How to amend consignment reference in Receipts and Costings

To amend the consignment reference in Receipts and Costings:
  1. Clear the WinSIMS screen from any open windows; do not minimize but close all open WinSIMS windows.
  2. Without opening any new windows, go to Main > Purchases > Receipts and Costings, and browse to the consignment in question.
  3. Click on the Invoice Details tab.
  4. Double click Consignment Reference.

Some things to note:
  1. Please bear in mind that changing a consignment reference changes the reference of the whole consignment, so if there is more than one Invoice in the consignment, they will all change, not just the Invoice being amended.
  2. To be able to amend the consignment reference, the status of the consignment has to be either Open or Costed
