Freeze and confirm combined or separate activities

Freezing and confirming shipments and loads is a combined activity performed in the Freeze/Confirm Shipments/Loads (whinh4275m000) session for shipment procedures created before LN version 2021.04. For these shipment procedures, you can split the combined activity into separate freeze and confirm activities.

Combined Freeze/Confirm Shipments/Loads activity

If freezing and confirming is a combined activity, shipments are automatically confirmed, without freezing, if you set this activity to automatic.

If not set to automatic performance, the Freeze/Confirm Shipments/Loads (whinh4275m000) session is started. In this session, you can confirm, or first freeze and then confirm shipments and loads.

If the shipment documents must be printed automatically, printing is started as soon as the status of the shipment or load changes from Open to Frozen or Confirmed, if the Freeze/Confirm Shipments/Loads (whinh4275m000) activity is set to automatic performance.

Split Freeze/Confirm Shipments/Loads into Freeze and Confirm activities

If required, you can convert the combined Freeze/Confirm Shipments/Loads (whinh4275m000) activity to these freeze and confirm activities:

  • Freeze
  • Confirm

Both activities are performed using the Freeze/Confirm Shipments/Loads (whinh4275m000) session.

To convert the freeze/confirm activity, select Split Freeze/Confirm Shipments/Loads Activity on the appropriate menu of these sessions:

  • Warehousing Order Types (whinh0110m000)
  • Shipment Activities by Procedure (whinh0106m400)
  • Warehousing Order Type (whinh0610m000)

    In this session, the conversion option is available in the header section and in the lines section of the Shipment Activities tab.

Note: The Split Freeze/Confirm Shipments/Loads Activity option is initially hidden. To make this option available, in the Warehousing Order Type (whinh0610m000) session, select Personalize Toolbar and from the Toolbar Preview, select Split Freeze/Confirm Shipments/Loads Activity below the Actions node and in the Properties pane, clear the Hidden check box. After restarting the Warehousing Order Type (whinh0610m000) session, the Split Freeze/Confirm Shipments/Loads Activity option is available.
