What is JIT ( Just In Time)?
JIT can be set against a customer in the Preferences screen within the sales program. JIT will allow you to despatch goods for particular customers so the goods arrive with the customer on the day that they requested the order to be delivered. JIT takes into account the amount of delivery time in days an item will take to despatch to a customer from the delivery code that has been input on the order. As long as there is available stock which has been allocated to the order, the JIT feature will put the order on the Goods Out queue before the goods need to be with the customer. When the delivery codes are setup in management it is vital for a time period to be specified against the delivery code for the JIT function to function correctly. Example: A customer orders 100 pcs of part number ABC123 for delivery on the Monday 25th October 2005 by standard courier. Standard Courier delivery days = 2 All stock allocated. The goods will appear on the goods out queue on Wednesday 20th October 20
