Update, cancel or remove outbound order lines

Updating or cancelling outbound order lines can affect the related outbound advices, outbound advice lines, or shipments and shipment lines.

This depends on the nature of the update and the stage of the outbound process that updating or cancelling is allowed. This stage is specified using these options in the Warehousing Order Types (whinh0110m000) session:

Update outbound order lines

If updating outbound order lines is allowed and outbound advice is generated, LN deletes the outbound advice if any of these fields are updated in the related outbound order lines:

  • Warehouse
  • Item
  • Serial Number
  • Serial Status
  • Lot Selection
  • Lot
  • Effectivity Unit
  • E-item Revision
  • Unit Binding
  • Hard Stop on Quantity
  • Inventory Handling
  • Package Definition
  • Payment
  • Internal Payment
  • Ownership
  • Issue Strategy
  • Issue from Business Partner
  • From Project
  • From Element
  • From Activity
  • From Extension
  • From Cost Component
  • The contents of the Specification fields.

If outbound advice is released and picking lists are generated, LN deletes the outbound advice and the picking lists if any of the fields of the previous list are updated.

If Generate Picking List is specified in the Allow Updating Outbound Order Lines upto and including option but picking lists are not used in the warehousing procedure, shipments and shipment lines have been generated already, therefore updating the outbound order lines is not allowed. However, you can set the quantities of these shipment lines to Not Shipped.

Cancel outbound order lines

If outbound order lines are cancelled and outbound advice is generated, LN deletes the outbound advice.

If outbound advice is released and picking lists are generated, LN deletes the outbound advice and the picking list when the outbound order lines are cancelled. If picking lists are not used in the applicable warehousing procedure, shipments and shipment lines are generated when the outbound advice is released. The quantities of these shipment lines is set to 0 (zero) when the order lines are cancelled and the status of the shipment lines is Frozen or Confirmed.

Projected shipments

If projected shipments are present and any of these fields of the outbound order line are changed, new projected shipments are generated:

  • Warehouse
  • Item
  • Inventory Handling
  • Package Definition
  • Order Set
  • Reference
  • Ordered Quantity
  • Order Unit
  • Ship-to Address
  • Extra Intrastat Info
  • Shipment Reference
  • Customer Order
  • Acceptance Point
  • Intermediate Consignee
  • Delivery Point
