Find out just how fast, easy and smooth your SO shippers creation process in QAD can be. In this webinar we will show you how our SO Shipper Data Loader’s simple interface allows you to use our Excel-based software to view QAD data and quickly and easily create sales order shippers. This powerful tool will help you:
• Download QAD detailed information about current and upcoming shipments into Excel spreadsheets
• Review allocated and picked quantities
• Create new SO shippers – with a click of a button
• Import third party shippers into QAD
• Validate shipper details against QAD using genuine QAD logic
• Efficiently utilize existing QAD functionality
• Have greater control over shipping process
• Reduce turnaround time while increasing accuracy and efficiency
Do you have a similar Data Loader for supplier schedules?
Yes. Please contact us at contact@32soft.com to request a free trial of Supplier Schedule Data Loader or arrange a demo.
Is there an upcoming webinar for supplier schedules?
There is not one planned at this time but is under consideration. We can always arrange a demo with you for any of our Data Loaders or you can review a demo for this product here.
How many lines can you process with this Data Loader at a time?
We set a 20,000 line limit for this Data Loader. This number can be increased, if requested. To find out more about massive data loads with Data Loaders, click here
Will a blank line inserted between data lines stop the processing?
In most of our Data Loaders, 2 blank lines inserted between data lines will mark the end of data for upload.
Assuming we get shipment information from a 3rd party partner with a specific lot number, can we process the shipment transaction using this utility as well as creating the shipper?
Yes. In order to do so, we will need to add two customizations to the generic version we demonstrated here. First, we will need to add a custom “Open File” function. It will be specific for your file format and will import shipment details from the external file into the SO Shipper Data Loader. Secondly, we will need to add a custom “Confirm Shipper” function that will run the 7.9.5 Pre-Shipper/Shipper Confirm QAD function for each selected shipper. Currently, the generic version of SO Shipper Data Loader does not have such option. Or you can run 7.9.7 Pre-Shipper/Shipper Auto Confirm function in QAD to confirm (and ship) all shippers created through the Loader.
When a sales order line item is serial controlled and has an order quantity greater than 1, how does the Data Loader handle the serial’s input?
If you run QAD allocation prior to downloading data into SO Shipper Data Loader, serial number allocation is handled by QAD. You can also enter allocation details manually in the Loader. Prior to creating a shipper, the Loader runs data validation. If quantity for a serially controlled item is greater than 1, the Loader will return an error and will not allow the creation of a shipper until the error is fixed.
Does this tool generate a bill of lading?
The SO Shipper Data Loader generates a shipper. If your bills of lading are based on unconfirmed shippers, then yes, you can also print a bill of lading after the shipper is created through SO Shipper Data Loader. If your bills of lading are based on the invoices or confirmed shippers, then you need to confirm the shipper in QAD and then print out your bill of lading.
Does this Data Loader work with all versions of QAD EE, say 2012.1, or just the more recent versions like 2014?
This Data Loader works with all QAD versions starting from QAD eB2.1 and up (which includes versions 2012.1 and 2014).
Will you be demonstrating these solutions at Explore?
Yes we will. Please stop by our booth at QAD Explore to learn more about this and many other 32 Soft Data Loaders.
