Unconfirm Shipper
You have the option of undoing or reversing a confirmed shipper. Unconfirming a shipper returns it to the pre-confirmed state, allowing it to be:
• Modified
• Canceled
• Reprinted
• Reconfirmed
Shipper Unconfirm
Use Shipper Unconfirm (7.9.21) to unconfirm a confirmed shipper. In order for a shipper to be unconfirmed, the following criteria must be met:
• The shipper must have been confirmed
• Selection of the shipper must be permitted by both site security and inventory movement security
• The effective date must be in a valid, open GL fiscal period for all entities with inventory affected by the confirmed shipper
• Sites and locations where the inventory was issued from must still exist
Note: If a confirmed shipper does not meet the above criteria and you try to unconfirm it, the system displays an error message.
When unconfirming a shipper the system does the following:
• Reverses the movement of inventory out of the ship-from site/location/lot-serial for each shipped line and container
• Reverses any automatic transfer made between the inventory site of each line item and container, and the ship-from site of the shipper
• Creates IC and SO GL transactions, reversing the GL transactions created at the original confirmation
• Creates intercompany transactions, as necessary
• Reverses modifications to sales order fields updated at confirmation, including:
• Line item quantities
• Calculated freight charges included in the price
• Schedule details
• Updates the MRP to reflect items returned to inventory
• Creates reversing entries to Global Tax Management history
• Cancels the accompanying legal document
Unconfirming a shipper does not do any of the following:
• Fully populate all fields of re-created location and lot/serial records. If such information is required—for example, the unconfirmed shipper is not going to be reconfirmed—you must enter the information manually
• Fully reverse changes to GL average costs for line items. After the original confirmation, average costs could have been changes and recorded in various other transactions that are not reversible if other receipts or issues were made in that time period
• Reverse trailer amounts entered or modified during or following the original confirmation
• Reverse the issue of any invoice numbers assigned during or following the original confirmation
