To release handling units

In the outbound flow, a handling unit must be linked to an outbound advice to be retrieved from the warehouse. A handling unit that is linked to an outbound advice has the Allocated status.

To release a handling unit, proceed as follows:

Step 1. Select a handling unit

In the Handling Units (whwmd5130m000) session, select the handling unit that you want to release.

Step 2. Select release option

On the appropriate menu of the Handling Units (whwmd5130m000) session, select the Execute Inbound sub-menu. From this sub-menu, select Release Outbound Advice. As a result, the handling unit is released. The handling unit obtains the Released status.

Alternatively, in the Release Outbound Advice (whinh4202m000) session you can release the outbound advice to which the handling unit is linked. To use the Release Outbound Advice (whinh4202m000) session to release the outbound advice, you can look up the outbound order to which the outbound advice is related in the Handling Unit Process Outbound (whinh2123m000) session first.

If required, you can use the Undo Release option from the Execute Inbound sub-menu of the appropriate menu to indicate that the goods are not moved to the staging location after all. This may be required, for example, if the goods or handling units turn out not to be present in the locations listed in the outbound advice, or if the goods are damaged.
