How to: Use Filters to Get Source Documents

From a new or an open warehouse receipt or warehouse shipment, you can use the Filters to Get Source Docs. window to retrieve the released source document lines that define which items to receive or ship.

  4. To set up a new filter, enter a descriptive code in the Code field, and then click Modify.

    The Source Document Filter Card window appears. The caption of the window includes Inbound if you are using the filter function to get receipt lines, or Outbound if you are preparing a shipment.
