General Information¶

Default Menu Location Transaction >> WMS >> Freight In-Out Process

Screen Name INOUT

Freight- Master Screen

Function Freight, as opposed to inventory, is not bought and sold with Purchase Orders and Sales Orders. Rather, it is received, stored in a warehouse, then shipped to its next destination, using a Material Receipt ("MR") packaged with the shipment. Adjutant's main screen for processing freight is the Freight In/Out Processing window. Most freight information is entered on the Master tab.

Fields/Filters¶

MRID: The Material Receipt ID Number of the shipment. This is normally found printed on the paper MR, and it is used to track the shipment in Adjutant and in the warehouse.

Supplier: The supplier providing the shipment. Enter the organization code in the first blank, then press Enter and the full name of the organization appears in the second blank. Click on the underlined word to bring up a list of suppliers.

Sold To: The organization that purchased the shipment. Enter the organization code in the first blank, then press Enter and the full name of the organization appears in the second blank. Click on the underlined word to bring up a list of organizations.

Bill To: The organization billed for the shipment. Enter the organization code in the first blank, then press Enter and the full name of the organization appears in the second blank. Click on the underlined word to bring up a list of organizations.

Ship To: The organization, location or office receiving the shipment. Enter the organization code in the first blank, then press Enter and the full name of the organization appears in the second blank. Click on the underlined word to bring up a list of organizations.

Carrier: The freight carrier or shipping method used for the shipment. Some implementations of Adjutant include a list of possible shipping carriers. Enter the carrier's code in the first blank, then press Enter and the full name of the carrier appears in the second blank. Or click on the underlined word to bring up a list of carriers to choose from. If there is not database of carriers in Adjutant, you can write the carrier name or shipping method by hand in the blanks.

Complete: Check this box when the shipment is complete

PO# and Ref#: If the paper MR includes a Purchase Order Number or Reference number, you can put them in these blanks to keep track of them. NOTE: This information is not to be confused with Adjutant's own PO numbers; it is not used anywhere else in the program.

Current Whse: The warehouse where freight is currently stored

These attributes are normally entered and updated in the warehouse by a wireless hand-held scanner, but if necessary, click the Edit button and change them.
