Compose Shipment (whinh4231m000)

Use this session to split, move, or add shipment lines. You can also link the shipment to a load or shipping container.

Split shipment lines

A shipment may need to be split because it is too large for a single conveyance or carrier. This can be due to weight restrictions or the size of the shipment. Whether you must split a shipment or not is an operational decision with no impact on warehousing data or financial transactions.

To split a shipment line, on the appropriate menu, choose Split Line. The Split Line (whinh4231m100) session is started in which you can specify the quantity to split and the shipment, load, or shipping container to which the split quantity must be added.

Move shipment lines

You can move an entire shipment line or a part of a shipment line to:

  • Another, existing shipment.
  • One or more new shipments.

To move an entire shipment line to another shipment, on the appropriate menu, choose Move to Shipment. The Move to Shipment (whinh4231m200) session is started in which you can specify the shipment, load, or shipping container to which the shipment line must be moved.

Note

You can only move or split shipment lines with the Open status.

Add shipment lines

To add a shipment line to the shipment, on the appropriate menu, choose Find Shipment Lines. The Find Shipment Lines (whinh4831m000) session is started that you can use to find a shipment line to add to the shipment.

Note

You can only add shipment lines to the shipment if the shipment's status is Open.

Link shipment to load

To link the shipment to a load, on the appropriate menu, choose Link Shipment to Load. The Loads (whinh4140m000) session is started in which you can select the load to which the shipment must be linked.

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.
