Warehousing Order Types (whinh0110m000)

Use this session to define warehousing order types. You can define various transaction types for warehousing order types, for example, issues, receipts, and transfers.

You can also link warehousing order types to warehousing procedures. When linked to a warehousing procedure, a warehousing order type is related to a workflow process.

 

Procedures
Warehousing Order Type

A code that identifies the type of a warehousing order. The default warehousing procedure that you link to a warehousing order type determines how the warehousing orders to which the order type is allocated are processed in the warehouse, although you can modify the default procedure for individual warehousing orders or order lines.

Inventory Transaction Type

A classification that is used to indicate the type of inventory movement.

The following inventory transaction types are available:

  • Issue
    From warehouse to other entity than warehouse.
  • Receipt
    From other entity than warehouse to warehouse.
  • Transfer
    From one warehouse to another.
  • WIP Transfer
    From one costing work center to another.
Inbound
Receipt Procedure

The default receipt procedure for the warehousing-order type. When a warehousing order is generated, this default procedure is used for the receipt of goods.

Inspection Procedure

The default inspection procedure for the warehousing-order type. When a warehousing order is generated, this default procedure is used for inspections.

Outbound
Outbound Advice Procedure

The default outbound advice procedure for the warehousing-order type. When a warehousing order is generated, this default procedure is used for the issue of goods.

Shipment Procedure

The default shipment procedure for the warehousing order type. When a warehousing order is generated, this default procedure is used for the shipment of goods.

Freight
Generate Freight Order Automatically

If this check box is selected, a freight order is automatically generated when a warehousing order is created.

You can only select this check box if the Freight package is implemented.

You can also clear or select this check box if the warehousing-order type is used.

Note

You can view freight orders in the Freight Orders (fmfoc2100m000) session.

If this check box is selected, freight orders are generated for warehousing orders with the Planned status. By default, this check box is selected.

Transfer
Create Backorders

If this check box is selected, back orders are automatically created for warehousing orders of the current order type if the delivered quantity is lower than the ordered quantity.

General
Extra Intrastat Info

Statistical import/export data that is not available as standard information in LN, but which is required on the sales listing or the Intrastat declaration by some of the EU member states.

You can add up to 15 data fields to the Intrastat statistical data by defining them as extra Intrastat information set. You can assign the extra Intrastat information sets to warehouse order lines.

Print
Print Outbound Advice

If this check box is selected, outbound advice is printed automatically when outbound advice is generated.

Outbound Advice

The printer on which outbound advice is printed if outbound advice is automatically generated. You can specify whether outbound advice is automatically generated in the warehousing procedure for the current order type.

Note

The printer selected in this field is overruled if a printer is specified for outbound advice in the Job Shop Control module of Manufacturing, or if a printer is specified in the Warehousing User Profiles (whwmd1140s000) session.

Shipping
Shipment Building
Single Order per Shipment

If this check box is selected, for orders of the current order type, a shipment can only contain shipment lines created for order lines of all order sets of the same warehousing order.

This setting applies to order types with inventory-transaction type Issue or Transfer.

Selecting this check box causes the SingleShipment check box in the Freight Orders (fmfoc2100m000) session and the Freight Order (fmfoc2100m100) session to be automatically selected and greyed out for freight orders generated from warehousing orders of the current warehousing order type. This also applies to freight orders generated from sales orders whose order type is associated with a warehousing order type for which this check box is selected.

You can associate a warehousing order type with a sales order type as follows:

  • Select a warehousing order type in the Warehousing Order Type field of the Sales Order Types (tdsls0594m000) session .
  • Select a default warehousing order type for sales orders that match particular properties in the Default Order Types by Origin (whinh0120m000) session.
Note

Single Order per Shipment is not applicable when Single Line per Shipment is selected.

Single Order Set per Shipment

If this check box is selected, for orders of the current order type, a shipment can only contain shipment lines created for order lines of a single order set of the same warehousing order. If kit handling is used, the shipment thus contains components that belong to the same subkit.

Note

Single Order Set per Shipment is not applicable when Single Line per Shipment is selected.

Unique Shipment Reference per Shipment

If this check box is selected, LN creates a unique shipment for each shipment reference number. In other words, a shipment reference will not occur again in another shipment for this business partner. For more information, refer to Shipment building based on shipment reference.

Note
  • This check box is not applicable if the Single Line per Shipment check box is selected.

  • This check box is unavailable if these check boxes are selected:

    • Single Order per Shipment
    • Single Order Set per Shipment
    • Single Shipment Reference per Shipment
    • Single Delivery Point per Shipment
Single Shipment Reference per Shipment

If this check box is selected, LN allows the creation of multiple shipments for the same Shipment Reference. On the other hand, a shipment might not contain multiple shipment references. For more information, refer to Shipment building based on shipment reference.

Note

The field is disabled if the Unique Shipment Reference per Shipment check box or the Single Line per Shipment check box is selected.

Single Delivery Point per Shipment

If this check box is selected, LN groups the outbound advices that have the same delivery point, as shipment lines, in one shipment. A shipment might not contain deliveries to multiple Delivery Point, unless other shipment building criteria require this. For more information, refer to Shipment building based on delivery points.

Note

If this check box is selected, the Unique Shipment Reference per Shipment check box is disabled.

Note

This field is disabled when the Single Line per Shipment check box is selected.

Single Customer Order per Shipment

If this check box is selected, LN groups the outbound advices with the same customer order number into one shipment. A shipment can contain deliveries to multiple customer orders, based on the other shipment building criteria.

Note

If this check box is selected, the Unique Shipment Reference per Shipment check box is disabled.

Note

Single Customer Order per Shipment is not applicable when Single Line per Shipment is selected.

Single Line per Shipment

If this check box is selected, for the order type, the warehousing orders using this order type allow shipments with one shipment line only. When the goods cannot be shipped in one shipment line, a new shipment header is created.

Note

This field is cleared and disabled when the parameter Unique Shipment Reference per Shipment is selected.

This field is not enabled for the inventory transactions of the type, Receipt and WIP Transfer.

Load Building
Single Order per Load

If this check box is selected, for orders of the current order type, a load can only contain shipment with shipment lines created for order lines of all order sets of the same warehousing order. If kit handling is used, the load thus contains subkits belonging to the same topkit.

Single Shipment per Load

If this check box is selected, LN creates loads that have only one shipment. This is to accomplish that one advance shipment notice can be created for each bill of lading. By default, this check box is cleared.

  • This check box is selected automatically if you select the Single Order per Load check box.

  • This parameter is applicable to the transaction types Issue and Transfer.

Single Ship-to Code per Load

If this check box is selected, LN creates loads that have shipments for only one ship-to code. By default, this check box is cleared. For more information, refer to Load building based on the Single Ship-to Code per Load check box.

Note
  • This check box is selected automatically if you select the Single Order per Load or Single Shipment per Load check box.

  • LN allows you to split the load for a specific shipment. You can have multiple loads with the same ship-to codes.

  • This parameter is applicable to the transaction types Issue and Transfer.

Container Handling

The Container Handling options determine whether, if applicable, containers must be created manually, or whether LN generates a first container in which all shipments are initially placed. By default, the value is Not Applicable. For more information, refer to Compose Shipping Structure - Container Handling

Note

The field is visible only when you select the Shipping Containers in use check box in the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session.

Freeze Mandatory

If this check box is selected, freezing shipments and loads is mandatory, only frozen shipments or loads can be confirmed.

Consequently, in the shipment procedure the Freeze/Confirm Shipments/Loads (whinh4275m000) activity cannot be performed automatically. Therefore, the Automatic check box is unavailable in the Activities by Warehousing Order (whinh2104m000) and Activities by Outbound Order Line (whinh2124m000) sessions.

This option ensures that shipment, shipment line, or load data cannot be changed, so that processes such as shipment validation or scan-to-verify are not affected.

Handling Unit Based Confirmation

If this check box is selected, the shipment lines must be confirmed through the handling units of the shipment lines. If the handling units are not confirmed, confirming the shipment lines is not allowed.

Handling units are confirmed in one of these ways:

  • Using the Confirm option in the Handling Unit Tree.
  • Using the Confirm option on the Execute Outbound submenu of the Handling Units (whwmd5130m000) session.
  • After a successful scan if the scan-to-verify process is used.

As a result, the Confirmed for Shipping check box is selected for the handling unit.

The status of the handling unit changes to Shipped when the shipment line of the handling unit is confirmed. The shipment line is automatically confirmed if the Confirm Shipment Lines when confirming Handling Units check box is selected and all of the linked handling units are confirmed.

Scan-to-verify

The Handling Unit Based Confirmation option enables you to use the scan-to-verify process. This process entails verifying if the handling units about to be loaded match the handling units linked to shipment lines in LN. The verification is done by scanning the labels of the handling units at the loading dock. Successfully scanned handling units are automatically confirmed.

Confirm Shipment Lines when confirming Handling Units

If this check box is selected, a shipment line is confirmed when all of the handling units of the shipment line are confirmed. If this check box is cleared, the shipment line must be manually confirmed after the handling units of the shipment line are confirmed.

Shipment Validation

If this check box is selected, shipment validation is activated.

Shipment validation is an additional step in the outbound flow. After a shipment or a load is Frozen, various checks on the shipment or load structure are performed outside LN by Exchange Management (EXM). When EXM returns a successful validation, the shipment procedure can be continued by confirming the loads and shipments.

To use shipment validation, the Freeze Mandatory check box must be selected and BOD publishing must be activated.

Projected Shipments
Projected Shipments in use

If this check box is selected, you can create projected shipments for orders using this order type.

Note

By default, this check box is cleared.

This field is not present if the Projected Shipments in use check box is cleared in the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session.

Generate Projected Shipments Automatically

If this check box is selected, LN creates projected shipments when the outbound order lines are created.

Note

This check box is not present if the Projected Shipments in use check box is cleared in the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session.

If this check box is cleared, but the Projected Shipments in use check box is selected, you can create projected shipments using the Generate Projected Shipments (whinh4230m200) session.

Sequencing

If this check box is selected, the sequencing functionality is used.
