If you have completed your list and are ready to dispatch, you can dispatch your equipment by pressing the "Dispatch to New" button in the Data Action Window.

This will bring up the Dispatch Form:

dispatch4

The Req column shows the quantity requested or the maximum quantity that can be dispatched from the list. For instance if there are 6 requested and 5 already dispatched then the Req column will show 1.

This Disp column shows how many are being sent. Click your mouse on the equipment type description to check out the equipment. As you do this the Req column will begin decreasing until it reaches zero, which indicates the order for that type has been filled. You may also type the number directly into the Disp column, or if you need to lower quantity sent, you can right click your mouse to decrease the quantity sent. The type will then change to italics to indicate that the order is full as shown:

dispatch5

To fill the whole order in one step, press the dispatch6 button. The Req will show all 0's the Disp column will be complete, and all equipment will appear in italics.

If an equipment list has a dispatch note or notes created, these will appear in the Navigator Window below the equipment list on the tree. You may review these dispatch notes as needed.
