Committing bills of lading

Committed is a document status that indicates that a document has been exported from SmartTurn and sent to a third party application, such as an accounting package.

Only documents that are already in status Closed can be committed. Documents that are committed can never be edited in SmartTurn again, because a third party application is now relying on the information in that document to remain unchanged. For example, if you export a shipment to QuickBooks, marking the shipment as Committed lets SmartTurn know that QuickBooks is depending on the information in the shipment, for instance to create an invoice or to update a general ledger.

To commit a bill of lading:

Select Wave Fulfillment>Bills of lading. A list of bills of lading appears.
Highlight the bill of lading you want to commit, then select Commit up above. Only bills of lading that are already in Status Closed can be committed.
