To define warehousing procedures

Initially, you define a warehousing procedure and link this procedure to a particular warehousing order type. As a result, the warehousing procedure is the default procedure for the warehousing orders to which the order type is allocated, and the goods are processed according to the procedure of the order on which the goods are listed.

If you use handling units to process goods into and/or out of the warehouse, the goods are processed according to the warehousing procedure of the warehousing orders that list the goods contained in the handling units.

You can adjust the default procedure for individual warehousing orders and warehousing order lines of this warehousing order type. If you adjust the default procedure for an individual warehousing order of this order type, the adjusted procedure applies to the inbound and/or outbound order lines of the warehousing order. You can also adjust the warehousing procedure for an individual inbound or outbound order line. For further information, see How to modify warehousing procedures.

You can specify whether an activity of a warehousing procedure must be carried out manually or automatically. Manually means that the user must perform the activity using the session related to the activity. Automatic means that the activity is carried out automatically after the preceding activity is finished. If the first activity is automatic for warehousing orders generated from orders originating from other packages, this activity is carried out the moment the warehousing order is generated. For information on how to define a warehousing procedure and specifying whether the activities of the procedure are carried out manually or automatically, see How to define a warehousing procedure.

However, to trigger warehouse processing for warehousing orders whose first activity is set to automatic processing and that are manually created or generated from Project, you must click Process.
