Warehousing Order (whinh2100m100)

Use this session to view and maintain warehousing orders by order origin.

Note

Use the Maps section to view the location of the Address and the Address. You must select only one record at a time.

For warehousing orders originating from other packages, you can only modify the data created in Warehousing.

If the Warehousing Order check box on the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session is selected and you modify, create, or remove a warehousing order manually, history is generated to register the different versions of the warehousing order. This applies to orders and order lines.

You can divide each origin/order combination into multiple sets of order lines. All order lines that belong to one order set will have the same shipping attributes.

A manually created warehousing order can have the following order origins:

  • Sales (Manual)
  • Purchase (Manual)
  • Service (Manual)
  • Maintenance Sales (Manual)
  • Maintenance Work (Manual)
  • JSC Production (Manual)
  • Transfer (Manual)
  • Project (Manual)
  • Project Contract

For warehousing orders created in Warehousing, the order number is determined by the Number Group field in the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session.

Warehousing orders are processed according to one of the following procedures:

  • The default warehousing procedure that is linked to the warehousing order type of the warehousing order header to which the current order line belongs.
  • The warehousing procedure defined for the current warehousing order.

To adjust the warehousing procedure for individual warehousing orders, select Activities by Warehousing Order (whinh2104m000) from the appropriate menu. Note that if, for a particular order, you change the first activity of the procedure from manual to automatic, you must use the Process command from the appropriate menu to start processing the order. You must also use the Process command for manual orders whose first activity is automatic. For further details on warehousing procedures, see To define warehousing procedures.

Note
  • You cannot handle inventory adjustments in this session. Inventory adjustments are supported by the Cycle Counting Orders (whinh5100m000) session because they do not generate a physical transaction.
  • Inspections in LN Quality are possible for warehouse orders having order origin Transfer (Manual) only if the QM Implemented parameter is selected for the order type Warehouse Transfer in the Quality Management Parameters (qmptc0100m000) session.
  • LN allows you to add cost items for the warehouse orders that have the origin Project (Manual) and Project Contract.
  • The origin Project Contract is used for the orders that originate from the project contracts.

 

Order

The origin of the order. The origin refers to the package that initiated the warehousing order. The Transfer origin refers to Warehousing.

Order

The code of the warehousing order. LN uses the series specified in the Series field of the Warehousing Orders (whinh2100m000) session to generate the order number. If the warehousing order is generated for an order from a package other than Warehousing, this number corresponds to the original order number and is not based on the series specified in the Series field.

Order

Delivery Date

The date for which delivery of a shipment is planned.

Default value

If LN determines the planned delivery date and the lead times are expressed in hours, LN takes into account all the time that is available on a day according to the actual calendar. However, if the lead times are expressed in days, LN considers a day as a whole day if the actual calendar indicates that time is available on that day.

Example 1: lead times in hours

System date/time (= order creation date/time): Wednesday 7:00:00.

Outbound lead time: two hours.

The actual calendar is available from Monday through Friday each week, and has an 8:00:00 start time and an 18:00:00 end time.

According to the actual calendar, a calendar correction must be added: the actual time to which the outbound lead time will be added is Wednesday 8:00:00. Therefore, the default planned delivery date is Wednesday 10:00:00.

Example 2: lead times in days

System date/time (= order creation date/time): Wednesday 17:45:00.

Outbound lead time: one day.

The actual calendar is available from Monday through Friday each week, and has an 8:00:00 start time and an 18:00:00 end time.

According to the actual calendar, no calendar correction is added. If, according to the actual calendar, some time is available on a day, the day is considered as a whole day. So, Wednesday is considered a whole day because 15 minutes are left. The default planned delivery date is the start time of (in this example) the next day, Thursday 8:00:00.

Note

Select Calculate to get a planned delivery date that is based on the planned receipt date. You can, for example, use this option if you only know the planned receipt date.

Ship-To
Code

The company to which the goods are shipped.

The ship-to company is the logistic company to which the warehouse in the Ship-to Code field belongs.

Important!

Only take into account this field if the warehousing order concerns a multicompany warehouse transfer. A warehousing order is a multicompany warehouse transfer if:

  • The inventory-transaction type is Transfer.
  • The ship-from type and the ship-to type is Warehouse.
  • The warehouses specified in the Ship-from Code and Ship-to Code fields belong to different logistic companies.

  • Service (Manual)
  • Maintenance Sales (Manual)
  • Maintenance Work (Manual)
  • JSC Production (Manual)
  • ASC Production (Manual)
  • Transfer (Manual)
  • Purchase (Manual)

You can only specify a location of type Pick or Bulk.

Note

In a Shop Floor warehouse, you can only receive goods in Bulk locations. Therefore, if you ship goods to a Pick location in a Shop Floor warehouse, you cannot receive these goods in this warehouse.

Receipt Date

The date on which the goods are expected to arrive in the destination warehouse.

Default value

The default planned receipt date is calculated as follows:

planned receipt date = PLD + TT + CC

PLDPlanned delivery date
TTTransport time
CCCalendar correction (ship-to)

LN does not take into account the transport time if the warehousing order originates from a production order.

If LN determines the planned receipt date and the lead times are expressed in hours, LN takes into account all the time that is available on a day according to the actual calendar. However, if the lead times are expressed in days, LN considers a day as a whole day if the actual calendar indicates that time is available on that day.

Example 1: lead times in hours

Planned delivery date: Wednesday 10:00:00

Transport time: eight hours

The carrier's actual calendar has a 7:00:00 start time and a 17:00:00 end time. The ship-to's actual calendar has an 8:30:00 start time and an 18:00:00 end time. Both actual calendars are available from Monday through Friday each week.

The carrier will carry the goods for seven hours on Wednesday (from 10:00:00 until 17:00:00) and for 1 hour on Thursday (from 7:00:00 till 8:00:00). So, according to the carrier's calendar, the planned receipt date is Thursday 8:00:00. However, if you also take into account the ship-to's actual calendar, the default planned receipt date is Thursday 8:30:00.

Example 2: lead times in days

Planned delivery date: Wednesday 16:00:00

Transport time: two days

The carrier's actual calendar has a 7:00:00 start time and a 17:00:00 end time. The ship-to's actual calendar has an 8:30:00 start time and an 18:00:00 end time. Both actual calendars are available from Monday through Friday each week.

If the actual calendar indicates that time is available on a day, the day is considered a whole day. So, Wednesday is considered a whole day according to the carrier's actual calendar because one hour remains. The transport will thus take place on Wednesday and Thursday. The default planned receipt date is Friday 7:00:00 according to the carrier's actual calendar. However, also taking into account the ship-to's actual calendar, the default planned receipt date is Friday 8:30:00.

Note

Choose Calculate to get a planned receipt date that is based on the planned delivery date. You can, for example, use this option if you only know the planned delivery date.

The Hard Stop on Quantity field in the Inbound Order Lines (whinh2110m000) session indicates which action LN carries out if the tolerance is not met.

LN retrieves the Minimum Quantity Tolerance from the Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session or from the Items - Purchase (tdipu0101m000) session if you release a purchase order or if a purchase schedule is released to Warehousing.

Example receipt

Minimum Quantity Tolerance: 10%

Ordered quantity: 200

If the received quantity is less than 180 items, and the value of the Hard Stop on Quantity field in the Inbound Order Lines (whinh2110m000) session is:

  • No, you can confirm the receipt.
  • Warn, you can confirm the receipt, but you get a warning.
  • Block, you cannot confirm the receipt.
Maximum Quantity Tolerance

If the warehousing order is of the Receipt transaction type, this field shows the greatest positive deviation of the ordered quantity that is tolerated, expressed in a percentage. The Hard Stop on Quantity field in the Inbound Order Lines (whinh2110m000) session indicates which action LN carries out if the tolerance is not met.

LN retrieves the Maximum Quantity Tolerance from the Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session or from the Items - Purchase (tdipu0101m000) session if you release a purchase order or if a purchase schedule is released to Warehousing.

Example receipt

Maximum Quantity Tolerance: 10%

Ordered quantity: 200

If the received quantity is more than 220 items, and the value of the Hard Stop on Quantity field in the Inbound Order Lines (whinh2110m000) session is:

  • No, you can confirm the receipt.
  • Warn, you can confirm the receipt, but you get a warning.
  • Block, you cannot confirm the receipt.

If the warehousing order is of the Issue transaction type, this field shows the greatest positive deviation from the ordered quantity that is tolerated to be shipped, expressed in a percentage. The Hard Stop on Quantity field in the Outbound Order Lines (whinh2120m000) session indicates which action LN carries out if the tolerance is not met.

LN retrieves the Maximum Quantity Tolerance from the Items - Sales Business Partner (tdisa0510m000) session or from the Items - Sales (tdisa0501m000) session, if you release a sales order or a sales schedule to Warehousing.

If the value of the Tolerance Type field in the Items - Sales Business Partner (tdisa0510m000) session or in the Items - Sales (tdisa0501m000) session is:

  • Percentage, the value of the Maximum Quantity Tolerance field is equal to this percentage.
  • Quantity, LN determines the Maximum Quantity Tolerance, which is always expressed in a percentage, as follows:
maximum tolerance (expressed as a quantity) / ordered quantity * 100%
Note

If you manually create a warehouse order, you can also manually specify the Maximum Quantity Tolerance.

Example issue

Maximum Quantity Tolerance: 10%

Ordered quantity: 200

If the advised quantity is more than 220 items, and the value of the Hard Stop on Quantity field in the Outbound Order Lines (whinh2120m000) session is:

Create Return Order

LN creates a regular warehouse transfer order for the items to be transported back to the warehouse specified in the Ship-From group box. The Return Order transports the items from the Ship-To warehouse back to the Ship-From warehouse.

Example

When the first warehouse transfer is from warehouse A to warehouse B and you create a Return warehouse transfer, LN copies the warehouse transfer (same item, quantity and so on) and the transfer is from B to A.

Calculate Planned Delivery Date

Use this command to calculate the planned delivery date based on the planned receipt date using the following formula:

PRD - CC - TT - CCsf

PRDPlanned receipt date
CCCalendar correction (ship-to)
TTTransport time
CCsfCalendar correction (ship-from)

Note: When LN calculates the planned delivery date and the lead times are expressed in hours, LN takes into account all the time that is available on a day according to the actual calendar. However, if the lead times are expressed in days, LN considers a day a whole day if the actual calendar indicates that time is available on that day.

Example 1: lead times in hours. Planned receipt date: Friday 17:30:00. Transport time (in hours): 10. The ship-to business partner's actual calendar has an 8:30:00 start time and a 17:00:00 end time. The carrier's actual calendar has a 7:30:00 start time and an 18:00:00 end time. The ship-from's actual calendar has an 8:00:00 start time and a 17:00:00 end time. These calendars are all available from Monday through Friday each week.

According to the ship-to business partner's actual calendar, receipt cannot take place at Friday 17:30:00. Therefore the corrected planned receipt date is Friday 17:00:00. According to the carrier's actual calendar, the carrier will carry the goods 9.5 hours on Friday (from 7:30:00 until 17:00:00) and half an hour on Thursday (from 17:30:00 until 18:00:00). According to the ship-from's actual calendar, the goods cannot be delivered at Thursday 17:30:00. Therefore, the corrected planned delivery date is Thursday 17:00:00.

Example 2: lead times in days. Planned receipt date: Friday 9:00:00. Transport time (in days): 2. The ship-to business partner's actual calendar has an 8:30:00 start time and a 17:00:00 end time. The carrier's actual calendar has a 7:30:00 start time and an 18:00:00 end time. The ship-from's actual calendar has an 8:00:00 start time and a 17:00:00 end time. These calendars are all available from Monday through Friday each week.

According to the ship-to business partner's actual calendar, receipt can take place at Friday 9:00:00. Therefore, no calendar correction (ship-to) is needed. If the actual calendar indicates that time is available on a day, the day is considered a whole day. Thus, according to the carrier's actual calendar, Friday is considered a whole day, which means Friday and Thursday are transport days. According to the carrier's actual calendar, the planned delivery date is Thursday 7:30:00. However, taking into account the ship-from business partner's actual calendar, the planned delivery date is Wednesday 17:00:00 because Thursday at 7:30:00 the ship-from business partner's actual calendar is not open.

Note

  • If the planned receipt date is not specified, LN sets both the planned receipt date and the planned delivery date to the current date.
  • If the calculated planned delivery date is before the current date, LN sets the planned delivery date to the current date.
Print Warehousing Orders

Starts the Print Warehousing Orders (whinh2400m000) session. By default, LN starts this session to print the report.

Calculate Planned Receipt Date

Calculates the planned receipt date based on the planned delivery date using the following formula:

planned receipt date = PDD + TT + CC

PDDPlanned delivery date
TTTransport time
CCCalendar correction (ship-to)

Note: When LN calculates the planned receipt date and the lead times are expressed in hours, LN takes into account all the time that is available on a day according to the actual calendar. However, if the lead times are expressed in days, LN considers a day a whole day if the actual calendar indicates that time is available on that day.

Example 1: lead times in hours. Planned delivery date: Wednesday 10:00:00. Transport time (in hours): 8. The carrier's actual calendar has a 7:00:00 start time and a 17:00:00 end time. The ship-to business partner's actual calendar has an 8:30:00 start time and an 18:00:00 end time. Both actual calendars are available from Monday through Friday each week.

The carrier will transport the goods for seven hours on Wednesday (from 10:00:00 until 17:00:00) and for one hour on Thursday (from 7:00:00 until 8:00:00). Thus, according to the carrier's calendar, the planned receipt date is Thursday 8:00:00. However, also, taking into account the ship-to business partner's actual calendar, the planned receipt date is Thursday 8:30:00.

Example 2: lead times in days. Planned delivery date: Wednesday 16:00:00. Transport time (in days): 2. The carrier's actual calendar has a 7:00:00 start time and a 17:00:00 end time. The ship-to business partner's actual calendar has an 8:30:00 start time and an 18:00:00 end time. Both actual calendars are available from Monday through Friday each week.

If the actual calendar indicates that time is available on a day, the day is considered a whole day. Thus, Wednesday is considered a whole day according to the carrier's actual calendar, because one hour is left. The transport will thus take place on Wednesday and Thursday. The default planned receipt date is Friday 7:00:00 according to the carrier's actual calendar. However, also, taking into account the ship-to business partner's actual calendar, the default planned receipt date is Friday 8:30:00.

Note: If the planned delivery date is not specified, LN sets the planned delivery date to the current date.

Related Order

This command is available for multicompany transfers. Use this command to view the transfer order for the related company, which enables you to view information on the items to be transferred in the related company. If you are working in the from-company, click this command to view the related order in the to-company. If you access the order in the to-company, click this command to view the related order in the from-company.

The order number of the transfer order for the related company can be different. The reason is that each company can have different number groups and series for transfer orders.

If you create a transfer order to transfer items to a warehouse in a different company, LN creates the transfer order for both the from-company and the to-company. The from-company is the issuing company and the to-company is the receiving company.
