To define warehousing order types

Warehousing order types determine how warehousing orders are handled. Warehousing order types are classified by inventory transaction type. The inventory transaction type that you add to a warehousing order type determines the type of warehousing procedure that you can link to the warehousing order type. The activities that must be carried out in order to handle warehousing orders are, by default, determined by the warehousing procedures that are linked to the warehousing order types.

Warehousing order types are linked to warehousing orders when warehousing orders are generated from other packages or when you manually create a warehousing order in the Warehousing Orders (whinh2100m000) session.

Define warehousing order types

In the Warehousing Order Types (whinh0110m000) session, you can specify warehousing order types for the following inventory-transaction types:

Receipt
Use a warehousing order type of inventory transaction type Receipt to receive goods in a warehouse. You can link a Receipt Procedure and, optionally, an Inspection Procedure to a warehousing order type of inventory transaction type Receipt.
Issue
Use a warehousing order type of inventory transaction type Issue to issue goods from a warehouse. You can link a Outbound Procedure and a Shipment Procedure to a warehousing order type of inventory transaction type Issue Note: LN allows you to modify the outbound order line data based on the value the Allow Updating Outbound Order Lines up to and including field is set to in the Warehousing Order Types (whinh0110m000) session.
Transfer
Use a warehousing order type of inventory transaction type Transfer to transfer goods between warehouses, locations, business partners, projects, or work centers.
You must link these procedures to a warehousing order type of inventory transaction type Transfer:
- Receipt Procedure
- Inspection Procedure
- Outbound Procedure
- Shipment Procedure
A transfer involves either one or two warehouses. If items are transferred between two different warehouses, all activities of the warehousing procedures must be carried out. However, if a transfer takes place between two locations within the same warehouse, the receipt activities are not carried out. You can use transfer orders to define a replenishment system within a single warehouse. This system controls replenishment from bulk locations to pick locations. Note: LN allows you to modify the outbound order line data based on the value the Allow Updating Outbound Order Lines up to and including field is set to in the Warehousing Order Types (whinh0110m000) session.
Inspections in LN Quality are possible for warehouse orders having order origin Transfer (Manual) only if the QM Implemented parameter is selected for the order type Warehouse Transfer in the Quality Management Parameters (qmptc0100m000) session.
WIP Transfer
Use a warehousing order type of inventory transaction type WIP Transfer to transfer work from one costing work center to another.
