Consolidating sales schedule lines Infor LN 10 Schedule approval and planned warehouse order handling often result in multiple planned warehouse orders for the same item. For referenced schedules, each schedule line has a linked planned warehouse order line. In case of multiple updates or partial shipments, many planned warehouse order lines and outbound lines will be created and the same item may appear several times on a single shipment. Infor LN 10.2.1 In the Sales Contract Line Logistic Data (tdsls3102m000) session, you can select the following new check boxes to reduce the number of planned warehouse orders:
Packaging references For referenced shipping schedules and sequence shipping schedules, the following packaging reference fields were added:
In Sales, these fields are informational. In Warehousing, these fields are used for packaging. The Packaging Reference A and Packaging Reference B fields were added to the following sessions:
Consolidating references If the Allow Consolidation of References check box is selected, several referenced schedule lines can be combined in one planned warehouse order for the same Shipment Reference. Schedule lines are combined in the same planned warehouse order if the sales schedule line fields are the same, except for these fields, which can differ:
If schedule lines differ in, for example, price information or sales unit, they cannot be consolidated. In this case, multiple planned warehouse orders can be created for the same shipment reference. When no delivery pattern or pattern moment can be found, the planned warehouse order's Requirement Start Date is filled with the date from the earliest schedule line with the applicable shipment reference. This date is used for all schedule lines with this shipment reference. When a valid delivery moment can be found, this date is used for the schedule lines with the applicable shipment reference. No backorders can be created for planned warehouse orders with consolidated references. These orders are completely shipped or the remaining quantity is canceled. Reference distribution If a planned warehouse order line is linked to one or more referenced schedule lines, the references are stored in a reference distribution. If the Allow Consolidation of References check box is cleared, the reference distribution contains only one (schedule) line. If the Allow Consolidation of References check box is selected, multiple lines are available in the distribution. These reference distribution sessions were added: A reference distribution is also available below the shipment line. The shipment line reference distribution is passed to the Sales Schedule Actual Delivery Line Reference Distribution (tdsls3542m000) session where the shipped quantities are added to the schedule lines with a matching reference. If a reference occurs more than once, the first one is fulfilled first. You can also use the Sales Schedule Actual Delivery Line Reference Distribution (tdsls3542m000) session to specify invoice corrections.
