Consolidating planned warehouse orders

You can consolidate sales schedule lines by quantity and/or by date.

Consolidation by quantity means that multiple schedule lines are combined into one planned warehouse order. Consolidation by date means that shipments for scheduled items are consolidated into predefined delivery moments on planned warehouse orders.

Although consolidation of schedule lines reduces the number of planned warehouse orders, many planned warehouse orders can still exist for the same date. This may result in too many outbound lines and too many shipments for the same item and date.

For existing or new planned warehouse orders, new options were added to consolidate schedule line requirements for a specific requirement start date, including past requirements, into one planned warehouse order.

You can specify consolidation options for planned warehouse orders during or after schedule approval.

You can consolidate planned warehouse orders during approval in the Approve Sales Schedules (tdsls3211m000) and Approve Pick-up Sheets (tdsls3211m200) sessions.
