Inbound and outbound procedures

Inbound and outbound processing of goods

To process the goods in LN, you can take either of the following steps:

• Process the warehousing order lines that list the goods

  If you process the warehousing order lines, by default, LN processes the goods according to the warehousing procedure that is linked to the warehouse order type of the warehousing order to which the order lines belong. For individual warehousing orders or order lines, you can modify the default warehousing procedure. For further information on defining and modifying warehousing procedures, see To define warehousing procedures and How to modify warehousing procedures.

• Process the handling units that contain the goods

  To process a handling unit, the handling unit must be linked to a warehousing order line. If you process a handling unit, the handling unit is processed according to the warehousing procedure of the warehousing order line. For each procedure step that a handling unit takes, the order lines are updated in the background.

Inbound goods are listed on inbound order lines, and outbound goods are listed on outbound order lines. Inbound and outbound order lines are generated from orders originating from other LN packages or are manually created in Warehousing. For more information, refer to Warehousing orders.

Depending on your data setup, handling units can be generated automatically for inbound or outbound goods, or you can generate or manually create handling units during any of the stages of the inbound and outbound goods flow.

You can view the progress of order lines or handling units during warehouse processing in the following sessions:

• Inbound Line Status Overview (whinh2119m000)
• Outbound Line Status Overview (whinh2129m000)
• Handling Unit Process Inbound (whinh2113m000)
• Handling Unit Process Outbound (whinh2123m000)

These sessions show the activities that have been performed for the order lines or the handling units, and show the next activity that you must perform. In addition, in these sessions you can perform activities that must be performed manually.

Tax and Registration Data is not complete

The message “Tax and Registration Data is not complete for < ID of originating order >” means that required tax and registration data is not present for the warehousing order, receipt, or shipment that you are currently processing. You cannot continue processing until the missing data has been specified on the originating order.

This message can be displayed if the Extended Registration Management field is set to Active in the Global Registration Parameters (tctax2100m000).

Tax and registration data are maintained in the Tax and Registration Data (tctax2150m000) session.
