Unallocating order detail lines

The Unallocate > Order Details feature is similar to Unallocate > Pick Details because both allow you to partially ship an order. The primary difference is that the entire order line is unallocated, whereas with the Unallocate > Pick Details feature, the pick detail line is unallocated.

For example, if an order is placed for ten items; depending on how the item is defined, WM creates one order line for a quantity of ten, or ten pick detail lines with a quantity of one each. Unallocate Order Detail Lines allows you to unallocate at the order line level. This feature can also be used to unallocate order detail lines across all orders, or you can specify an order or detail line to be unallocated.

Order detail lines can be unallocated (clearing the quantity allocated and quantity picked columns) until the associated order is shipped. Shipping product is the point of no return; order detail lines cannot be unallocated at this point.

The Unallocate > Order Details function does not remove allocation information for order details that you update to Picked status. This function unallocates picks that have a Normal (allocated) or Released status.

  1. Select Outbound > Unallocate > Order Details. The Order Details screen is displayed.
  2. To display a list, use the Search feature.
  3. Select the Order Details that you want to unallocate.
  4. Click Actions and select Unallocate Order Detail Items.
  5. To confirm the action, click OK.
