Warehousing order
initiates and controls transactions in Warehousing. The
transactions can be generated either manually or automatically within other
packages or modules. All the inventory transactions in Warehousing are initiated
and controlled by using warehouse orders. One or more warehousing order
controls the inventory movement and the related inventory movement account from
a simple transfer order to a complicated receipt. Inventory Planning of Warehousing tracks planned
inventory transactions and also provides the option to generate supply orders
through planning methods like SIC (Statistical Inventory Control), TPOP (Time Phased Order Point) and Kanban.
Manual entry of warehouse orders
You can directly
(manually) create warehousing orders, which do not originate from other orders,
such as sales orders or purchase orders.
The following types of manual warehouse orders
exist:
Sales (Manual)
Purchase (Manual)
Service (Manual)
Maintenance Sales (Manual)
Maintenance Work (Manual)
SFC Production (Manual)

After you create a warehousing order and an outbound order
line and/or an inbound order line, a report can be printed.
Inbound order lines consist of the activities that relate to the receipt of goods in a
warehouse. An inbound order line provides detailed information about planned
receipts and actual receipts, such as:
Outbound order lines consist of the activities that relate to the issue of goods from a
warehouse and the preparation of these goods for shipment. An outbound order
line provides detailed information about planned issues and actual issues, such
as:
Warehousing assembly orders are used to collect goods in order to assemble them into
one item/kit. Warehousing assembly orders transform goods within the warehouse.
In a warehousing assembly order you can pick and combine items to produce an
end item that remains in the warehouse. When a warehousing assembly order is
created, these lines are generated:
Outbound-order lines for each component of the kit to be
transferred to the assembly warehouse or location.
An inbound-order line to store the item to be
assembled.
Inventory disposition is an alternative method to handle
rejected inventory. After you receive an initial rejection for received items,
you can use Inventory disposition to manage follow up activities, such as
scrapping, reworking, returning, or using the inventory "as is".
