Shipments

Shipping is managed directly from the Sales Orders page — there is no separate Shipments list. When a sales order is ready to fulfil, you ship it from within that order’s detail view.

Shipping a sales order

1. Go to Sales → Sales Orders
2. Open the order you want to ship
3. Click Ship and confirm the lines and quantities being dispatched
4. The order status updates and ledger entries are posted to reduce on-hand stock

What gets recorded

When a shipment is posted, Atrope records:

• Which items and quantities left your facility
• The lot or serial number for each line (if tracked)
• The source location the stock was picked from
• The timestamp and the user who posted the shipment

This information flows directly into the inventory ledger, so you can always trace which specific lot or unit went to which customer order.

Partial shipments

You can ship a sales order in multiple passes. Ship what’s available now — the order remains open until all lines are fully fulfilled.

Returns

If a customer returns goods, receive the return against the original sales order. A Return In ledger entry is posted, and the stock is added back to the designated returns location.
