Allow changes to shipment

If the Allow Changes to Shipment check box is selected in the Shipments (whinh4130m000) session, adding or removing shipment lines is allowed until the shipment status is set to Confirmed. For shipments with status Projected, updates from the linked outbound-order lines are allowed.

If this check box is cleared, these actions are not allowed:

  • Deleting the shipment, unless the status is Confirmed.

    Confirmed shipments can be deleted using the Remove Confirmed and Canceled Shipments/Loads (whinh4250m000) session.

  • Adding or removing shipment lines.

  • Other updates of the shipment data.

    There is an exception to this rule: If the planned delivery date is changed on a load, the planned delivery date of the related shipments is changed as long as the shipments are not manually planned and have a status other than Projected.

    Note: for Projected shipments it is allowed to pick the shipment line quantities and change the status to Open when picking is confirmed.

Also, if you clear this check box, these options are unavailable:

  • In the Shipments (whinh4130m000) session:

    • Compose Shipping Structure
    • Generate Handling Unit
    • Remove Handling Units
    • Delete

  • In the Shipment Lines (whinh4131m000) session:

    • Compose Shipping Structure
    • Delete

Cancel originating order lines

An order line cannot be canceled if the Allow Changes to Shipment box is selected for the linked shipment. To cancel the order line, clear the Allow Changes to Shipment check box for the shipment.

Allow changes to shipment controlled by order type

The Initial value for Allow Changes in Shipment is Yes and Allow Changes to Shipment After Publishing check boxes in the Warehousing Order Types (whinh0110m000) session control the setting of the Allow Changes to Shipment check box in the Shipments (whinh4130m000) session.

For example, if the Initial value for Allow Changes in Shipment is Yes check box is cleared and the Allow Changes to Shipment After Publishing check box is selected for order type X, the Allow Changes to Shipment check box is initially cleared but selected after the publishing status is set to Published for shipments based on outbound order lines of order type X. In this way, you avoid that shipments can be changed before they are published.
