Outbound Transactions

This section includes these transactions:

Picking

Use the Picking transaction to pick items allocated for usage. Using the outbound advice logic of Infor LN, the scanner directs you as to which item quantities to pick and from which stock points. You can sort these stock points by location to improve picking efficiency.

Using the transaction parameters, you can require that item number, lot number, inventory date, location, and handling unit be scanned for verification to improve operational discipline.

See Picking Items.

Allocate Release

Use the Allocate Release transaction to pick items for orders that are not associated with a pick list. With this transaction, you can decide from which locations items should be picked. You can configure the transaction to automatically generate and release outbound allocations when items are picked.

See Picking Items for Orders Without a Pick List.

Release Outbound

Use the Release Outbound transaction to release order lines for shipment or to confirm a pick list.

See Releasing Outbound Order Lines.

Shipment Handling

Use the Shipment Handling transaction to manage shipments. You can use this transaction to:

  • confirm shipments
  • freeze shipments
  • unfreeze shipments
  • print packing slips
  • print bills of lading

See Managing Shipments.

Return From Staging

Use the Return from Staging transaction to return items from the staging area back into inventory when a shipment has been canceled or modified. You can only return items from staging that are previously released by a Picking or Release Outbound transaction and when the original shipment is confirmed.

See Returning Items from Staging.
