Warehousing Settings by Site (whwmd2101m000)

Use this session to view and maintain warehousing data and settings for individual sites.

In most tabs of this session, a Use Global check box is present. The settings of these check boxes determine whether the company parameter settings are used, or settings for individual sites can be specified. For example, the Use Global Outbound Parameters check box determines whether company settings are used or site specific settings can be specified in the fields of the Outbound tab.

 

Site

The site for which the warehousing settings are defined.

Address

The address of the site.

Logistic Company

The logistic company to which the site is linked.

External

If this check box is selected, the site belongs to an external party such as a customer or a subcontractor.

An external site can include warehouses in which inventory owned by your company is stored, and for which your company performs planning.

User

The user who made the most recent changes in this session.

Allow Other Items on Fixed Multi-Item Locations

If this check box is selected, for every location-controlled warehouse of the current site you can define a default value in the Allow Other Items field in the Warehouse - Locations (whwmd3500m000) session.

You can define a fixed location for an item in the Fixed Locations (whwmd3502m000) session. A fixed location can be a multi-item location with different items and for each item, the location is defined as fixed location. The fixed locations are used for inbound advice and replenishment location matrix.

When an inbound advice is generated, LN checks for a fixed location for the item:

  • If found, LN generates an inbound advice from receiving location to the fixed location.
  • If not found, LN generates an inbound advice from receiving location to a free (non-fixed) location.
Note
  • LN defaults the value only when you define a multi-item location as a fixed location for an item in the Fixed Locations (whwmd3502m000) session.
  • LN allows you to generate an inbound advice to a fixed multi-item location which is not defined as a fixed location for the item.
Check on Duplicate Receipts

If this check box is selected, during receipt entry the application checks whether the receipt is already present.

The receipt being created is a duplicate if the following data match a receipt present in LN:

  • Order Origin
  • Order
  • Order Line
  • Packing Slip Received

If a duplicate is found, the created receipt line is blocked and a message is displayed showing a blocking reason and indicating the receipt line of which the blocked receipt line is a duplicate.

Indicates whether, or which, non-physical item type is printed in the Print Receipts (whinh3412m000) session.

Print Manufactured Item or Components

Indicates whether the manufactured main item, the manufactured item's components, or both are printed on the goods-received note.

Note
  • If the Inventory Handling field in the Purchase Order Lines (tdpur4101m000) session is set to By Component, and you choose Components, LN will print the components defined in the Bill of Material (tibom1110m000) session on the goods-received note.
  • If the Inventory Handling field in the Purchase Order Lines (tdpur4101m000) session is set to By Component, and you choose Both, LN will print both the main item and the components that are defined in the Bill of Material (tibom1110m000) session on the goods-received note. The main item is printed underlined without quantities.
Generate ASNs Automatically

If this check box is selected, advanced shipping notes are automatically generated when you confirm a shipment.

If this check box is cleared, an advanced shipping note (ASN) is not automatically generated, but you can manually create an ASN in the Confirm Outbound ASN (whinh4230m100) session.

Receive Direct Delivery Automatically

If this check box is selected, the advance shipment notice (ASN) receipts of direct delivery orders which are processed through electronic data interchange (EDI) are confirmed automatically.

If this check box is cleared, the ASN receipts of direct delivery orders which are processed through EDI must be confirmed manually. To confirm the ASN manually, you must run the Receive Direct Delivery Lines command in the Shipment Notice (whinh3600m000) session. You can also modify the Actual Delivery Date and Packing Slip number if necessary.

You can also modify the details of Shipped Quantity and Shipped Quantity in Inventory Unit in the Shipment Notice - Lines (whinh3101m000) session.

Return Certificate

If this check box is selected, return certificates are generated for receipts based on sales return orders received in the warehouses of the current site. This is the default setting. Clear this check box to disable the use of return certificates for the current site.

Related topics

Reset Return Certificate

If this check box is selected, the sequence section of the return certificate number is reset at the beginning of the fiscal year. The first date of the fiscal year is retrieved from Financials.

Any changes to these settings become effective for new inbound activities for the current warehouse. Activities that are in process while the changes are made are not affected by the changes. They remain controlled by the previous settings.

Note

This field is unavailable if:

  • In the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session, either of these conditions applies:

    • The Return Certificates check box is cleared.
    • The Format of Return Certificate field is set to Warehouse, Fiscal Year and Sequence.
  • A main warehouse is selected for the current warehouse in the Shipment through Warehouse field. The values specified for the main warehouse apply to the current warehouse. For more information, refer to Multiwarehouse shipments.

Print Cost/Service Item
Print Manufactured Item or Components
Series for Return Certificates

The series used to generate return certificate ID codes.

Use Global Outbound Parameters

If this check box is selected, outbound settings specified in the Warehousing parameter sessions are copied to their counterparts of the Outbound tab in the current session. These settings are read-only. See Warehouse data and settings on company level.

Restrict Picking by Location Type

This check box only applies to inventory that is stored, with package definitions. For each package definition level you must specify whether the location type is Pick or Bulk.

If this check box is selected, and an outbound advice is generated:

  • Only pick locations are checked on the availability of inventory for package definition levels with the Pick location type.
  • Only bulk locations are checked on the availability of inventory for package definition levels with the Bulk location type.

Therefore, if an outbound advice is generated for an item with a package definition, LN strictly adheres to the location type that is specified for the package definition level.

This prevents, for example, that pieces and small boxes are picked from pallets in bulk locations. And bulk locations consequently continue to act as bulk locations.

If this check box is cleared, and an outbound advice is generated, the location type of the package definition level acts as the preferred location type. LN first checks locations on the availability of inventory for the location type of the package definition level. If no inventory is available for the preferred location type, or not enough, LN checks the other location type on the availability of inventory.

Minimal Picks

If this check box is selected, and an outbound advice is generated, LN searches for the minimum number of picks needed to get the quantity specified on an order line. For this purpose, LN searches for the largest stock point. If the entire quantity cannot be picked from the largest stock point, LN moves on to the second largest stock point, and so on, until the entire quantity is picked.

For example, sales order 27500157 lists 15 items VIN. Item VIN is lot controlled and stored in Warehouse WH00131:

LocationLotItemQuantityUnit
A1VIN5PCS
A2VIN5PCS
A3VIN5PCS
B4VIN6PCS
B5VIN6PCS

 

As a result, in the Generate Outbound Advice (whinh4201m000) session, LN generates the following outbound advice for sales order 27500157:

LocationLotItemQuantityUnit
B4VIN6PCS
B5VIN6PCS
A1VIN3PCS

 

The Generate Outbound Advice (whinh4201m000) session advises the quantity based on the setting of the warehouse parameter Outbound Method in the Item - Warehousing (whwmd4600m000) session and inventory handling parameter Minimal Picks in the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session. The FIFO/LIFO dates have higher priority and overrule the minimal picks functionality. The minimal picks functionality is based on quantities. LN first sorts the stock points based on the outbound priority LIFO/FIFO and then uses the Minimal Picks parameter. LN searches for stock points with Last/First inventory dates first and after that selects the largest stock points to minimize the picked items units.

Note: Handling units are always selected using minimal picks. In this case also the outbound priority LIFO/FIFO is higher than the Minimal Picks.

If this check box is cleared, the FIFO/LIFO date overrules the quantity. This can result in more picks for each order line than the minimal picks. For items that have the same FIFO/LIFO date, LN orders the quantities starting with the smallest quantity.

Effective Date

The first day on which a record or a setting is valid. The effective date often includes the effective time.

Check Shipping Constraint during Release Advice

The setting of this check box determines how LN handles the outbound movement of sales order lines for which value Ship Set Complete, Ship Kit Complete, or Ship Order Complete is selected in the Shipping Constraint field of the Sales Order Lines (tdsls4101m000) session.

If this check box is selected, outbound advice is generated but not released until inventory for all order lines is present, even if outbound advice is set to automatic release in the applicable warehousing procedure. However, if at this point the inventory is insufficient to fulfil the order, LN deletes the just generated outbound advice for all order lines.

For value Ship Kit Complete, LN advises quantities that make up complete subkits. Any remaining quantities are not advised. For more information, refer to Overview of kit handling in Warehouse Management.

In this way, the inventory is available for other orders comprising lower quantities.

If this check box is cleared, outbound advice is generated and released. Before confirming the related shipment lines, LN checks if:

  • For all order lines shipment lines are present.
  • For each shipment line, the available inventory is sufficient. If there is inventory shortage, the shipment lines cannot be confirmed until replenishment has taken place.

    This may result in numerous shipments waiting at the staging area until the warehouse is replenished. If this is a likely scenario, you may consider selecting this check box.

Allow Changes to Confirmed Load/Shipments

If this check box is selected, LN allows addition of shipment lines to shipments and shipments to loads for loads and shipments with status Confirmed.

Advise Unallocated Inventory

If this check box is selected, unallocated inventory is available to be advised for an outbound-order line with a specification.

Note

This option is applicable if the Demand Pegging check box is selected in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0500m000) details session.

Demand Peg of Outbound Line is Binding

If this check box is selected, only inventory with a specification identical to the outbound-order line is available to be advised.

Note

This option is applicable if the Demand Pegging check box is selected in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0500m000) details session.

Revision of Order Binding when Generating Outbound Advice

If this check box is selected, LN only generates outbound advice for lots that include the revisions of engineering items that are the same as the revisions as recorded on the outbound-order line. So, the revision on the outbound-order line is binding for the revision of the outbound advice.

Default value

The default value is derived from the Engineering Revisions check box of the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session. If the Engineering Revisions check box is selected, the current check box is also selected. If the Engineering Revisions check box is cleared, the current check box is disabled.

Revision of Order Binding when Manually Entering Outbound Advice

If this check box is selected, you can only manually create outbound advice for lots that include the revisions of engineering items that are the same as the revisions as recorded on the outbound-order line. So, the revision on the outbound-order line is binding for the revision of the outbound advice.

Default value

The default value is derived from the Engineering Revisions check box of the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session. If the Engineering Revisions check box is selected, the current check box is also selected. If the Engineering Revisions check box is cleared, the current check box is disabled.

Inventory Consumptions

The number group used to generate numbers for sales orders with origin Sales (Manual) and shipments, that both represent inventory consumptions.

These numbers are shown in the Order and the Shipment field of the Item - Warehouse - Inventory Transactions (whinr1510m000) session and the Order field of the Inventory Consumptions (whina1514m000) session.

Series for Inventory Consumptions

The series used to generate sales orders with origin Sales (Manual) and shipments, that both represent inventory consumptions.

These numbers are shown in the Order and the Shipment field of the Item - Warehouse - Inventory Transactions (whinr1510m000) session and the Order field of the Inventory Consumptions (whina1514m000) session.

Loads

The number group used to generate load numbers.

Warehouse Valuation Group

An entity that is used to group warehouses for inventory valuation purposes. To define a warehouse valuation group, you must link a warehouse valuation group code to the warehouses that you want to include in the warehouse valuation group. Warehouse valuation groups and item valuation groups are linked, for example, to inventory valuation methods to valuate the item-warehouse combinations included in the warehouse and item valuation groups.

Series for Loads

The series used to generate load numbers.

Inbound Shipments

The number group used to generate shipment numbers.

Series for Inbound Shipments (Shipment Notices)

The series used to generate inbound shipment numbers.

Item/Item Group Storage Conditions

If this check box is selected, LN prints the Item/Item Group Storage Conditions on documents/reports that belong to the outbound procedure.

Warehouse/Location Storage Conditions

If this check box is selected, LN prints the Warehouse/Location Storage Conditions on documents/reports that belong to the outbound procedure.

Export Compliance Provider

Indicates whether export compliance is in use.

Performance aspects

The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth. For more information, refer to Disable unused concepts in Warehousing.

Generate Shipments For

This field determines the way the time interval of a shipment is set when a new shipment is created. The shipment's time interval is the time between the dates and times in the Shipment Date Interval field and the Shipment Date To field in the Shipments (whinh4130m000) session.

Based on the time interval:

  • LN automatically adds outbound-order lines to the shipment.
  • You can manually add outbound-order lines to the shipment.

When shipments are generated, LN determines the default values for the Shipment Date Interval and Shipment Date To fields based on the value of the current field.

Current field Shipment Date Interval Shipment Date To
Per Exact Planned Delivery Date/TimeThe outbound-order line's exact planned delivery date and time.The outbound-order line's exact planned delivery date and time.
For Planned Delivery DateThe outbound-order line's planned delivery date with time 0:00.The outbound-order line's planned delivery date with time 23:59:59.
Up to and Incl. Planned Delivery Date-The latest planned delivery date present on the corresponding outbound advice with time 23:59.
Within Time IntervalShipment Date From = Shipment Creation Date - Minimum Shipment Interval (in hours or calendar days)Shipment Date To = Shipment Creation Date + Maximum Shipment Interval (in hours or calendar days)

 

Within Time Interval

The Within Time Interval option is unavailable for financial warehouses.

If the Unique Shipment Reference per Shipment criteria is selected in the Warehousing Order Types (whinh0110m000) session, the shipment interval is set based on the earliest planned delivery date and the latest planned delivery date of the corresponding outbound order lines, which contain the unique reference. This criteria overrules all the other criteria, including the shipment interval.

You can add shipment lines for the same customer to a shipment that already exists on a staging location if the status of the shipment is not Frozen or Confirmed.

If the time interval is expressed in calendar days, the shipment dates must be rounded off to entire calendar days, starting at 00:00:00 AM and ending at 23:59:59 PM.

Note

This field is unavailable if a main warehouse is selected for the current warehouse in the Shipment through Warehouse field. The values specified for the main warehouse apply to the current warehouse. For more information, refer to Multiwarehouse shipments.

Single Picking Mission per Shipment

If this check box is selected, LN generates a separate shipment for each new picking mission if no suitable existing shipment can be found.

Note

The Single Picking Mission per Shipment option:

  • Does not apply in case of financial warehouse.

  • Does not apply in case of composing a shipment or load.

Single load for the same Ship-from Address, Carrier and Route

The shipment building engine combines multiple shipments into the same load in case the Ship-from Address, the Carrier, and the Route on these shipments are identical. This implies that no new loads are created in case the ship-to address of the (additional) shipment differs.

Note

In case the Unique Shipment Reference per Shipment criteria is selected in the Warehousing Order Types (whinh0110m000) session, the shipment interval is set based on the earliest planned delivery date and the latest planned delivery date of the corresponding outbound order lines (containing the unique reference). This criteria overrules all the other criteria, including the Single Picking Mission per Shipment, because it cannot create multiple shipments with the same shipment reference.

  • This field is unavailable if a main warehouse is selected for the current warehouse in the Shipment through Warehouse field. The values specified for the main warehouse apply to the current warehouse. For more information, refer to Multiwarehouse shipments.

Add Orders Based On

The shipment selection criteria based on which the new shipments are linked to already existing shipments. When new orders are picked, LN must determine if the orders fall within the shipment interval. You can set the criteria based on which the shipment interval can be matched against the planned delivery date of the order or against the time of picking of the order. The orders that fall within this shipment interval can be added to an existing shipment.

You can select from the following available criteria:

  • Time of Picking

    If the time when the picking list is confirmed falls within the shipment interval, the order line is linked to the existing shipment. Otherwise, a new shipment is created.

  • Planned Delivery Date

    If the planned delivery date falls within the shipment interval, the order line is linked to the existing shipment. Otherwise, a new shipment is created.

Note
  • The field is available if the Within Time Interval option is selected.

  • This field is unavailable if a main warehouse is selected for the current warehouse in the Shipment through Warehouse field. The values specified for the main warehouse apply to the current warehouse. For more information, refer to Multiwarehouse shipments.

Update Shipping Material Account during

The field determines the stage in the supply process at which the packaging-item related transactions are updated in the shipping material accounts by LN in case of a logistical service provider (LSP) scenario. The field is enabled only for VMI warehouses in which warehouse management is not carried out by own company. The packaging-item related transactions can be updated by LN at the following points in the process:

  • Shipment to VMI Warehouse

    The shipping material account must be updated during shipment of (packaging) items from the normal warehouse to the VMI warehouse.

  • Consumption by Customer

    The shipping material account must be updated during shipment of (packaging) items from the VMI warehouse (Logistical Service Provider (LSP) warehouse) to the customer/OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer).

  • Not Applicable

    LN assigns this value for warehouses in which the own company is carrying out inventory management. To record the packaging item transactions, you must select the Extended Packaging Item Registration check box in the Warehouse Master Data Parameters (whwmd0100s000) session.

Note

This field is unavailable if a main warehouse is selected for the current warehouse in the Shipment through Warehouse field. The values specified for the main warehouse apply to the current warehouse. For more information, refer to Multiwarehouse shipments.

Use Global Inbound Parameters

If this check box is selected, inbound settings specified in the Warehousing parameter sessions are copied to their counterparts of the Inbound tab in the current session. These settings are read-only. See Warehouse data and settings on company level.

Zero Receipt Allowed

If this check box is selected, you can confirm zero receipts.

If this check box is cleared, you can only confirm zero receipts if the following conditions are met:

  • You already received goods for the order line
  • The receipt line is a final receipt

To make a final receipt line, select the Final Receipt check box on the Warehouse Receipt (whinh3512m000) session.

Confirm on Scan

If this check box is selected, the receipt of the goods listed on an order line or handling unit is automatically confirmed when the order line or handling unit is linked to a receipt record. To link a handling unit or order line to a receipt record, use the Receive command in the Warehouse Receipt (whinh3512m000) session. For more information, refer to Receive - easy entry.

LN enables integrations with software supporting bar code reading devices. If such configurations are in place, a receipt line is automatically created, linked to a receipt, and confirmed by scanning a handling unit label in the warehouse.

Note

You cannot change the contents of a receipt line, such as the received quantities, after it has been confirmed. Therefore, it is recommended not to select this check box if changes to receipt lines may be required.

Generate Lots for Effectivity Units Automatically

If this check box is selected, and you create effectivity units, LN generates lots.

Packing Slip Mandatory on Receipts for Purchase Orders

If this check box is selected, you must specify the packing slip number in the Warehouse Receipt (whinh3512m000) session when you receive purchased items.

Apart from purchase orders, you can set the packing slip number field as mandatory for any other type of orders. Example sales order, service order and so on.

To select the type of order for which the packing slip number must be specified, click the More button, the list of orders displays in a new window.

Confirm Receipt as Final

If this check box is selected, the Final Receipt check box is automatically selected for all receipt lines of a purchase order line receipt after the last receipt line is confirmed. For the receipt lines, the Final Receipt check box is made read-only.

The setting in this field is the default for all warehouses in your organization. In the Confirm Receipt as Final field of the Warehouses (whwmd2500m000) session, you can change this setting for individual warehouses.

If this check box is selected, end users are not required to (re-) check the received items while confirming receipts and manually select the Final Receipt check box. This will speed up the receipt procedure, which can be important if large numbers of receipt transactions are involved. As an additional result, the possible situation that back orders are not created because a user forgot to select the Final Receipt check box is prevented. On the other hand, if checking the received items while confirming receipts is required for the current warehouse, you must clear this check box.

The only way to undo the automatic selection of the Final Receipt check box for an individual receipt is to adjust the receipt quantities in the Receipt Correction (whinh3121s000) session. This session requires specific authorization.

Note

If this check box is selected, and receipt confirmation must be blocked if the received quantities are not fulfilled according to the receipt tolerances, you must redefine the receipt tolerances either by changing the Block value to Warn, or by adjusting the quantities.

You can define receipt tolerances and blockings in the Receiving group box of the Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session.

Revision of Order Binding when Entering Receipts

If this check box is selected, LN only generates inbound advice for revisions of engineering items on the order.

Default value

The default value is derived from the Engineering Revisions check box of the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session. If the Engineering Revisions check box is selected, the current check box is also selected. If the Engineering Revisions check box is cleared, the current check box is disabled.

Default Location Type

The type of location to which te received items are preferably advised.

Note
  • Locations of types Bulk and Pick have higher priority for inbound advice.
  • The value of the current field serves as default for the value of the Default Location Type for Inbound Advice field in the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2110s000) session.
Minimum % Free

The minimum free capacity percentage of a location to be considered for inbound advice.

Use Only Unoccupied Locations

If this check box is selected, the Generate Inbound Advice (whinh3201m000) session only advises unoccupied locations when you generate an inbound advice. If you clear this check box, LN advises both occupied and unoccupied locations with available capacity.

An occupied location is one at which inventory has been registered or at which capacity has been allocated as a result of inbound movement (advised or manually created).

Note

This parameter is only relevant to inbound advice.

Ignore Expected Decrease of Location Occupation

If this check box is selected, LN ignores the expected occupation decrease of the locations of the current warehouse when determining the available storage capacity. LN determines the storage capacity while generating inbound advice. If this check box is cleared, LN adds the expected occupation decrease to the available storage capacity when generating inbound advice.

The expected occupation decrease of a location is the quantity, weight, floor space and/or volume by which a location’s occupation is expected to be decreased based on the outbound advice generated for the location.

The expected occupation decreases when outbound advice is generated. The actual occupation decreases when the outbound advice is released or the picking list is confirmed. The expected occupation decrease is displayed in the Warehouse - Location - Capacity (whwmd3101s000) session.

Note

This check box is available if:

  • The warehouse is location-controlled. A warehouse is location-controlled if the Locations check box is selected.

  • The Use Only Unoccupied Locations check box is cleared.

Use Free (Unfixed) Locations

If this check box is selected, all locations are considered when generating inbound advice in the Generate Inbound Advice (whinh3201m000) session. If this check box is cleared, LN only takes fixed locations into consideration for advice.

Note

In the Fixed Locations (whwmd3502m000) session, you can record whether a location is a fixed or a free (that is, non-fixed) location for the item.
