For other warehouse orders, the default extra Intrastat information set is the extra Intrastat information set you specified for the sales office or purchase office in the Department (tcmcs0165s000) session. You can change the extra Intrastat information set on the warehouse order lines.

ID Mask

The mask that is used to generate kanban signal identification numbers in the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2110s000) session.

If you do not specify a kanban signal ID mask, LN uses the kanban signal ID mask specified in the ID Mask field in the Warehouse Master Data Parameters (whwmd0100s000) session.

If you do not specify a kanban ID mask in the current field session nor in the Warehouse Master Data Parameters (whwmd0100s000) session, you cannot use kanban signals.

Reuse Kanban Signals

If this check box is selected, kanban signals are reused after the supply orders are processed.

The setting of this check box is defaulted from the Reuse Kanban Signals in the Warehouse Master Data Parameters (whwmd0100s000) session.

You cannot clear this check box if inactive kanban signals are present for the current warehouse.

Project WIP Warehouse

If this check box is selected, the warehouse can be used to ship project-related deliverables to a business partner.

Use Project Deliverables (tppdm7100m000) session to ship project-related deliverables:

From the project WIP warehouse to the business partner.
From the project location via project WIP warehouse to the business partner.

Note:

If this check box is selected, the Inventory Valuation Method is set to Standard Cost.
If this check box is selected, the project-related inventory is financially accounted as part of the reconciliation group project (TP) WIP.

General

Locations

If this check box is selected, the warehouse uses locations. A warehouse can contain multiple inventory locations.

WMS Controlled

If this check box is selected, the warehouse is controlled by an external warehouse management system integrated with LN. Note that a financial warehouse cannot be WMS controlled.

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 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 of this check box applies to the current warehouse. The default value is taken from the Confirm Receipt as Final field in the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session.

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 Warn value to Block, 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.

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.

Include in Enterprise Planning

If this check box is selected, the transactions recorded for this warehouse are taken into account in the Generate Master Planning (cprmp1202m000) session and the Generate Order Planning (cprrp1210m000) session in Enterprise Planning .

If this check box is cleared, any inventory on hand and planned warehouse transactions recorded for this warehouse will be ignored in the planning process. The inventory in this warehouse is also ignored when the ATP is checked upon entry of sales orders and quotations. You can use such a warehouse to store, for example, quarantine items, and other inventory that is not subject to Enterprise Planning .

Note:

This check box is cleared and cannot be changed if the Warehouse Type field is set to:
- Project
- Service Customer Owned
- Service Reject
- Consignment (Owned)
If you change this check box from cleared to selected, the transactions recorded for this warehouse are included in the next regenerative run. A net-change run does not take this warehouse's transactions into account, because LN does not select the Net Change check box.
Before you can clear this check box, you must first delete any existing planned order recorded for this warehouse. No plan item must use this warehouse as its default warehouse in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session or the Item Planning Defaults (cprpd1110m000) session.
If you select this check box for a warehouse of type Service, the effects are:
- The order-planning process takes the service requirements into account.
- Planned production orders can consume the inventory in the warehouse.
The first effect is usually intended, the second effect can be an undesired side effect. To avoid that planned production orders consume inventory in a service warehouse, you can assign the service warehouse and the production warehouse to two different clusters.

Default value

If the Warehouse Type field is Normal, Shop Floor, or Consignment (Not Owned), the check box is selected by default. If the Warehouse Type field is Service, the check box is cleared by default.

Quarantine Inventory

If this check box is selected, LN stores quarantine inventory in the warehouse. If the warehouse is location controlled, you must also specify a quarantine location. If a reject location exists, LN stores quarantined goods in the quarantine location.

The rejected goods are stored in the warehouse or in the quarantine location at the moment of rejection.

If this check box is cleared, LN removes rejected goods from inventory. As a result, the rejected goods no longer exist. The rejected goods are removed from inventory at the moment of rejection.

If the current check box is selected and rejected inventory is stored in the warehouse, the check box is read-only.

Warehouse

The default quarantine warehouse of the current warehouse for items rejected during production.

Use Handling Units

If this check box is selected, you can move handling units to quarantine inventory.

To use handling units in quarantine inventory, for the relevant warehouses also select the Quarantine Inventory check box.

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 inbound advice for the current warehouse. 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).

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.

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.

Allow Other Items on Fixed Multi-Item Locations

If this check box is selected, for every location-controlled warehouse 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.

Generate Handling Unit for Shipment Header during Picking

If this check box is selected, handling units are generated automatically when the picks are confirmed. The handling units are generated based on relevant package definitions/handling unit templates.

Consolidate Handling Units in one Shipment Line during Picking

If this check box is selected, multiple handling units picked for a specific outbound line are linked to one shipment line during the confirmation of the picking.

If this check box is cleared, separate shipment lines are generated for each handling unit during the confirmation of the picking.

Note:

This parameter is relevant in case handling units are in stock and picked from stock. The parameter is not so relevant when handling units are (automatically) created during the confirmation of the picking.

Always

Always generate handling units automatically from inbound ASNs.

Handling Unit Received

Generate a handling unit if the inbound ASN includes handling unit codes provided by the supplier. LN generates an internal handling unit code if the external handling unit field has a value. If LN generates an internal handling unit code, LN creates an internal handling unit code that is identical to the external handling unit code. However, if an identical handling unit code exists in LN before the arrival of the ASN, this would result in duplicate records. In such cases, LN generates a new unique internal handling unit code using the mask functionality. The new internal code is also saved on the ASN.

For Ownership/Specification

Generate a handling unit when an inbound advance shipment notice (ASN) is created and the the value of the ownership registration level for the item, warehouse and business partner is Physical Item or Physical Item and Location.

Note that for this option to work, for the current warehouse and/or item, handling units must be in use for receipts, inbound and outbound inspections, and shipments. For further information about other settings required for handling units and ownership registration, see Ownership registration setup in Warehousing.

If this check box is selected, LN automatically labels all (parent and child) handling unit levels of a multi-item handling unit.

When a labeled single-item parent handling unit, which has non-labeled child handling units, is changed into a multi-item handling unit, and the Automatic Labeling of Multi-Item Handling Unit check box is selected, LN automatically marks all its child handling unit levels as labeled. Only the multi-item handling units and single-item handling units which are linked to a multi-item parent handling unit are marked as labeled. If the multi-item handling unit is subsequently reversed to a single item handling unit, so the compose action which created the multi-item handling unit is reversed, the child handling units will remain labeled. If desired, you must manually change the child handling units into non-labeled handling units. Examples of Changing Handling Units (Single Item<=> Multi-Item)

For more information, refer to the Multi-Item Label Layout field in the Handling Units (whwmd5130m000) session.

Dynamic Cross-docking

If this check box is selected, dynamic cross-docking is possible in this warehouse.

Note:

This field can only be selected if, in the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session, the Dynamic Cross-docking check box is selected.
If a cross-dock order exists for this warehouse, you cannot clear this check box.

Generate Cross-dock Order for Outbound Advice Shortage

If this check box is selected, and, after generating an outbound advice, an inventory shortage occurs, a cross-dock order is created for the inventory shortage.

Note: In the Generate Outbound Advice (whinh4201m000) session, you can still select or clear this check box. However, if you generate an outbound advice directly, for example, from within the Outbound Order Lines (whinh2120m000) session, this option applies to the warehouse-item level ( Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2510m000)/ Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2110s000)).

Note:

The default value is the value as defined in the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session.
If this field is empty when creating a cross-dock order, the cross-dock order priority definition will be retrieved from the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session.

Restriction Definition

cross-dock restriction definition

Generate Cross-dock Order when Releasing Order to Warehousing

Indicates the conditions that govern the generation of cross-dock orders, when an issue order is released to Warehousing . The value in the field is defaulted from the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session.

To enable this field, you must select the Dynamic Cross-docking check box. If you clear the Dynamic Cross-docking check box, the Generate Cross-dock Order when Releasing Order to Warehousing field is set to Never.

Never

No cross-dock orders are created.

Always

Cross-dock orders are created when, for example, sales orders are released to Warehousing . Every cross-dock order is created for the entire order quantity.

Time Phased Shortage

Cross-dock orders are created when, for example, sales orders are released to Warehousing . For each order, LN checks whether there will be an inventory shortage on the planned delivery date. In case of inventory shortage, a cross-dock order is created for the entire order quantity. The expected inventory is calculated based on the following types of transactions:

On-hand inventory
Planned issue transactions
Planned receipt transactions

Time Phased Shortage, Ignoring Receipts

Cross-dock orders are created for the entire order quantity of the outbound order line, when the time phased inventory is less than zero. You can select the Time Phased Shortage, Ignoring Receipts option, when you are not certain about the supplier's on-time delivery performance.

If you select the Time Phased Shortage, Ignoring Receipts option, the expected time phased inventory on the planned delivery date is calculated based on:

Current available inventory ( inventory on hand less the inventory blocked).
Planned inventory issue transactions, including:
- Inventory issue transactions for the planned delivery date.
- Other issue orders within the order lead time, but cannot be replenished with that time.

Time phased inventory = available inventory - planned inventory issue transactions

The planned inventory receipt transactions are excluded from the calculation. Therefore, the receipt transactions are not added to the expected time phased inventory.

Note: When an issue order is released to Warehousing or when you create a manual warehouse issue order, the value of the Generate Cross-dock Order when Releasing Order to Warehousing field in the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2510m000) session determines how the time phased inventory on the planned delivery date of the outbound order line is calculated.

Shipments

Generate Shipments

Shipment through Warehouse

Items issued from the current warehouse are shipped from the warehouse selected in this field.

The warehouse selected in this field is the main warehouse of the current warehouse. The current warehouse is a sub warehouse of the selected main warehouse.

Note:

Warehouses that are themselves linked to a main warehouse are unavailable.
This field is unavailable if the current warehouse is defined as a main warehouse for one or more other warehouses.
This field is only available for warehouses of type Normal.

If the same main warehouse is also selected for other sub warehouses, the items issued from these warehouses are shipped from the main warehouse. The shipment lines created for the issued items can be consolidated into one shipment.

Generate Shipments

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 From field and the 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 From and To fields based on the value of the current field.


Current field	From	To
Per Exact Planned Delivery Date/Time	The outbound-order line's exact planned delivery date and time.	The outbound-order line's exact planned delivery date and time.
For Planned Delivery Day	The 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 Including Planned Delivery Day	-	The latest planned delivery date present on the corresponding outbound advice with time 23:59.
Within Time Interval	Shipment 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.

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.

Shipment Building

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.

Example


Unique Shipment Reference per Shipment = No Single Picking Mission per Shipment = Yes
Run Number	Warehouse	Picking Mission	Shipment Reference	Shipment
1	WRH01	1	REF001	SH0000001
1	WRH01	2	REF001	SH0000002
1	WRH01	3	REF003	SH0000003


Unique Shipment Reference per Shipment = Yes Single Picking Mission per Shipment = Yes
Run Number	Warehouse	Picking Mission	Shipment Reference	Shipment
