Effective Date The description of the parameter set. Correct Outbound Quantity for JSC upto and including Correct Outbound Quantity for JSC upto and including This setting determines up to which status Job Shop Control can correct the quantities on outbound order lines related to material requirements for production orders. Allowed values JSC Production orders frequently require corrections, for example, because of a machine break-down at the job shop. If an JSC Production order is corrected, the corresponding material requirements require correction as well. Material requirements are issued by means of outbound order lines. Note
Correct Outbound Dates for JSC upto and including Correct Outbound Dates for JSC upto and including This setting determines up to which status Job Shop Control can update the planned dates for outbound order lines related to material requirements for production orders. Allowed values JSC Production orders frequently require re-planning, for example, because of a machine break-down at the job shop. If an JSC Production order is replanned, the corresponding material requirements require rescheduling as well. Material requirements are issued by means of outbound order lines. To optimize JSC Production order replanning, Job Shop Control must be enabled to adjust the planned dates for warehousing outbound order lines. Note To adjust the planned dates, Job Shop Control does not check the status of the outbound order line as a whole, but the status of the quantities listed on the outbound order line, for example, the quantity released, the quantity advised, and so on. If Job Shop Control finds quantities for which planned date correction is allowed, the planned dates are corrected as follows:
For example, planned date correction is allowed up to Generate Outbound Advice, and a released outbound order line lists the following quantities:
Planned date correction is allowed for 30 pcs, that is, the Open and the Advised quantities, and the quantities with a fulfillment plan, of this outbound order line. For these quantities, a new order line is created with planned dates filled by Job Shop Control.

For more information, refer to Assign item surcharges for item transfer ASNs Generate Handling Units Automatically from ASNs Generate Handling Units Automatically from ASNs Generate Handling units automatically The settings that control automatic generation of handling units from inbound ASNs. These settings apply to inbound ASNs that include items not linked to any warehouse. Note The settings made in the Generate Handling Units Automatically from ASNs field of the Warehouses (whwmd2500m000) session and the Creation ASN field of the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2110s000) session overrule the settings made in this field. In addition, the settings specified in the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2110s000) session overrule those made in the Warehouses (whwmd2500m000) session. ASNs by EDI Receive Direct Delivery Automatically If this check box is selected, the advance shipment notice (ASN) receipts of direct delivery orders which are processed through electronic data interchange (EDI) are confirmed automatically. If this check box is cleared, the ASN receipts of direct delivery orders which are processed through EDI must be confirmed manually. To confirm the ASN manually, you must run Receive Direct Delivery Lines command in the Shipment Notice (whinh3600m000) session. You can also modify the Actual Delivery Date and Packing Slip number if necessary. You can also modify the details of Shipped Quantity and Shipped Quantity in Inventory Unit in the Shipment Notice Lines (whinh3101m000) session. Options Generate ASNs Automatically If this check box is selected, advanced shipping notes are automatically generated when you confirm a shipment. If this check box is cleared, an advanced shipping note (ASN) is not automatically generated, but you can manually create an ASN in the Confirm Outbound ASN (whinh4230m100) session. History ASN If this check box is selected, the advance shipment notice (ASN) data is stored in history files. The data in these files can be viewed with history sessions, for example, the Shipment Notices History (whinh3550m000) and Landed Cost Line History (tclct2550m000) sessions. Performance aspects The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth. For more information, refer to History data Receipts Options Use Receipt Header Defaults If this check box is selected, and you create a receipt line in the Warehouse Receipt (whinh3512m000) session, LN retrieves data from the Warehouse Receipts Overview (whinh3110m000) session. LN retrieves the following data:
Generate Lots for Effectivity Units Automatically If this check box is selected, and you create effectivity units, LN generates lots. Packing Slip Mandatory on Receipts for Purchase Orders If this check box is selected, you must specify the packing slip number in the Warehouse Receipt (whinh3512m000) session when you receive purchased items. Apart from purchase orders, you can set the packing slip number field as mandatory for any other type of orders. Example sales order, service order and so on. To select the type of order for which the packing slip number must be specified, click the More button, the list of orders displays in a new window. Confirm Receipt as Final If this check box is selected, the Final Receipt check box is automatically selected for all receipt lines of a purchase order line receipt after the last receipt line is confirmed. For the receipt lines, the Final Receipt check box is made read-only. The setting in this field is the default for all warehouses in your organization. In the Confirm Receipt as Final field of the Warehouses (whwmd2500m000) session, you can change this setting for individual warehouses. If this check box is selected, end users are not required to (re-) check the received items while confirming receipts and manually select the Final Receipt check box. This will speed up the receipt procedure, which can be important if large numbers of receipt transactions are involved. As an additional result, the possible situation that back orders are not created because a user forgot to select the Final Receipt check box is prevented. On the other hand, if checking the received items while confirming receipts is required for the current warehouse, you must clear this check box. The only way to undo the automatic selection of the Final Receipt check box for an individual receipt is to adjust the receipt quantities in the Receipt Correction (whinh3121s000) session. This session requires specific authorization. Note If this check box is selected, and receipt confirmation must be blocked if the received quantities are not fulfilled according to the receipt tolerances, you must redefine the receipt tolerances either by changing the Block value to Warn, or by adjusting the quantities. You can define receipt tolerances and blockings in the Receiving group box of the Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session. Receipt History If this check box is selected, receipt data is stored in history files. The data in these files can be viewed with history sessions, for example, the Warehouse Receipts History (whinh3560m000) session. Performance aspects The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth. For more information, refer to History data Check on Duplicate Receipts If this check box is selected, during receipt entry the application checks whether the receipt is already present. The receipt being created is a duplicate if the following data match a receipt present in LN:
If a duplicate is found, the created receipt line is blocked and a message is displayed showing a blocking reason and indicating the receipt line of which the blocked receipt line is a duplicate. Duplicate Receipt Blocking Reason The blocking reason that is displayed when the receipt being created is a duplicate of an existing receipt. A duplicate receipt blocking reason must be of type Hold Receipt. Item Search Item Code System for Receipts The item code system that is used to search an item based on the supplier's item code. If a supplier's item code is available, the item code system enables you to search for the corresponding internal item code. When you enter a receipt, you can search for warehousing order lines whose internal item code corresponds to the supplier's item code. LN uses the item code systems as specified in the current session in the following priority sequence:
The item code systems, as specified in those fields, must be different. Print Cost/Service Item on Goods Received Notes Print Cost/Service Item on Goods Received Notes Indicates whether, or which, non-physical item type is printed in the Print Receipts (whinh3412m000) session.

Cross-docking Dynamic Cross-docking If this check box is selected, dynamic cross-docking can be used. Note If a cross-dock order exists, you cannot clear this check box. Performance aspects The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth. For more information, refer to Disable unused concepts in Warehousing. Generate Cross-dock Order for Outbound Advice Shortage If this check box is selected, and, after generating an outbound advice, an inventory shortage is found, a cross-dock order is created for the inventory shortage. Note In the Generate Outbound Advice (whinh4201m000) session, you can still select or clear this check box. However, if you generate an outbound advice directly, for example, from within the Outbound Order Lines (whinh2120m000) session, this option applies to the warehouse/item level ( Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2510m000)/ Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2110s000)). Generate Cross-dock Order Lines when Confirming Receipt If this check box is selected, LN checks if there are any open cross-dock orders that must be fulfilled by incoming goods. Automatically Approve Cross-dock Order Lines If this check box is selected, and cross-dock order lines are generated, these inbound order lines will immediately receive the status Approved. Priority Definition A user-defined set of priorities assigned to one or more LN table fields. LN uses the cross-dock order priority definition to generate the cross-dock order system priority. Note
For more information, refer to Cross-dock order priority Restriction Definition A user-defined set of rules that LN uses to determine whether to create cross-dock orders. The rules are checked one after the other. If a valid condition is met, no cross-dock orders will be created. If no rule applies, LN permits creation of cross-dock orders. Cross-dock restriction rules are taken into account regardless of the use of direct material supply. For more information, refer to Cross-dock restrictions Use Planning Priority Rules If this check box is selected, planning priority rules will be used by direct material supply (DMS). As a result, these rules are applied to DMS-generated cross-dock orders and to all other dynamic cross-dock orders. For more information, refer to Planning priority rules Generate Cross-dock Order when Releasing Order to Warehousing Generate Cross-dock Order when Releasing Order to Warehousing Indicates the conditions that govern the generation of cross-dock orders, when an issue order is released to Warehousing. The value that you specify in the field is defaulted in the Warehouses (whwmd2500m000) session. To enable this field, you must select the Dynamic Cross-docking check box. If you clear the Dynamic Cross-docking check box, the Generate Cross-dock Order when Releasing Order to Warehousing field is set to Never. Cancel Cross-dock Orders when Inventory Can Be Advised Indicates the conditions that govern the automatic cancelation or partial cancelation of the related cross-dock orders when an outbound advice for an outbound order line is generated. Note
Allowed values Cross-dock Order Numbers Number Group The number group used to generate cross-dock order numbers. Series The series used to generate cross-dock order numbers. Note The series specified here can be overruled by the series specified in the corresponding field of the Warehousing User Profiles (whwmd1140s000) session. Step Size The step size between position numbers of cross-dock orders. Direct Material Supply (DMS) Direct Material Supply (DMS) If this check box is selected, LN can use direct material supply (DMS) For more information, refer to Direct material supply (DMS) Performance aspects The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth. For more information, refer to Disable unused concepts in Warehousing. Use Warehouse Supply Structures If this check box is selected, LN will use warehouse supply structures. For more information, refer to Warehouse supply structures Outbound Picking Options Negative Inventory If this check box is selected, negative inventory is allowed. These options become available in various sessions: Sessions:
You can clear this check box if negative inventory is still present. If you do, no new negative inventory can be created and receipts will update the negative inventory levels. Restrict Picking by Location Type This check box only applies to inventory that is stored, with package definitions. For each package definition level you must specify whether the location type is Pick or Bulk. If this check box is selected, and an outbound advice is generated:
Therefore, if an outbound advice is generated for an item with a package definition, LN strictly adheres to the location type that is specified for the package definition level. This prevents, for example, that pieces and small boxes are picked from pallets in bulk locations. And bulk locations consequently continue to act as bulk locations. If this check box is cleared, and an outbound advice is generated, the location type of the package definition level acts as the preferred location type. LN first checks locations on the availability of inventory for the location type of the package definition level. If no inventory is available for the preferred location type, or not enough, LN checks the other location type on the availability of inventory. Minimal Picks If this check box is selected, and an outbound advice is generated, LN searches for the minimum number of picks needed to get the quantity specified on an order line. For this purpose, LN searches for the largest stock point. If the entire quantity cannot be picked from the largest stock point, LN moves on to the second largest stock point, and so on, until the entire quantity is picked. For example, sales order 27500157 lists 15 items VIN. Item VIN is lot controlled and stored in Warehouse WH00131:
As a result, in the Generate Outbound Advice (whinh4201m000) session, LN generates the following outbound advice for sales order 27500157:
The Generate Outbound Advice (whinh4201m000) session advises the quantity based on the setting of the warehouse parameter Outbound Method in the Item - Warehousing (whwmd4600m000) session and inventory handling parameter Minimal Picks in the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session. The FIFO/LIFO dates have higher priority and overrule the minimal picks functionality. The minimal picks functionality is based on quantities. LN first sorts the stock points based on the outbound priority LIFO/FIFO and then uses the Minimal Picks parameter. LN searches for stock points with Last/First inventory dates first and after that selects the largest stock points to minimize the picked items units. Note: Handling units are always selected using minimal picks. In this case also the outbound priority LIFO/FIFO is higher than the Minimal Picks. If this check box is cleared, the FIFO/LIFO date overrules the quantity. This can result in more picks for each order line than the minimal picks. For items that have the same FIFO/LIFO date, LN orders the quantities starting with the smallest quantity. Check Shipping Constraint during Release Advice The setting of this check box determines how LN handles the outbound movement of sales order lines for which value Ship Set Complete, Ship Kit Complete, or Ship Order Complete is selected in the Shipping Constraint field of the Sales Order Lines (tdsls4101m000) session. If this check box is selected, outbound advice is generated but not released until inventory for all order lines is present, even if outbound advice is set to automatic release in the applicable warehousing procedure. However, if at this point the inventory is insufficient to fulfil the order, LN deletes the just generated outbound advice for all order lines. For value Ship Kit Complete, LN advises quantities that make up complete subkits. Any remaining quantities are not advised. For more information, refer to Overview of kit handling in Warehouse Management. In this way, the inventory is available for other orders comprising lower quantities. If this check box is cleared, outbound advice is generated and released. Before confirming the related shipment lines, LN checks if:
Allow Changes to Confirmed Load/Shipments If this check box is selected, LN allows addition of shipment lines to shipments and shipments to loads for loads and shipments with status Confirmed. Suppress Backflushing Orders If this check box is selected, blocked and shipped backflushing orders are suppressed. These orders are not displayed in the Warehousing Orders (whinh2100m000) session. Automatic Recalculation of Excess and ATT Inventory If this check box is selected, LN automatically recalculates the inventory in excess and available to transfer (ATT) when an outbound advice is created or when a cycle counting order or an adjustment order is processed. Shipping Options Shipment History If this check box is selected, shipment history is stored in, for example, the Shipments History (whinh4550m000) session. Every time a shipment header, shipment line, or shipment load is created, modified, or removed, LN creates a shipment history line. Performance aspects The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth. For more information, refer to History data Projected Shipments in use If this check box is selected, shipments can be generated when an outbound order line is created. The initial status is then Projected. The use of projected shipments is activated at the order type level by selecting the Projected Shipments in use check box in the Warehousing Order Types (whinh0110m000) session. In the Warehousing Order Types (whinh0110m000) session, you can also set the Generate Projected Shipments Automatically check box to specify whether projected shipments must be generated automatically. Note This is a read-only field in case projected shipping containers/ loads/ shipments/ shipment lines already exist. By default, this field is cleared. When, however, projected shipments exist or when order types exist that have this checkbox selected, this check box cannot be modified. Shipping Containers in use If this check box is selected, you can maintain shipping containers in the following sessions:
Shipment Acceptance in use If this check box is selected, the shipment acceptance functionality is activated for the current company. Note By default, this check box is cleared. If this check box is cleared, the shipment acceptance functionality is invisible for the user. Calculate Additional Costs for Shipments If this check box is selected, LN allows the handling of additional cost lines on shipments. By default, the check box is cleared. For more information, refer to Additional costs in Warehousing Note Warehousing calculates additional costs for shipment only when you set the Calculate For field to Shipments in the Sold-to Business Partner (tccom4110s000) session. Consolidate Stock Points in one Shipment Line If this check box is selected, the outbound advices of the same order line with different stock point details are consolidated into a single shipment line. The outbound advices for an outbound order line are consolidated into one shipment line, even if the outbound advices contain one or more:
You can view the consolidated details linked to the shipment line in the Shipment Line Stock Point Details (whinh4133m000) session. Relabel Handling Unit if not according to Handling Unit Template If this check box is selected, during shipment line creation the picked handling units are closed and new labels are created because the picked handling units do not match the handling unit template of the shipment line. If this check box is cleared, The picked handling units are added to the shipment line. Check as-built serials Indicates whether LN checks for as-built serials, and, if so, the action taken. Advise Unallocated Inventory If this check box is selected, unallocated inventory is available to be advised for an outbound-order line with a specification. Note This option is applicable if the Demand Pegging check box is selected in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0500m000) details session. Demand Peg of Outbound Line is Binding If this check box is selected, only inventory with a specification identical to the outbound-order line is available to be advised. Note This option is applicable if the Demand Pegging check box is selected in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0500m000) details session. Print Storage Conditions - Outbound Item/Item Group Storage Conditions If this check box is selected, LN prints the Item/Item Group Storage Conditions on documents/reports that belong to the outbound procedure. Warehouse/Location Storage Conditions If this check box is selected, LN prints the Warehouse/Location Storage Conditions on documents/reports that belong to the outbound procedure. Export Compliance Provider Export Compliance Provider Indicates whether export compliance is in use. Performance aspects The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth. For more information, refer to Disable unused concepts in Warehousing. Update Deliveries Update Sales Deliveries Indicates how LN updates sales orders after the shipments based on the sales orders are confirmed. This option allows you to split up the process of confirming a shipment line and updating the originating sales order into two separate processes. By default, this is a single process: after confirming the shipment line, LN queries the shipment table and updates the originating sales order with the confirmed shipment data. If you split up this process, after confirming the shipment line, LN stores the confirmed shipment data in the Deliveries (whinh4139m000) session. Next, LN updates the originating sales order with the data from the Deliveries (whinh4139m000) session. This is done either automatically or by batch. The advantage of splitting up this process is that the transaction time is reduced by up to 50%. This is because the table behind the Deliveries (whinh4139m000) session is much smaller than its counterpart of the Shipment Lines (whinh4131m000) session. Consequently, only a small process table with a limited number of records is queried instead of the much larger shipment lines table. Allowed values
Note Options Batch and Decoupled are only available if the originating sales order:

If you run the Remove Processed Adjustment Order Lines (whinh5271m000) session, all processed order lines are stored in history. You can view the history in the Adjustment Orders History (whinh5570m000) session. Performance aspects The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth. For more information, refer to History data Adjustment Order Numbers Number Group The number group used to generate adjustment order numbers. Series The series used to generate adjustment order numbers. Note The series specified here can be overruled by the series specified in the corresponding field of the Warehousing User Profiles (whwmd1140s000) session. Step Size The step size between position numbers of adjustment order lines. Cycle Counting Options Maximum Number of Recounts The maximum number of recounts permitted for one cycle-count order. A recount can be scheduled:
Block During Warehouse Cycle Counting If this check box is selected, inventory is blocked when cycle-count orders are present. The inventory is blocked between the time that you create cycle-count orders and the time that you process your counting results. To prevent mistakes, you must block the inventory during cycle counting. Cycle Count Consignment Warehouses If this check box is selected, cycle-count orders are also generated for warehouses of type Consignment (Not Owned) or Consignment (Owned). On New Stock Point If this check box is selected, a cycle count is scheduled every time a new stockpoint is added. If you run the Process Cycle Counting Orders (whinh5201m000) session, this stock point is added to a counting list. If this check box is cleared, no cycle count is scheduled if a stock point is added. The stock point is added to a counting list after the counting interval, as defined for the item's classification, has expired. If Inventory becomes Zero Indicates the value based on which the cycle counting data must be processed if the registered inventory of a stock point becomes zero. The following cycle counting values are available:
The default value for the field is No Cycle Count. Count all Stock Points for Item If this check box is selected, and you run the Generate Cycle Counting Orders (whinh5200m000) session, LN generates cycle counting orders for all the stock points of an item in case one or several of the stock points of this item must be counted. Cycle Counting Orders History If this check box is selected, history data is stored for cycle-count orders. If you run the Remove Processed Cycle Counting Order Lines (whinh5251m000) session, all processed order lines are stored in history. You can view the history data in the Cycle Counting Orders History (whinh5550m000) session. Performance aspects The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth. For more information, refer to History data Reason for Reconciliation The reason explaining why a cycle counting order is used to reconcile the inventory levels of the administrative warehouse with those of the "real" warehouse. The reason code is displayed on the reconciliation cycle counting order in the Reason for Variance field of the Cycle Counting Order Lines (whinh5101m000) session. This field is mandatory if LN subscribes to BODs of type InventoryCount. Allowed values Reason codes of type Cycle Counting. Context If the customer performs inventory management in his warehouse and the supplier performs supply planning or owns the inventory, the customer sends a Business Object Document (BOD) message to the supplier informing him of any changes in the inventory levels. The supplier's ERP system compares the inventory levels listed in the received message with the inventory levels in the supplier's administrative warehouse and processes the differences using cycle count orders for which the Reconciliation check box is selected in the Cycle Counting Orders (whinh5100m000) session. Alternatively, the supplier performs inventory management and the customer plans or owns the inventory, in which case the customer reconciles the inventory levels of the administrative warehouse which reflects the supplier's "real" warehouse. Automatic Processing of Reconciliation Orders If this check box is selected, cycle counting orders generated for incoming InventoryCount messages are automatically processed. For these cycle counting orders, the Reconciliation check box is selected in the Cycle Counting Orders (whinh5100m000) session. Value Counted- Lower Class A/B/C The amount that indicates how much the total standard cost value of the counted inventory of a class A, B or C item can deviate from the cost-price value of the registered inventory if the counted inventory is less than the registered inventory. If the deviation is more than the value defined here, the cycle-count order line must be approved in the Approve Cycle Counting Variances (whinh5801m000) session. Value Counted- Higher Class A/B/C The amount that indicates how much the total standard cost value of the counted inventory of a class A, B or C item can deviate from the cost-price value of the registered inventory if the counted inventory is greater than the registered inventory. If the deviation is more than the value defined here, the cycle-count order line must be approved in the Approve Cycle Counting Variances (whinh5801m000) session. Currency A generally accepted medium of exchange such as coins, treasury notes, and banknotes. The following currency types are available in LN:
Percentage Counted- Lower Class A/B/C The maximum allowed shortage of the counted inventory of an A, B or C item, measured against the item's registered inventory, and expressed as a percentage of the registered inventory. If the shortage is more than the percentage defined here, the cycle-count order line must be approved in the Approve Cycle Counting Variances (whinh5801m000) session. Percentage Counted- Higher Class A/B/C The maximum allowed surplus of the counted inventory of an A, B or C item, measured against the item's registered inventory, and expressed as a percentage of the registered inventory. If the surplus is more than the percentage defined here, the cycle-count order line must be approved in the Approve Cycle Counting Variances (whinh5801m000) session. Cycle Counting Order Numbers Number Group The number group used to generate cycle-count order numbers. Series The series used to generate cycle-count order numbers. Note The series specified here can be overruled by the series specified in the corresponding field of the Warehousing User Profiles (whwmd1140s000) session. Step Size The step size between position numbers of cycle-count order lines. Counting Interval in Weeks Counting Interval in Weeks- Class A/B/C The counting interval in weeks between two subsequent counts of an A, B or C item. If you run the Generate Cycle Counting Orders (whinh5200m000) session, LN checks whether the last counting date is earlier than the counting interval entered. If this is the case, the stockpoint is added to a counting list, and cycle-count orders are generated.
