Outbound Advice (whinh4525m000)

Use this session to view and maintain outbound advice.

You can modify outbound advice in the Process Outbound Advice (whinh4200m000) session. In this session, you can also enter the details of an outbound advice created in the Outbound Advice (whinh4525m000) session.

As long as the inventory is not retrieved from the advised locations, you can maintain the advised outbound quantities. You can change the values of the Run field and the Picking Sequence field, as long as the picking list is not yet printed.

Only outbound data from warehousing-order lines with the following statuses can be maintained in this session:

  • Open
  • Advised
  • Released
Note

You can view the peg distribution data for the selected outbound advice using the Peg Distribution option from the References menu.

When the shipment is created, that is, when the Picked check box is selected, the advice line can be deleted.

To print a checklist for all components of the BOM lines of the outbound advice, perform the following steps:

  1. In this session, on the appropriate menu, choose BOM Lines.
  2. In the Outbound Order Line BOM (whinh2527m000) session, on the File menu, choose Print, then BOM Lines.
  3. In the Print Outbound Order Line BOM, specify a range, then click Print.
Inventory ownership

If the vendor managed inventory (VMI) functionality is used, you can view and maintain inventory ownership records in the Outbound Advice Ownership (whinh4128m000) session. An inventory ownership record specifies the owner or owners of the items listed on the outbound advice line.

Inventory ownership records are either generated or manually created, this depends on the ownership settings and the available inventory. For further details, see Outbound Advice Ownership (whinh4128m000)

To start the Outbound Advice Ownership (whinh4128m000) session, click Ownership in the appropriate menu.

For further information on ownership and vendor managed inventory, see Inventory ownership in Warehouse Management and Vendor managed inventory

Low volume scenario

In the low volume scenario, LN uses the first in, first out or last in, first out outbound methods to fill this field with one of the available serial numbers stored in inventory. To change the value of this field, zoom to the Item - Serials and Warehouses (whltc5100m000) session and select a serial number for which the Available check box is selected. For further information, see To register serial numbers in the low volume scenario.

High volume scenario

In the high volume scenario, this field is unavailable. To register serial numbers for serialized items that you issue, see To register serial numbers in the high volume scenario.

Outbound Advice Lots and Serials Incomplete
If this check box is selected, not all serial numbers or lot numbers of the advised lot items or serialized items are registered.

To register lot numbers, click Lots and Serials.

To register the serial numbers of the item to be shipped, click Link Serial(s). In the Serialized Items (tcibd4501m000) that appears you can link the available serial numbers to the items listed on the shipment line.

Note that if no serial numbers are available, or an insufficient number of serial numbers is available, you can generate serial numbers in the Outbound Advice Serials (whinh4126m000) session. Click Serials, next to this check box, to start the Outbound Advice Serials (whinh4126m000) session.

It is only mandatory to register the serial numbers of advised items, if the following apply:

  • No, you can save the outbound advice.
  • Warn, you can save the outbound advice, but you get a warning.
  • Block, you cannot save the outbound advice.

  • Warehouse Inspections (whinh3122m000)

Picking Mission
Picking Sequence
A sequence number used to print the picking list.
From Handling Unit
The original handling unit in which the goods were received in the warehouse. Sometimes, handling units are split up into several smaller handling units. The split-off smaller handling units are the to-handling units, which are displayed in the To Handling Unit d. If the original handling unit is not split up, the same handling unit is displayed in this field and the To Handling Unit field.

For example, if the original handling unit is a pallet containing several boxes, you can split up the handling unit into the smaller (child) handling units representing the boxes and then create outbound advice for the boxes.

To Handling Unit
The handling unit for which the outbound advice is created. If this handling unit was created from another handling unit, the original handling unit from which this handling unit is created is displayed in the From Handling Unit field.

For example, if the original handling unit is a pallet containing several boxes, you can split up the handling unit into the smaller (child) handling units representing the boxes and then create outbound advice for the boxes. The split-off smaller handling units are the to-handling units.

Reference
A reference code to which the inventory was allocated.

LN can use the inventory specified by this record to fulfill a demand specified by this reference and for no other purpose.

LN can use this field in two ways:

  • If the Business Partner field is filled, LN uses the Reference field to record a reference code defined by a customer.
  • If the Business Partner field is empty, LN uses the Reference field to record an internal reference.

You can use a reference code to keep a collection of parts linked together, even if they follow different routings, for example, if some of the parts are transported to a subcontractor to be returned later.

Product Variant
Product Variant
The description or name of the code.
Option List ID

The ASN specifications include the option list ID. The ASN specifications are populated from the Inbound Order Lines (whinh2110m000) session. In turn, the specifications on the inbound order line are populated from the purchase schedule line.

For configurable purchased items in Warehousing, only the option list ID is part of the specifications. This means that inventory is maintained per option list ID and is the total of inventory of all product variants with the same option list ID.

Note
  • The field is displayed only if the Assembly Control (ASC) check box is selected in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session.

  • The field is populated only for configurable purchased items and manufactured assembly (FAS) items.

 

Option List
Displays the options and features that are linked to the option list ID. For more information, refer to.
Link Serial(s)
Use this command to start the Serialized Items (tcibd4501m000) session to link serial numbers to the items of the outbound advice line. The serial numbers that you link are displayed in the Outbound Advice Serials (whinh4126m000) session.

If the serial number that you select in the Serialized Items (tcibd4501m000) session is linked to an item listed in the outbound advice, a message to that effect appears when you close the Serialized Items (tcibd4501m000) session. In that case, you must generate new serial numbers in the Outbound Advice Serials (whinh4126m000) session.
