Interchangeable effectivity units for outbound process

The effectivity units can be interchanged when there is no inventory available for the ordered effectivity unit.

For project pegged outbound order lines, when there is no inventory available for the ordered effectivity unit, LN allows you to interchange effectivity units.

Generate Outbound Advice

The ordered effectivity unit (3) is not in the inventory, so another effectivity unit is advised and the Planned Inventory Transaction (PIT ) is updated. The result of generate outbound advice:

When interchangeable effectivity units are advised, stock point details are created to confirm shipments without the use of handling units.
