Planned Loads/Shipments (whinh4180m000)

Use this session to view and maintain the loads and shipments that are planned for specific warehousing orders.

The planned loads and planned shipments in the current session are either:

  • Generated by Freight
  • Manually created
  • Generated by Warehousing if one or more freight orders, but no Actual Freight load plan is present for warehousing order lines that obtain the Staged status. Warehousing generates loads, shipments, and shipment lines for the outbound order lines that obtain the Staged status. For further information about the outbound procedure, see The outbound procedure.

If planned loads or planned shipments are generated by Freight, LN uses the number groups and series as specified in the Freight Planning Parameters (fmlbd0100m000) session for numbering the planned loads and planned shipments.

Manually create loads and shipments

If you manually create planned loads and shipments in the current session:

  • LN uses the number groups and series as specified in the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session for numbering the planned loads and planned shipments.
  • You can link warehousing order lines. If for a warehousing order line a freight order is generated, you will get a warning.
  • You can only link outbound order lines with a picked quantity of zero.
  • You can only link inbound order lines with a received quantity of zero.
  • You cannot manually link warehousing order lines to planned loads and shipments that are generated by Freight.

Modify loads and shipments

You can only modify loads and shipments with status Actual.

Delete loads and shipments

You cannot delete loads and shipments:

  • With status Confirmed or Shipped.
  • With a quantity received or a quantity picked of more than zero for statuses other than Confirmed or Shipped.
  • If the load or shipment is generated by Freight. Note that if in Freight, an Actual load plan is deleted, the corresponding loads and shipments in the current session are deleted as well.

If the warehousing order that is related to a planned load or shipment is deleted, you must also delete the planned load or shipment in the current session.

Note: 

To view the loading sequence of a shipment contained in a load, select the shipment, from the Search by menu, select Loading List. The load that contains the shipment and the loading sequence of the shipments of the load are displayed.

To generate loading lists, from the Print menu, select Loading List.
