How to: Post Shipments from Service Orders

After specifying the details of a service, you can adjust and post the quantities of items used, time spent, and costs incurred. As a result, Microsoft Dynamics NAV makes the necessary changes to reflect the new state of your inventory and current status of the specific order processing.

The following procedure shows how to post shipment of service line items in locations that are not set up to require warehouse handling.

To post shipments from service orders

1. In the Search box, enter Service Order, and then choose the related link.

2. In the window for the selected service order, click Actions, Order, Service Lines.

3. In the Service Lines window, find the required entries and specify the quantity to be posted in the Qty. to Ship field.

   Note

   The quantity to ship value depends on whether you want to post shipment fully or partially. If you choose to ship fully, the value in the Qty. to Ship field must be equal to the value in the Quantity field. When you post a partial shipment, you must specify the quantity you want to ship initially. If you have already shipped part of the service on the order, make a note of the value in the Quantity Shipped field. The maximum quantity you can enter in the Quantity to Ship field is the number of units that have not yet been shipped.

4. Click Actions, Posting, Post. In the window that appears, select Ship.

The program creates the relevant ledger entries (in the warranty ledger, item ledger, service ledger, or G/L) in the database. The program also produces the posted service shipment document and updates the relevant fields on the service lines of the service order.

If the location is set up to require warehouse handling, then the shipping and moving of service line items function in the same ways as for other source documents. The only difference is that service line items can be consumed either externally or internally and therefore require two different release functions.
