The Active Project Status view is an excellent way to keep track of the shipping status of your active projects.
To view the Active Project Status View:
Step 1 Click on Projects in the main menu bar.
Step 2 Click the View pull down and select Active Project Statuses
The Active Project Status View is shown below.
The Late Column
The calendar icon in the Late column will appear on the row next to a project that has one or more purchase orders shipping later than requested by your firm.
Click the calendar icon to view the purchase orders that are shipping later than requested. You will then need to decide:
1.Cancel the PO and order it elsewhere
2.Change your requested date so it is the same as the vendor's ship date. This will cause the calendar icon to disappear.
The Alert Column
The exclamation icon in the Alert column will appear on the row next to a project that has one or more item that have not arrived by the "Estimated Arrival Date".
Click on the exclamation icon to view the items that need to be tracked down so you can call the shipper or the warehouse for updates.
