In case multiple lot numbers exist, no value is specified in this field.

Serial Number

The unique identification of a single physical item. LN uses a mask to generate the serial number. The serial number can consist of multiple data segments that represent, for example, a date, model and color information, sequence number, and so on.

Serial numbers can be generated for items and for tools.

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.

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.

Stock Point Details Present

To register lot numbers, click Stock Point Details.

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 Shipment Line Stock Point Details (whinh4133m000) session. To start the Shipment Line Stock Point Details (whinh4133m000) session, proceed as follows:

  • In the Shipment Lines (whinh4131m000) session, from the References menu, go to Shipment Line--> Stock Point Details.
Packaging
Package Definition

A particular configuration of items and their packaging. A package definition for an item can, for example, be the following: a pallet contains 12 boxes and each box contains 4 pieces.

Handling Unit(s) Present

If this check box is selected, handling units exist for the shipment line. The check box is selected when at least one handling unit is stored in the Shipment Line Handling Units (whinh4534m000) session.

Note

The check box is disabled when:

  • Handling units are not used. Use the Warehouse Master Data Parameters (whwmd0500m000) session or the Warehouse - Item (whwmd2110s000) session to determine if the handling units are used.

  • You create the shipment lines manually.

Specific Packaging

LN selects the check box when the handling unit generated on the shipment line is based on an alternative packaging definition or is based on a shipment line specific handling unit template. By default, the check box is clear. For more information, refer to Shipment Line Specific Handling Unit Template

Note

To implement the Specific Packaging functionality, you must select the Handling Units in Use check box in the Master Data Parameters (whwmd0100s000) session.

Quantity
Ordered Quantity

The planned issue quantity.

Picked

The quantity of items picked for the shipment line.

If the Warehouse Inspections (whinh3122m000) session is part of the outbound procedure, the items must be inspected before you can ship them. During inspections, items can be rejected. The rejection of items causes a difference between the Picked Quantity on the Outbound Order Lines (whinh2120m000) session and the Picked Quantity on the Shipment Lines (whinh4131m000) session. So, if the Warehouse Inspections (whinh3122m000) session is part of the outbound procedure, the quantity in the current field is the approved picked quantity.

Example

You have an outbound order line with picked quantity 50. You approve 49 items and reject 1 item in the Warehouse Inspections (whinh3122m000) session. This results in the following:

  • The picked quantity on the Shipment Lines (whinh4131m000) session becomes 49.
  • The approved quantity on the Outbound Order Lines (whinh2120m000) session becomes 49.
  • The rejected quantity on the Outbound Order Lines (whinh2120m000) session becomes 1.

If the Warehouse Inspections (whinh3122m000) session is not part of the outbound procedure, the Picked Quantity on the Outbound Order Lines (whinh2120m000) session and the Picked Quantity on the Shipment Lines (whinh4131m000) session are the same.

Shipped Quantity

The actual quantity of goods on the shipment.

The default Shipped Quantity is equal to the Picked Quantity.

If the shipment line is not yet confirmed, you can manually decrease the Shipped Quantity. If you decrease the Shipped Quantity, LN increases the Not Shipped Quantity in Inventory Unit in the current session and the Expected Not Shipped Quantity in the Outbound Order Lines (whinh2120m000) session.
