Shipping overview

The final step in order processing is shipping. Shipping items reduces the balance on hand in the warehouse and creates a withdrawal transaction, which can be viewed from the Inventory Transaction screen.

Picked items are usually brought to a staging area in the warehouse where they are loaded onto a truck, manifested (identified on a transportation document), or packed. The items are shipped from the warehouse, reducing inventory balances.

Shipments occur using the following methods:

  • Processing at the order level
  • Processing at the pick order detail level
  • Processing at the wave level
  • Processing at the drop ID level
  • Using the Mass Ship > Shipment Orders screen
  • Using the Mass Ship > Pick Detail screen
Note:  A key feature of Infor WMS Warehouse Management (WM) is the ability to modify RF screens to control and process flow throughout the operation. This includes changing text descriptions, field sequence, field display, and the data that must be captured. For this reason, some of information presented in this guide might not match your RF screen display. You might also see information discussed in this guide that is different than the screen capture displays in the guide. For more information on modifying the RF screens, see the Infor WMS Administrator's Guide.
