Shipment Building

In Infor LN FP6 the shipment building functionality is enhanced in the Warehouses (whwmd2500m000) session (Shipments tab) to allow the user to influence the way picked outbound advices are combined into the same shipment. In this way it is possible to better manage / minimize the number of shipments generated by the system to the same customer.

Shipment Building in FP5

In Infor LN FP5 the Ship-to Addresses on the shipments must match for additional shipment lines to be added to the initial shipment.

Shipment Building in FP6

In Infor LN FP6 the shipment building engine combines multiple shipments into the same load in case the Ship-from Address, the Carrier and the Route on these shipments are identical. This implies that no new loads are created in case the Ship-to address of the (additional) shipment differs.

A new shipment building option Within Time Interval is added. The Within Time Interval option allows the user to add shipment lines to an existing shipment order within the time interval range. The time interval range is calculated based on the minimum and maximum time interval specified by the user.
