  • In the Shipment Lines (whinh4131m000) session, from the References menu, go to Shipment Line--> Stock Point Details.

Packaging
Package Definition

package definition

Handling Unit(s) Present

If this check box is selected, handling units exist for the shipment line. The check box is selected when at least one handling unit is stored in the Shipment Line Handling Units (whinh4534m000) session.

Note: 

The check box is disabled when:

  • Handling units are not used. Use the Warehouse Master Data Parameters (whwmd0500m000) session or the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2110s000) session to determine if the handling units are used.

  • You create the shipment lines manually.

Specific Packaging

LN selects the check box when the handling unit generated on the shipment line is based on an alternative packaging definition or is based on a shipment line specific handling unit template. By default, the check box is clear. For more information, refer to Shipment line specific handling unit template

Note: To implement the Specific Packaging functionality, you must select the Handling Units in Use check box in the Warehouse Master Data Parameters (whwmd0100s000) session.

Quantities
Ordered Quantity

The planned issue quantity. This is the total quantity of the corresponding outbound order line.

Projected Quantity

The quantity of the projected shipment line.

This quantity is not changed in the course of the outbound flow, when the status of the projected shipment line changes between these statuses:

  • Projected
  • Open
  • Frozen
  • Confirmed
Note: This field is present if the projected shipment functionality is implemented.

Picked

The quantity of items picked for the shipment line.

If the Warehouse Inspections Overview (whinh3122m000) session is part of the outbound procedure, the items must be inspected before you can ship them. During inspections, items can be rejected. The rejection of items causes a difference between the Picked Quantity on the Outbound Order Lines (whinh2120m000) session and the Picked Quantity on the Shipment Lines (whinh4131m000) session. So, if the Warehouse Inspections Overview (whinh3122m000) session is part of the outbound procedure, the quantity in the current field is the approved picked quantity.

Example

You have an outbound order line with picked quantity 50. You approve 49 items and reject 1 item in the Warehouse Inspections Overview (whinh3122m000) session. This results in the following:

  • The picked quantity on the Shipment Lines (whinh4131m000) session becomes 49.
  • The approved quantity on the Outbound Order Lines (whinh2120m000) session becomes 49.
  • The rejected quantity on the Outbound Order Lines (whinh2120m000) session becomes 1.

If the Warehouse Inspections Overview (whinh3122m000) session is not part of the outbound procedure, the Picked Quantity on the Outbound Order Lines (whinh2120m000) session and the Picked Quantity on the Shipment Lines (whinh4131m000) session are the same.

Shipped Quantity

The actual quantity of goods on the shipment.

The default Shipped Quantity is equal to the Picked Quantity.

If the shipment line is not yet confirmed, you can manually decrease the Shipped Quantity. If you decrease the Shipped Quantity, LN increases the Not Shipped Quantity in the current session and the Expected Not Shipped Quantity in the Outbound Order Lines (whinh2120m000) session.

Not Shipped Quantity

The quantity of picked or approved items that are not shipped.

Weight
Gross Weight

Gross weight of the goods shipped, including packaging.

Reference

This reference supports additional informational and logistical requirements of customer/Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM’s) and Suppliers. You can print this reference information in the labels. The reference is passed from the originating sales schedule to the warehouse order outbound line, then to the shipment line and to the handling unit.

Customers and suppliers can use the informational reference in many ways, such as:

  • Passing KANBAN numbers

    The reference can pass, for example, KANBAN numbers to and from the customer and the supplier through labels, documents, and messages. The KANBAN number is stored in the Sales Schedule Lines (tdsls3107m000) session, and is transferred to the Outbound Order Lines (whinh2120m000), Shipment Lines (whinh4131m000) and the Handling Units (whwmd5130m000) sessions. The retrieved KANBAN number is available in the Reference field of the respective sessions. A handling unit can be generated for the shipment line.

  • Passing Routing Codes (Transportation Codes)

    The reference can pass, for example, Routing Codes, also called Transportation Codes, to and from the customer and supplier through labels, documents, and messages. Routing codes are used by customers for internal distribution purposes. A routing code can be stored in the Sales Schedule Lines (tdsls3107m000) session, after which it is transferred to the Outbound Order Lines (whinh2120m000), Shipment Lines (whinh4131m000), and the Handling Units (whwmd5130m000) sessions. The retrieved routing code is then available in the Reference field of the respective sessions. A handling unit can be generated for the shipment line.

The item's country of origin. In some countries it is required in some countries to print the country of origin on shipping documents.

When Items originating from international suppliers are received, inspected, and put away anonymously in the warehouse, the link with the country of origin is lost. Therefore, these items have no reference to their country of origin when picked and shipped at a later stage. The country of origin of the shipment line is defaulted from the Country of Origin field of the Items (tcibd0501m000) session. If the goods of a shipment were purchased in a different country, you can change the country of origin in this field. LN prints the country of origin on the shipping manifest. If the shipping manifest is printed, you cannot change the country of origin.
