If the software has been configured for the use of WIP locations, no shipping notes can be processed for parts of a 'Purchase' or 'Production' origin until a purchase order or production order has been filled in.

The use of WIP locations can be configured in the General Settings module (Settings folder, Basic data form, Settings tab). Select the WIP location active if Purchase origin, Sales destination check box and/or the WIP location active if Production origin, Sales destination check box to temporarily save the parts purchased or produced. For each part you can specify that you are working with temporary locations for that part. To do so, select the Active check box in the Parts module (Parts form, Logistics tab).

The Purchase order or Production field will be filled automatically if you are using WIP locations and the WIP location field contains only one line corresponding to the data stated on the shipping note.
