10/28/2019, 11:41 AMThis weeks fun question, In the scope of Sales Orders our 3pl Will not allow for an SO to be used for more than one Full Truck Load / Container, Due to their documentation and export docs etc. However some customers request one order number for multiple containers that has to match their documentation. Bit of a nightmare, has anyone else had to do a solution for similar?

10/28/2019, 4:03 PMFYI - we run a process similar to this. All orders are "master orders" which create child SOs based on specific criteria. Fulfillment and invoicing is done on the child order level. The management of this system is a nightmare and every native process is essentially broken by it (reports, templates, CC processing...) and will need some type of remediation. Just be ready for the lift required to make this even understandable to your customers as you're trying to tell them that their item shipped on SO12345, when they ordered on SO12334
