Outbound Advice (whinh4525m000)

Use this session to view and maintain outbound advice.

You can modify outbound advice in the Process Outbound Advice (whinh4200m000) session. In this session, you can also enter the details of an outbound advice created in the Outbound Advice (whinh4525m000) session.

As long as the inventory is not retrieved from the advised locations, you can maintain the advised outbound quantities. You can change the values of the Run field and the Picking Sequence field, as long as the picking list is not yet printed.

Only outbound data from warehousing-order lines with the following statuses can be maintained in this session:

  • Open
  • Advised
  • Released

When the shipment is created, that is, when the Picked check box is selected, the advice line can be deleted.

Demand pegging

If Demand Pegging is used, the Advise Unallocated Inventory and Demand Peg of Outbound Line is Binding check boxes in the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session are used to determine whether you can:

  • Advise unallocated inventory to an outbound order with a specification.
  • Advise allocated inventory to an outbound order with a different specification.

To advise:

  • Unallocated inventory, clear the fields in the Demand Peg group box of the current session.
  • Allocated inventory to a different specification, specify the details of the from-specification in the fields in the Demand Peg group box.

Click Serials, next to this check box, to start the Outbound Advice Lots and Serials (whinh4126m000) session.

It is only mandatory to register the serial numbers of advised items, if the following apply:

  • No, you can save the outbound advice.
  • Warn, you can save the outbound advice, but you get a warning.

The ship-to business partner to which the inventory is allocated.

Business Object Type

The type of order to which the inventory was allocated, such as, Sales Order, or Service Order.

Business Object Reference

The order or order line to which the items were allocated.

LN can use this characteristic to find a matching supply for this demand.

Note

The combination of the following fields identifies the order or order line to which the ordered items were allocated:

  • Business Object Type

  • Business Object Reference
Reference

A reference code to which the inventory was allocated.

LN can use the inventory specified by this record to fulfill a demand specified by this reference and for no other purpose.

LN can use this field in two ways:

  • If the Sold-to Business Partner field is filled, LN uses the Reference field to record a reference code defined by a customer.
  • If the Sold-to Business Partner field is empty, LN uses the Reference field to record an internal reference.

You can use a reference code to keep a collection of parts linked together, even if they follow different routings, for example, if some of the parts are transported to a subcontractor to be returned later.

Derived from Product Variant

A unique configuration of a configurable item. The variant results from the configuration process and includes information such as feature options, components, and operations.

Example

Configurable item: electric drill

Options:

  • 3 power sources (batteries, 12 V or 220 V)
  • 2 colors (blue, gray).

A total of 6 product variants can be produced with these options.

Option List ID

The identification of the options and features for a configured item. The ID is used in the item specification to match supply and demand.

The ASN specifications include the option list ID. The ASN specifications are populated from the Inbound Order Lines (whinh2110m000) session. In turn, the specifications on the inbound order line are populated from the purchase schedule line.

For configurable purchased items in Warehousing, only the option list ID is part of the specifications. This means that inventory is maintained per option list ID and is the total of inventory of all product variants with the same option list ID.

Note
  • The field is displayed only if the Assembly (APL/ASC/ASL) check box is selected in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session.

  • The field is populated only for configurable purchased items and manufactured assembly (FAS) items.

If the serial number that you select in the Serialized Items (tcibd4501m000) session is linked to an item listed in the outbound advice, a message to that effect appears when you close the Serialized Items (tcibd4501m000) session. In that case, you must generate new serial numbers in the Outbound Advice Lots and Serials (whinh4126m000) session.
