Shipment and load status

Shipments, shipment lines, and loads can have the following statuses:

• Open

  You can:

  • Adjust the quantities on shipment lines.
  • Add or remove shipment lines from shipments
  • Add or remove shipments from Shipping container status or loads
  • Move shipments to other shipping containers or loads
  • Add shipping containers to a load
• You cannot print shipment documents and you cannot ship the shipment.
• Partially Frozen

  The Partially Frozen status is assigned if handling units are in use, and you freeze the shipment line at the handling unit level. Only shipment lines can be assigned the Partially Frozen status. If multiple handling units are linked to a shipment line, a few of the handling units must be set to Frozen. In case of Partially Frozen shipment lines, LN assigns the Frozen status to confirmed handling units and its children. After all the handling units linked to a shipment line are set to Frozen, the shipment line is assigned the Frozen status.

  You cannot update the shipment line anymore unless triggered by an already linked open handling unit.

• Frozen
  The picked goods are at the staging area of the warehouse and are ready for shipment. You can print shipment documents and ship the shipment. You can generate handling units.

  You cannot change the loads, shipping containers, shipments, and shipment lines, except for the following fields:

  • Carrier Tracking Number (shipment)
  • Tracking Number (shipment)
  • Inventory Adjustment Date (shipment line)

  If other changes are required, you must reopen the shipment lines first. For more information, refer to Reopen.
• Confirming

  The Confirming status is assigned if handling units are in use, and you confirm the shipment at handling unit level. Shipment lines can be assigned the Confirming status only when multiple handling units linked to a shipment line and a few of the handling units are shipped/confirmed. Shipment confirmation by handling units may result in partially confirmed shipment lines. When a shipment line is partially confirmed, the confirmed handling unit and its children are assigned the Shipped status and the shipment line is assigned the Confirming status. Stock and financial updates are not performed at this stage. After all handling units linked to the shipment line are set to Shipped status, the shipment line is assigned the Confirmed status. You can then perform the stock and financial updates.

  You cannot update the shipment line data unless triggered by already linked open handling unit. Transactional updates with respect to inventory, finance, originating module and so on, are not possible. In LN, shipment headers cannot be assigned the Confirming status

• Confirmed
  The goods have been shipped and are actually leaving the warehouse. LN performs financial and inventory transactions for the shipped items. You can print shipment documents for the goods.
