	<AimSection><Paragraph>Every inventory transaction in <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh" role="package">Warehouse Management</GUIRef> is initiated and controlled by a warehousing order. From a simple <Link href="/baanerp/wh/glossary/glossary#000385" role="glossary">transfer</Link> to a complicated <Link href="/baanerp/wh/glossary/glossary#000373" role="glossary">receipt</Link>, one or more warehousing orders control the movement of inventory and account for it. Warehousing orders can be generated either manually in <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh" role="package">Warehouse Management</GUIRef> or automatically from within other SSA ERP packages or modules. For example, a sales order can automatically trigger a warehousing order of type <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/domains/inh.ittp#issue" role="enum">Issue</GUIRef>. A purchase order can automatically trigger an order of type <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/domains/inh.ittp#receipt" role="enum">Receipt</GUIRef>. The <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/inp" role="module">Inventory Planning</GUIRef> module of <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh" role="package">Warehouse Management</GUIRef> tracks planned inventory transactions, which are converted to warehousing orders.</Paragraph>

	<GeneralSection><SectionTitle>Warehousing order characteristics</SectionTitle>
		<Paragraph>A warehousing order can contain multiple <Link href="/baanerp/wh/glossary/glossary#000429" role="glossary">warehousing-order lines</Link>. Each warehousing order line can contain only one item. The various order lines of one warehousing order can contain different items or the same items.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>The <Link href="/baanerp/wh/glossary/glossary#000004" role="glossary">inventory transaction type</Link> of a warehousing order is determined by the originating order from which the warehousing order results. If you manually enter a warehousing order, you must manually specify the inventory transaction type.</Paragraph>
		<List><ListIntro>The <Link href="/baanerp/wh/glossary/glossary#000009" role="glossary">warehousing order type</Link> of a warehousing order determines the default procedure to handle inventory transactions, but for individual warehousing orders or warehousing order lines of this order type you can adjust the default procedure. For further information, see <Link href="/baanerp/wh/onlinemanual/000006" role="manual">How to define warehousing procedures</Link>. For manually created warehousing orders, you must manually specify the warehousing order type. For warehousing orders generated from orders originating from other packages, SSA ERP retrieves the warehousing order type as follows:</ListIntro>
			<ListItem>If the order origin is <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/domains/inh.oorg#purchase" role="enum">Purchase</GUIRef> or <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/domains/inh.oorg#purchase.sched" role="enum">Purchase Schedule</GUIRef> and the order origin has a purchase order type to which a warehousing order type is linked, SSA ERP retrieves this warehousing order type for the warehousing order. You can link a warehousing order type to a purchase order type in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/pur/tdpur0194m000" role="session">Purchase Order Types (tdpur0194m000)</GUIRef> session.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>If the order origin is <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/domains/inh.oorg#sales" role="enum">Sales</GUIRef> or <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/domains/inh.oorg#sales.sched" role="enum">Sales Schedule</GUIRef> and the order origin has a sales order type to which a warehousing order type is linked, SSA ERP retrieves this warehousing order type for the warehousing order. You can link a warehousing order type to a sales order type in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/sls/tdsls0194s000" role="session">Sales Order Types (tdsls0194s000)</GUIRef> session.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>In all other cases, even if no warehousing order type is specified in the above mentioned cases, the warehousing order type is determined by the inventory transaction type. You can specify the default warehousing order type for each inventory-transaction type in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/inh/whinh0120m000" role="session">Default Order Types by Origin (whinh0120m000)</GUIRef> session.</ListItem>
