About

  • Purpose: Packages shipped in response to a customer order (
  1. REDIRECT Template:l/vc/table)
  • Refers to: core_orders (parent), ord_shipmt
  • Used by: ord_pkg_lines (child)
  • Fields:
    • WhenFinished: I'm going to go out on a limb and define this as the time when the package charges are added up and created as order transaction records.
    • WhenChecked: When the package was marked as ready (checked off) for inclusion in the shipment
      • This field may be less useful in the web-based UI than it was in the Access/desktop UI.
    • WhenVoided: We're not deleting packages anymore. Instead, we mark an emptied, unsent package as "VOID", and log it in the container record. Voided package records can be re-used if they aren't assigned to a closed shipment; log the un-voiding prior to re-use. (Should there be a "WhenLocked" field to represent the shipment being closed? Maybe WhenFinished does this...) A package should never be voided without first zeroing stock in all line items.
  • ChgShipItm: total charged for per-item shipping
  • ChgShipPkg: amount charged for per-package shipping
  • Notes:
    • The field "ArrivalNotes" should be added to the message log; leaving it out of the migration for this table.
  • History:
    • 2010-10-19 Added ChgShipItm, ChgShipPkg to complete the record of what was charged for the package.
