Process Outbound Advice (whinh4200m000)

Use this session to generate and/or release outbound advice for outbound-order lines that match the selected range.

In this session, you can do the following:

  • Choose Advise to generate outbound advice, which you can view in the Outbound Advice (whinh4525m000) session.
  • Choose Release Advice to release outbound advices. Releasing outbound advices confirms the outbound advices and makes it possible to create and print a picking list.
  • Choose Direct Release to generate and release outbound advices in one run.
  • Choose Undo to undo both the outbound advice's generation and the outbound advice's release for the selected outbound-order line, if available.
Note

You can select a range of orders or select specific orders to be processed:

  • To select specific orders, click Specific Order Selection. The Specific Order Selection (whinh2800m000) session is started in which you can select up to ten orders.
  • To process another selection of orders, click Reset Selection. As a result, LN removes the selection you made in the Specific Order Selection (whinh2800m000) session.
  • To make a new specific selection, click Specific Order Selection.

 

Shipping Selection Range
Run
A code assigned to a group of warehousing order lines when they are advised. LN assigns or generates a run number if a user does not manually enter or select a run number while he generates inbound or outbound advice for a group of warehousing order lines. This is the case if, for example, a user generates outbound advice by means of the Generate Advice command in the Outbound Order Lines (whinh2120m000) session. LN assigns run numbers by user. For example, all inbound advice generated by user A on a particular day obtain a particular run number, and those generated by user B obtain another run number. For outbound movements, the user can release outbound advice, generate picking lists, and confirm picking lists by run. For inbound movements, the user can generate storage lists and confirm storage lists by run.
Note

If you select a run assigned to not fully processed outbound advice, while in the Run (whinh4100s000) session, the Always Allow Reuse check box is cleared, a dialog box appears prompting you to select one of the following:

  • No to skip this run.
  • Yes to reuse this run for the current instance.
  • Always Allow Reuse to always allow reuse of this run.

The latter option results in automatic selection of the Always Allow Reuse check box in the Run (whinh4100s000) session.
