Use Simultaneous Operation Maint (7.10.13) to set up the simultaneous operation, which enables you to create a shipping and a sales legal document at the same time. Generally this operation works in two ways.

You must set Consignment to Yes if this is a consignment order. You can apply different tax usage to the shipping and the sales legal documents by entering different codes in the Sales Tax Usage and Shipping Tax Usage fields.

Enter a valid tax usage code to be used for selecting the tax rate in the sales legal document. Generally, this is the same tax usage code specified for the sales order.

When Maintain Operation Type in Tax Usage is Yes in Legal Document Control, the operation type defined for the tax usage must be 11 Sales or 12 Other.

Enter the ship-from site in the sales order.

Enter the address for invoicing the customer. Generally, this is the ship-to address in the sales order rather than the actual ship-to address.

Optionally, enter an existing sales order number.

Specify whether this simultaneous operation setup applies to the consignment process: Yes for consignment and No for simultaneous.

For customer consignment sales orders, when Simultaneous Operation Maintenance is enabled there will not only be the shipping legal document generated as normal practice to show the legality of the shipment, and record the related shipping tax in the document. There is also the sales legal document generated during the consumption of a customer consignment order to record the related sales tax and accounts receivable (AR) amount in the document.

Enter a valid tax usage code to be used as the tax rate in the shipping legal document.

Enter the actual address that the inventory is shipped to. This is an additional address that is not displayed on the sales order.
