Name
Enter up to thirty alphanumeric characters to name the inventory shipment.
Source Type
The source type defaults to the type selected when you accessed the source maintenance option. To change to another type, click on the drop-down box arrow.

Default Division
Even if your company uses divisions, an entry in the division field is optional.

To display a selection list of the valid divisions, click on the Lookup button.
Department
The department defaults to the department assigned in the Fiber Procurement System Control file. If you use a separate department to record your timber transactions, you should assign the department in the system control file. The department assigned there will default to the inventory shipment, and the inventory shipment department will default to the ticket. To display a selection list of the valid divisions, press Enter, or click on the Lookup button.
