| Multiwarehouse shipmentsThe Shipment through Warehouse field in the Warehouses (whwmd2500m000) session is used to: - Consolidate shipment lines containing goods from specific
warehouses into one shipment
- Define the warehouse from which the actual shipping takes
place
This is option is used in either of these cases: - The travelling distance and logistic handling time between a
group of warehouses is negligible.
- Multiple warehouses exist for administrative reasons, whereas
there is only one actual warehouse from which shipping takes place.
In this way, you can skip specifying transfer orders to
register inventory movements from the storage warehouses to the ship-from
warehouse. In the Shipment through Warehouse field of the Warehouses (whwmd2500m000) session, the main warehouse is specified for each warehouse that shares this warehouse as
ship-from warehouse. Example Warehouses WH001, WH002 and WH003 are located on the same
premises. For easy administration, shipping is done from WH003. For WH001 and
WH002, specify WH003 as the main warehouse in the Shipment through Warehouse field of the Warehouses (whwmd2500m000) session. As a result, shipment lines that contain goods from warehouses
WH001, WH002, and WH003 are combined in one shipment. WH003 is the main
warehouse, from which shipping is done. WH001 and WH002 are the subwarehouses. In the Shipments (whinh4130m000) session, the ship-from type and ship-from code of the
shipment display WH003. On the shipment lines, the Warehouse field displays WH001 and WH002. To prevent unwieldy clusters of main and
subwarehouses: In the Shipment through Warehouse field of the Warehouses (whwmd2500m000) session, subwarehouses are unavailable. For example, WH003 is a subwarehouse of WH055. Therefore,
you cannot select WH003 as the main warehouse for WH001 and WH002. - For a warehouse that is selected as the main warehouse for one
or more subwarehouses, the Shipment through Warehouse field is
unavailable.
Note - This functionality is unavailable for WMS controlled
warehouses.
- This functionality is only available for warehouses of type Normal.
- The application allows you to select subwarehouses regardless
of the distances defined between these warehouses and the main warehouse.
Therefore, ensure that you select the correct warehouses.
- Transfer orders between two subwarehouses or between a sub and
main warehouse are handled normal transfer orders. For transfers between two subwarehouses, the main warehouse is not involved. For
transfers between a sub and a main warehouse, the main warehouse is either the
receiving warehouse or the issuing warehouse.
- Consolidation of shipment lines from multiple warehouses into
one shipment is used for logistic and transport planning purposes. This has no
impact on consolidation of multiple shipments in export or customs related
documents.
- Inventory from different warehouses cannot be consolidated
into one shipment line.
