  • The Warehouse Orders module handles the issue of materials and receipts of finished products.
  • The Warehouse Orders module is also involved in the posting of financial transactions and the handling of inspection orders.

Planned inventory transactions

When you create production orders in the Shop Floor Control module, the Inventory Planning module registers the order's planned inventory transactions. The Inventory Planning module also registers:

Warehousing orders

The Warehouse Orders module handles the issue of materials and receipts of finished products with warehousing orders. The warehousing order determines:

LN creates a warehousing order when you release a production order. When you modify the estimated materials, the warehousing order is updated automatically. You can control the issue of materials in several ways. For more information, refer to Overview of material issue.

Inventory transactions

LN records all inventory transactions in the Warehouse Orders module in Warehousing. LN uses these inventory transactions to create the appropriate financial transactions. For more information, refer to Integrations of SFC with finance.

When a component is issued, or when an end product is received, the warehousing order triggers the inspection order associated with the production order.

Generation of production orders

Items with order system SIC are planned in the Inventory Analysis module in Warehousing. You can transfer these orders to the Shop Floor Control module.
