Use this session to view the activities to be carried out for an outbound-order line.

This session also displays an overview of the quantities that are updated when the activities are carried out.

Inventory Unit
The inventory unit in which the quantities are expressed.
Item
In LN, the raw materials, subassemblies, finished products, and tools that can be purchased, stored, manufactured, sold, and so on.

An item can also represent a set of items handled as one kit, or exist in multiple product variants.

You can also define nonphysical items, which are not held in inventory but can be used to post costs or to invoice services to customers. The following are examples of nonphysical items:

  • Cost items (for example, electricity)
  • Service items
  • Subcontracting services
  • List items (menus/options)
Order Type
A code that identifies the type of a warehousing order. The default warehousing procedure that you link to a warehousing order type determines how the warehousing orders to which the order type is allocated are processed in the warehouse, although you can modify the default procedure for individual warehousing orders or order lines.

LN retrieves the warehousing-order type from the Warehousing Orders (whinh2100m000) session.

Order
The order set groups order lines of the same order together according to the following attributes:
  • Ship-from partner
  • Ship-to partner
  • Ship-from address
  • Ship-to address
  • Carrier
  • Shipping date
  • Original company
Canceled
If this check box is selected, the outbound-order line must be canceled. The outbound procedure must be followed. Cancellation is finalized during confirm picking or confirm shipment/load. In this scenario, the original order line must remain, until the outbound-order line is deleted or receives the Shipped status.
Note

If the outbound-order line is of a manual order origin and the originating order of the outbound-order line is canceled, LN always selects the current check box and does not delete the outbound-order line, irrespective of:

  • The outbound-order line's status.
  • The value of the Remove Canceled Outbound Order Lines Till field in the Warehousing Order Type (whinh0110m000) session.
Automatic
Yes: The activity is automatically performed.

No: The user manually performs the activity using the corresponding session.

Planned Quantity in Inventory Unit
The ordered quantity, expressed in the inventory unit.
Inventory Unit
The unit of measure in which the inventory of an item is recorded, such as piece, kilogram, box of 12, or meter.

The inventory unit is also used as the base unit in measure conversions, especially for conversions that concern the order unit and the price unit on a purchase order or a sales order. These conversions always use the inventory unit as the base unit. An inventory unit therefore applies to all item types, also to item types that cannot be kept in stock.

The quantity of items for the inbound order line, expressed in the inventory unit.
Alert
Additional information about the inbound order line's status.

Order
An order for handling goods in the warehouse.

A warehouse order can be of the following inventory-transaction types:

  • Receipt
  • Issue
  • Transfer
  • WIP Transfer

Each order has an origin and contains all the information required for warehouse handling. Depending on the item (lot or non-lot) and warehouse (with or without locations), lots and/or locations can be assigned. The order follows a predefined warehousing procedure.

Note

In Manufacturing a warehousing order is often called a warehouse order.

Create Order Line Activities
Use this command to generate the activities that make up the warehousing order procedure for the order line.

This command is available if no activities exist for the selected order line. Activities exist for the order line in either of the following cases:

  • After order processing for the order line has started and the first activity is carried out.
  • If you previously used this command to create activities.

After you click this command, the activities of the warehousing order header of the current order line are copied to the Activities by Outbound Order Line (whinh2124m000) session. In this session, you can adjust these activities to define the order procedure for the current order line.

Open
Displays the outbound order lines for which a following activity is present.

For example, outbound order lines that have been released for which the picking lists are still to be generated.
