To release handling units

In the outbound flow, a handling unit must be linked to outbound advice to be retrieved from the warehouse. A handling unit that is linked to outbound advice has the Allocated status. If a part of the item quantity is allocated to outbound advice and the remainder is unallocated, the status of the handling unit is set to Partially Allocated.

The item quantity of a handling unit can be allocated to multiple outbound advices.

If a handling unit is partially allocated and the outbound advice of the allocated quantity is released or the picking list is confirmed, the allocated quantity is removed from the handling unit. Next, the allocated quantity is anonymously added to the shipment line and new handling units are generated for the shipment line according to the package definition of the related outbound order line. For more information, refer to To release handling units

The status of the handling unit remains Partially Allocated. The status changes to Allocated when the entire handling unit quantity is allocated to outbound advice.

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.
