| Outbound/InspectionsThe outbound process is used to issue
goods from the warehouse. To issue and ship goods from a warehouse, warehouse
processing is either based on handling units or outbound shipments and
warehousing order lines. If you use handling units to process goods, the order
lines and/or shipments related to the handling units are updated in the
background. The outbound and shipment procedures comprise the activities
that you must perform in LN to issue and, if required, inspect goods that you want to store in
the warehouse. This procedure also describes all steps, also called activities, of the outbound and inspection procedures
and shows how the steps can be executed. The outbound warehouse inspections can
only be approved or rejected. Outbound advice is a list generated by LN that advises the
location and lot from which goods must be picked, taking into account factors
such as blocked locations and the outbound method. Picking list A Picking list is a document that lists the material to be picked for
manufacturing or shipping orders. This document is used by operating personnel
to pick manufacturing or shipping orders. You can generate picking list for
every run number and generate a new picking list for a new picking mission. Unlike inbound
inspections, the outbound inspection is not a warehousing procedure in its own
right, but an activity that you can add to the outbound procedure. You can add
the outbound inspection step to a warehousing procedure if the setup for the
warehouse, supplier, or item requires item inspection. During the outbound process, issuing project pegged goods
from a warehouse result in inventory transactions that are based on the peg
distribution. During outbound advice and inspections, the outbound order line
cost peg distribution is updated with the advised quantities, approved
quantities, and the rejected quantities. When the goods arrive at the staging
location and are shipped, the actual pegs are created. During the confirmation
process, the shipment line peg distribution is created. For project pegged outbound order lines, you can interchange
the effectivity units when there is no inventory available
for the ordered effectivity unit. To order components from suppliers, automobile
manufacturers apply various procedures that all automotive suppliers must
comply with. One of these procedures is called CINDI, which is an extensive
procedure consisting of these aspects: - Transport ID
- Distribution Zone/ Routing Code
- RAN/ KANBAN number/ Delivery call number
- Point of consumption/ Point of destination
Run number A run number is a code assigned to a group of warehousing order lines when
they are advised. LN assigns or generates a run number if a user does not manually enter or select a
run number while he generates inbound or outbound advice for a group of
warehousing order lines. For inbound movements, the user can generate storage lists
and confirm storage lists by run. For outbound movements, the user can release
outbound advice, generate picking lists, and confirm picking lists by
run. You can define additional information fields that can be linked to LN tables. The contents
of these additional fields can be transferred between LN tables, which allows
users to enter additional information in sales schedules or sales orders. The
additional information is passed on, for example, from the sales order or sales
schedule via the warehouse order to a shipment in Warehousing.
