Example of the Generate Shipments optionsExample
If you generate and release outbound advice for warehousing order 100123, based on the option specified, LN generates the following shipments, shipment date ranges, and shipment lines: Option Per Exact Planned Delivery Date/Time
Option For Planned Delivery Date
Option Up to and Incl. Planned Delivery Date
When the outbound advice is released, outbound order line 10 is processed first. While creating a shipment line for outbound order line 10, LN creates the shipment header and fills the date ranges for the Shipment Date Interval and Shipment Date/Time To fields. LN leaves the Shipment Date Interval field empty and fills the Shipment Date/Time To with the latest planned delivery date present in the outbound advice, which in this example is 4 February 14:00, and sets the time for this date to 23:59. Because the planned delivery dates of all outbound order lines are before 4 February 14:00, LN adds all of the resulting shipment lines to the shipment. Option Within Time Interval When multiple suitable shipments exist with a valid shipment interval, the additional pick will be linked to the shipment with the earliest shipment interval start date. Example: Generate Shipments within Time Interval [-2 hrs; + 2 hrs]
Order 1 leads to an initial shipment SH000001 with an interval of [08:00 – 12:00]. Order 2 is linked to the same shipment because the planned delivery date falls within the shipment interval of shipment SH000001. Order 3 leads to the creation of a new shipment SH000002 with an interval of [11:00 – 15:00], because the planned delivery date falls outside the shipment interval of shipment SH000001. Order 4 has a planned delivery date which falls within the shipment interval of both shipments, but Order 4 will be linked to shipment SH000001 because it has the earliest interval start date.
