To generate and put away inbound adviceInbound advice are instructions to move received items into a warehouse. Therefore, an individual inbound advice line might read as follows: Take 10 pieces of item A from location Receipt 3 and put them in location Bulk 5. Inbound advice is normally generated according to the warehousing procedure defined for the warehousing order lines related to the receipt lines, inspection lines, or handling units for which inbound advice must be created, but you can also manually create inbound advice in the Inbound Advice (whinh3525m000) session. Note that for non-location controlled warehouses, LN skips the inbound advice step. Generate inbound advice When inbound advice is generated or entered, no inventory transactions have yet taken place. If the items are physically taken from one location and put away in the new location, LN updates inventory. The inventory is updated by means of the Put away command, which is discussed later in this topic. You can generate inbound advice in one of the following ways:
When you create an inbound advice line, the following changes take place:
Run numbers Runs are a useful way to group inbound advice lines. Instead of putting away or removing individual advice lines, you can specify a run number and process the advice lines that you allocate to that run number. Detailed report Generating inbound advice is a process that draws heavily on the system's capacity. Therefore, LN enables you to choose between the following types of reports:
Maintain inbound advice You can change the destination location and/or the quantity on any inbound advice line. You can also insert new advice lines, if required. Put away inbound advice The following methods are available to put away inbound advice:
If an inbound advice line is put away, LN reflects the physical movement of items, which results in the following changes:
Note For non-location controlled warehouses, LN automatically puts away goods after their receipt is confirmed. For more information, refer to Overview of receipt and inbound inspection procedures. Storage lists The bulk/ pick (destination) locations listed on inbound advice can be anywhere in the warehouse, which might result in an inefficient put away sequence. The storage list is used to make this sequence more efficient by, for example, including all items that must go to a specific location on one list. By confirming a storage list, you put away each advice line associated with the storage list. You can put away storage lists in the Storage List (whinh3525m100) session.
