To cancel warehousing orders

You can cancel all current or future orders or schedules for a specific business partner in the Sales Control module and in Service. You can choose to delete orders, for example, if contracts are broken or credit limits are exceeded. You can also terminate the material supply to a specific work center in Manufacturing. When these orders or schedules are canceled, the related warehousing orders must be triggered by the originating package and be canceled. Therefore, you can cancel the outbound-order lines that are related to the canceled orders or schedules, when triggered by the originating package.

Cancellation of outbound-order line

If the originating order of an outbound-order line is canceled, LN deletes the outbound-order line or selects the Canceled check box in the Outbound Order Lines (whinh2120m000) session, depending on the value of the Remove Canceled Outbound Order Lines upto and including field in the Warehousing Order Types (whinh0110m000) session. If the Remove Canceled Outbound Order Lines upto and including field has the value:

  • Generate Outbound Advice, LN deletes outbound-order lines with status Open or Advised. LN selects the Canceled check box in the Outbound Order Lines (whinh2120m000) session for outbound-order lines with one of the other statuses.
  • Release Outbound Advice, LN deletes outbound-order lines with the Open, Advised, or Released status. LN selects the Canceled check box in the Outbound Order Lines (whinh2120m000) session for outbound-order lines with one of the other statuses.

If the Canceled check box in the Outbound Order Lines (whinh2120m000) session is selected, the outbound-order line must be canceled. The outbound procedure must be followed. Cancellation is finalized during confirm picking or confirm shipment/load. In this scenario, the original order line must remain, until the outbound-order line is deleted or receives the Shipped status.

You can also reduce the ordered quantity of outbound-order lines with a status other than Shipped. The ordered quantity cannot become less than the quantity already shipped for the outbound-order line. You cannot ship more than ordered.

Note

If the outbound-order line is of a manual order origin and the originating order of the outbound-order line is canceled, LN always selects the current check box and does not delete the outbound-order line, irrespective of:

  • The outbound-order line's status.
  • The value of the Remove Canceled Outbound Order Lines upto and including field in the Warehousing Order Types (whinh0110m000) session.

If the outbound-order line is of a manual order origin or of the Transfer order origin, you can cancel or undo the cancellation of the outbound-order line by use of the Cancel and Undo Cancel options on the appropriate menu of the Outbound Order Lines (whinh2120m000) overview session.

Picking

During the picking process the user is informed that the outbound-order line is canceled as follows:

  • If the outbound-order line is already canceled when the picking list is generated, a message is printed on the picking list.
  • If the outbound-order line is canceled when picking is confirmed, the user gets the option to withdraw the picking and thus cancel the outbound-order line.

If shipments are not required (if the order origin is SFC Production and the outbound-order line is canceled), the required bookings for inventory are done when picking is confirmed. Two scenarios apply:

  • The warehouse or the item is not location controlled: the inventory bookings for the outbound advice are undone.
  • The warehouse and item are location controlled: the items are moved to the staging location and a warehousing order with order origin Transfer (Manual) is generated. By use of this warehousing order the items are put back to a pick or bulk location.
Approvals

If during inspection items are rejected for a canceled outbound-order line, the ordered quantity is reduced and logistical and financial allocations are deleted. A new outbound process is not possible for the quantity of rejected items. If the outbound-order line receives Open status, the outbound-order line is deleted. Logistical and financial allocations are also deleted.

Shipments

If a shipment line is confirmed for a canceled outbound-order line, you are informed about the cancelation by use of the Exception Report or messages. The quantity on the packing structure and the quantity shipped on the shipment line is reduced. For a partial reduction of the quantity ordered, first the highest packing structure levels are booked off. If some quantity remains, packing structure levels are broken up to a lower level in case of package definitions or to the inventory unit in case of no package definitions.
