How to define a warehousing procedure

  1. Define procedure

    In the Warehousing Procedures (whinh0105m000) session, define the identification code, the description and the procedure type of the warehousing procedure.

  2. Add activities to procedure

    After you create a warehousing procedure, you must add activities to the procedure. To add activities, proceed as follows:

    1. In the Activities by Procedure (whinh0106m000) session, in the Warehousing Procedure field, select the procedure to which you want to add activities. As a result, LN displays the available activities related to the procedure type of the warehousing procedure you just selected. For example, if you defined a receipt procedure in the Warehousing Procedures (whinh0105m000) session and select this receipt procedure in the Activities by Procedure (whinh0106m000) session, LN displays the available receipt activities.
    2. To add an activity to the procedure, select the Applicable check box next to the activity. Note that most procedures have a few mandatory activities, such as Warehouse Receipt (whinh3512m000) in the Receipt Procedure, or Generate Outbound Advice (whinh4201m000) session in the Outbound Procedure. Mandatory activities are pre-selected by LN and read-only. For further information, see Applicable.
    3. To specify that the added activity must be carried out automatically, select the Automatic check box. If you do not select this check box, the user must manually trigger the activity.
    4. For activities that involve printing documents, such as storage lists or shipping documents, in the Output Device field, select one of the output devices available in your organization.
  3. Link procedure to Warehousing Order Type

    To link the procedure to warehousing orders, in the Warehousing Order Types (whinh0110m000) session, link the warehousing procedure to a warehousing-order type. As a result, the warehousing procedure is the default procedure for the warehousing orders to which the order type is allocated.

  4. Link Warehousing Order Type to Order Origin

    You can link a warehousing order type to an order origin in these sessions:

    • Default Order Types by Origin (whinh0120m000)
    • Purchase Order Types (tdpur0194m000)
    • Sales Order Types (tdsls0594m000)

    See Defining default warehousing order types by order origin for details.
