Outbound advice

Outbound advice comprise instructions to move items to be issued out of the warehouse. Therefore, an individual line of an outbound advice might read as follows: Take 10 of item A from location Pick3 and put them in location Staging 5.

Generate outbound advice

Outbound movement of goods is initiated and controlled by a warehousing order of one of the following inventory-transaction types:

  • Issue
  • Transfer
  • WIP Transfer

Outbound movement of goods can also be triggered by a warehousing assembly order.

These warehousing orders can be generated automatically by other packages or modules in LN, or manually created in Warehousing.

A warehousing order has one or more outbound order lines. You can generate outbound advice for an outbound order line in the Generate Outbound Advice (whinh4201m000) session. This advice shows where the goods must be taken from and where they must go. You can group several outbound advice lines to be run at the same time. You can view the outbound advice in the Outbound Advice (whinh4525m000) session.

Release outbound advice

You can release outbound advice in the Release Outbound Advice (whinh4202m000) session. After the advice is released, you can put the advice on a picking list by generating the picking list for a run. On the picking list, the outbound advice lines are grouped by run and picking mission. You can confirm an individual advice line, picking mission, or an entire run.

Approve/reject picked inventory

After you (partially) confirm the picking list, you can approve or reject the picked inventory. For the approved advice lines, LN creates shipment lines, which you can confirm.
