type of orders if it is a canceled order. But it does not include the regular quote order.
Total Number of Orders XXXXXXXXXX representing each possible status value. If there are no orders found for a particular status, the total line for that status is not printed. For example, if the user chooses to print from order# 1001 – 1100, then the following may show in the grand total area:
Total Number of Orders in Range: 100
Total Number of Orders in Range Found: 99 – this may differ from i due to cr. memo, other customer’s order…etc.
Total Number of Orders Open: 1
Total Number of Orders Back Order: 2
Total Number of Orders Picked: 2
Total Number of Orders Tracking Number Exist: 92
Total Number of Orders Deleted: 1
Total Number of Orders Canceled: 1
The purpose of the grand total breakdown is so that user does not need to look at the detail area. Users can simply print to screen and scroll to the end and see a breakdown of what happened to the orders in this range and then take necessary action to investigate further if exceptions are found.
