Warehousing Orders (whinh2100m000)

Use this session to view and maintain warehousing orders by order origin.

For warehousing orders originating from other packages, you can only modify the data created in Warehousing.

If the Warehousing Order check box on the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session is selected and you modify, create, or remove a warehousing order manually, history is generated to register the different versions of the warehousing order. This applies to orders and order lines.

You can divide each origin/order combination into multiple sets of order lines. All order lines that belong to one order set will have the same shipping attributes.

A manually created warehousing order can have the following order origins:

  • Sales (Manual)
  • Purchase (Manual)
  • Service (Manual)
  • Maint. Sales (Manual)
  • Maint. Work (Manual)
  • SFC Production (Manual)
  • Transfer (Manual)
  • Project (Manual)
  • Project Contract

For warehousing orders created in Warehousing, the order number is determined by the Number Group field in the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session.

Warehousing orders are processed according to one of the following procedures:

  • The default warehousing procedure that is linked to the warehousing order type of the warehousing order header to which the current order line belongs.
  • The warehousing procedure defined for the current warehousing order.

To adjust the warehousing procedure for individual warehousing orders, select Activities by Warehousing Order (whinh2104m000) from the appropriate menu. Note that if, for a particular order, you change the first activity of the procedure from manual to automatic, you must use the Process command from the appropriate menu to start processing the order. You must also use the Process command for manual orders whose first activity is automatic. For further details on warehousing procedures, see Warehousing procedures.

Note
  • You cannot handle inventory adjustments in this session. Inventory adjustments are supported by the Cycle Counting Orders (whinh5100m000) session because they do not generate a physical transaction.
  • Effectivity units of items that are not lot-controlled are not recorded in warehouse inventory.
  • Use the Maps section to view the location of the Ship-from Address and the Ship-to Address. You must select only one record at a time.
  • You can set the Warehouse Order Header Status to Put Away only if the status of all inbound order lines linked to the warehouse order, is set to Put Away.
  • LN allows you to add cost items for the warehouse orders that have the origin Project (Manual) and Project Contract.
  • The origin Project Contract is used for the orders that originate from the project contracts.
General Ledger Tab

This tab is displayed only if the Warehouse Orders check box is selected in the Allow Ledger Account Entry group box, in the Financial Integration Parameters (tcfin0100m000) session.

The fields on the General Ledger tab are enabled only if:

  • The order is created manually, such as Purchase (Manual) or Sales (Manual).
  • For an order the Inventory Transaction Type is set to Transfer, the Ship-from code is set to Warehouse, the warehouse specified with the Ship-to code is of the type, Shop floor, and the item specified is of the type, floor stock or the item specified in the ship to item is empty.
Note

If the order is linked to an inbound or outbound order line, for which item is shipped or received respectively, these fields are disabled.

 

Warehouse Order
Order

The origin of the order. The origin refers to the package that initiated the warehousing order. The Transfer origin refers to Warehousing.

When you use Budget Control, warehousing orders of the following origin are allowed:

  • Service (Manual)
  • SFC Production (Manual)
  • Transfer (Manual)
Order

The code of the warehousing order. LN uses the series specified in the Series field of the Warehousing Orders (whinh2100m000) session to generate the order number. If the warehousing order is generated for an order from a package other than Warehousing, this number corresponds to the original order number and is not based on the series specified in the Series field.

Set

order set If kit handling is used, the order lines of an order set include the components of a subkit item.

Header Status

The status of the warehouse order header.

Inventory Transaction Type

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

The following inventory transaction types are available:

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

When you use Budget Control, any change in the Planned Delivery Date of all related inbound order lines is updated in the Budget Account Distribution (tcbgc1100m000) session for warehousing orders of transaction type Receipt Transactions and orders that have the following Order:

  • Service (Manual)
  • SFC Production (Manual)
Series

Calculate Planned Receipt Date

Calculates the planned receipt date based on the planned delivery date using the following formula:

planned receipt date = PDD + TT + CC

PDDPlanned delivery date
TTTransport time
CCCalendar correction (ship-to)

Note: When LN calculates the planned receipt date and the lead times are expressed in hours, LN takes into account all the time that is available on a day according to the actual calendar. However, if the lead times are expressed in days, LN considers a day a whole day if the actual calendar indicates that time is available on that day.

Example 1: lead times in hours. Planned delivery date: Wednesday 10:00:00. Transport time (in hours): 8. The carrier's actual calendar has a 7:00:00 start time and a 17:00:00 end time. The ship-to business partner's actual calendar has an 8:30:00 start time and an 18:00:00 end time. Both actual calendars are available from Monday through Friday each week.

The carrier will transport the goods for seven hours on Wednesday (from 10:00:00 until 17:00:00) and for one hour on Thursday (from 7:00:00 until 8:00:00). Thus, according to the carrier's calendar, the planned receipt date is Thursday 8:00:00. However, also, taking into account the ship-to business partner's actual calendar, the planned receipt date is Thursday 8:30:00.

Example 2: lead times in days. Planned delivery date: Wednesday 16:00:00. Transport time (in days): 2. The carrier's actual calendar has a 7:00:00 start time and a 17:00:00 end time. The ship-to business partner's actual calendar has an 8:30:00 start time and an 18:00:00 end time. Both actual calendars are available from Monday through Friday each week.

If the actual calendar indicates that time is available on a day, the day is considered a whole day. Thus, Wednesday is considered a whole day according to the carrier's actual calendar, because one hour is left. The transport will thus take place on Wednesday and Thursday. The default planned receipt date is Friday 7:00:00 according to the carrier's actual calendar. However, also, taking into account the ship-to business partner's actual calendar, the default planned receipt date is Friday 8:30:00.

Note: If the planned delivery date is not specified, LN sets the planned delivery date to the current date.

Calculate Planned Delivery Date

Calculates the planned delivery date based on the planned receipt date using the following formula:

PRD - CC - TT - CCsf

PRDPlanned receipt date
CCCalendar correction (ship-to)
TTTransport time
CCsfCalendar correction (ship-from)

Note: When LN calculates the planned delivery date and the lead times are expressed in hours, LN takes into account all the time that is available on a day according to the actual calendar. However, if the lead times are expressed in days, LN considers a day a whole day if the actual calendar indicates that time is available on that day.

Example 1: lead times in hours. Planned receipt date: Friday 17:30:00. Transport time (in hours): 10. The ship-to business partner's actual calendar has an 8:30:00 start time and a 17:00:00 end time. The carrier's actual calendar has a 7:30:00 start time and an 18:00:00 end time. The ship-from's actual calendar has an 8:00:00 start time and a 17:00:00 end time. These calendars are all available from Monday through Friday each week.

According to the ship-to business partner's actual calendar, receipt cannot take place at Friday 17:30:00. Therefore the corrected planned receipt date is Friday 17:00:00. According to the carrier's actual calendar, the carrier will carry the goods 9.5 hours on Friday (from 7:30:00 until 17:00:00) and half an hour on Thursday (from 17:30:00 until 18:00:00). According to the ship-from's actual calendar, the goods cannot be delivered at Thursday 17:30:00. Therefore, the corrected planned delivery date is Thursday 17:00:00.

Example 2: lead times in days. Planned receipt date: Friday 9:00:00. Transport time (in days): 2. The ship-to business partner's actual calendar has an 8:30:00 start time and a 17:00:00 end time. The carrier's actual calendar has a 7:30:00 start time and an 18:00:00 end time. The ship-from's actual calendar has an 8:00:00 start time and a 17:00:00 end time. These calendars are all available from Monday through Friday each week.

According to the ship-to business partner's actual calendar, receipt can take place at Friday 9:00:00. Therefore, no calendar correction (ship-to) is needed. If the actual calendar indicates that time is available on a day, the day is considered a whole day. Thus, according to the carrier's actual calendar, Friday is considered a whole day, which means Friday and Thursday are transport days. According to the carrier's actual calendar, the planned delivery date is Thursday 7:30:00. However, taking into account the ship-from business partner's actual calendar, the planned delivery date is Wednesday 17:00:00 because Thursday at 7:30:00 the ship-from business partner's actual calendar is not open.

Note

  • If the planned receipt date is not specified, LN sets both the planned receipt date and the planned delivery date to the current date.
  • If the calculated planned delivery date is before the current date, LN sets the planned delivery date to the current date.
Activate

Use this command to change the status of the selected order from Planned to Open. For more information, refer to Planned status for warehousing orders and order lines. If the header status is Planned, Modified or when the order lines are set to Planned status, you can activate the order from the warehouse order header.

Deactivate

Use this command to change the status of the selected order from Open to Planned. For more information, refer to Planned status for warehousing orders and order lines. You can deactivate the order at header level only when the header status is Open or Modified and when at least one of the lines is set to Open status. If you deactivate, the order line status changes from Open to Planned.

Process

Use this command to process the selected order lines or the order lines of the selected orders. You must use this command to start processing warehousing orders whose first activity is set to automatic processing and that are manually created or originating from Project.

In addition, if normally the first activity for a particular warehousing order type is performed manually, but you change this to automatic for a particular order or order line, you must click the Process button to start processing the order or order line.

Related Order

This command is available for multi-company transfers. Use this command to view the transfer order for the related company, which enables you to view information on the items to be transferred in the related company. If you are working in the from-company, click this command to view the related order in the to-company. If you access the order in the to-company, click this command to view the related order in the from-company.

The order number of the transfer order for the related company can be different. The reason is that each company can have different number groups and series for transfer orders.

If you create a transfer order to transfer items to a warehouse in a different company, LN creates the transfer order for both the from-company and the to-company. The from-company is the issuing company and the to-company is the receiving company.
