How to amend consignment reference in Receipts and Costings
To amend the consignment reference in Receipts and Costings:
- Clear the WinSIMS screen from any open windows; do not minimize but close all open WinSIMS windows.
- Without opening any new windows, go to Main > Purchases > Receipts and Costings, and browse to the consignment in question.
- Click on the Invoice Details tab.
- Double click Consignment Reference.
Some things to note:
- 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.
- To be able to amend the consignment reference, the status of the consignment has to be either Open or Costed
