Outbound advice for committed inventory

By default, outbound advice is based on the ordered quantity of the outbound order lines. Outbound advice can also be based on the committed inventory that is present for the outbound order lines.

For this purpose, you must select the Committed Inventory only check box in the Generate Outbound Advice (whinh4201m000) session or the Process Outbound Advice (whinh4200m000) session.

Inventory commitments do not apply to all order origins. See Inventory commitment.

If the Committed Inventory only check box is selected, generating outbound advice for committed inventory is subject to these rules:

Outbound advice is based on the ordered quantity if inventory commitments do not apply to the selected order lines.
If inventory commitments apply to the order lines, but no committed inventory is present, no outbound advice is generated.
If inventory commitments apply, and the available committed inventory is less than the ordered quantity, outbound advice is based on the committed quantity.

Note: You cannot generate outbound advice based on committed inventory in the Outbound Order Lines (whinh2120m000) session, because the Committed Inventory only check box is unavailable in this session.

Automatically generate outbound advice based on committed inventory

Specify these settings to automatically generate outbound advice based on committed inventory:

In the Activities by Procedure (whinh0106m000) session, select the Automatic check box for the Generate Outbound Advice (whinh4201m000) activity.
In the Generate Outbound Advice (whinh4201m000) session, select the Committed Inventory only only check box and click Save Defaults.
In the Warehousing User Profiles (whwmd1140s000) session, select the Apply User Defaults of Sessions during Automatic Processing check box.

Calculation of the quantity to be advised

The table shows how the quantity to be advised is calculated , based on the ordered or the committed quantity:


Add or subtract	Quantity type
	Ordered or committed
-	Cancelled
-	Advised previously
-	Cross-docked
+	Rejected
+	Expected not shipped
+	Not shipped

Example

The table shows how the advised quantity is calculated, based on an ordered quantity of 100:


Add or subtract	Quantity	Quantity type
	100	Ordered
-	8	Cancelled
-	7	Advised previously
-	6	Cross-docked
+	5	Rejected
+	4	Expected not shipped
+	3	Not shipped
	91	Advised

If the ordered quantity is 100, but the committed quantity is 90 and inventory commitments are applicable for the order line, the advised quantity is calculated as displayed in the this table:


Add or subtract	Quantity	Quantity type
	100	Ordered
	90	Committed
-	8	Cancelled
-	7	Advised previously
-	6	Cross-docked
+	5	Rejected
+	4	Expected not shipped
+	3	Not shipped
	91	Advised
