| # Generate Outbound Advice (whinh4201m000) Use this session to generate outbound advice. You can also print outbound advice, shortage list, or labels by advice or unit. You can view the outbound advice in the Outbound Advice (whinh4525m000) session. Note You can select a range of orders or select specific orders to be processed: To select specific orders, click Specific Order Selection. The Specific Order Selection (whinh2800m000) session is started in which you can select up to ten orders. To process another selection of orders, click Reset Selection. As a result, LN removes the selection you made in the Specific Order Selection (whinh2800m000) session. To make a new specific selection, click Specific Order Selection. Shipping Selection Range Run A code assigned to a group of warehousing order lines when they are advised. LN assigns or generates a run number if a user does not manually enter or select a run number while he generates inbound or outbound advice for a group of warehousing order lines. This is the case if, for example, a user generates outbound advice by means of the Generate Advice command in the Outbound Order Lines (whinh2120m000) session. LN assigns run numbers by user. For example, all inbound advice generated by user A on a particular day obtain a particular run number, and those generated by user B obtain another run number. For outbound movements, the user can release outbound advice, generate picking lists, and confirm picking lists by run. For inbound movements, the user can generate storage lists and confirm storage lists by run. Note If you select a run assigned to not fully processed outbound advice, while in the Run (whinh4100s000) session, the Always Allow Reuse check box is cleared, a dialog box appears prompting you to select one of the following: No to skip this run. Yes to reuse this run for the current instance. Always Allow Reuse to always allow reuse of this run. The latter option results in automatic selection of the Always Allow Reuse check box in the Run (whinh4100s000) session. Overwrite Selection Range If this check box is selected, the set of warehousing-order lines identified by the run number will overwrite any user-defined selection range. Options Create Cross-dock Orders If this check box is selected, LN will generate a cross-dock order for any outbound advice shortage. The cross-dock order's requested quantity will be equal to the inventory shortage. Handle Alternative Items If this check box is selected, and the requested item is not available and an alternative material has been defined in the bill of material (BOM), LN releases an alternative material. This check box is hidden if the Use Up and Alternative Materials check box in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0500m000) session is cleared. Related topics Alternative materials in BOMs Create Outbound Advice Despite Inventory Shortage If this check box is selected, LN creates outbound advice, even if insufficient inventory is available. Note This option is only available if, in the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session, the Advanced Negative Inventory check box is selected. Print Advice If this check box is selected, LN prints the outbound advice after being generated. Shortage If this check box is selected, LN prints a shortage list for any items that cannot be allocated. Device Selection By Select either of the following: Default Device The picking list is printed by the default printer specified in the Default Devices by User (whwmd1545m000) session. Specific Device The picking list is printed on the printer that you select from the dialog box that appears after clicking the print button. Print Labels Print Labels Indicate whether and how labels are printed for the advised goods. Layout The code of the layout according to which the label must be printed. You must specify a label layout if, under Print Labels, you selected one of the following options: By Line By Unit Related topics Label layout and printing Print Labels of Handling Unit If this check box is selected, handling unit labels are printed for the adviced goods. In the Handling Unit Label Layout field, you must select a handling unit label layout. Handling Unit Label Layout The code of the layout according to which the handling unit label must be printed. This field is mandatory if the Print Labels of Handling Unit check box is selected. Related topics Label layout and printing Handling Unit Number of Copies The number of copies of each handling unit label to be printed. Advice Log Advice Log Indicate whether and what kind of an outbound advice log must be created. In the outbound advice log, you can view the decisions made while LN generates the outbound advice. You can use the outbound advice log to trace, for example, why a shortage for the item is reported or why you get other inventory advised than expected. You can view the outbound advice log in the Outbound Advice Log (whinh3526m000) session. To start the Outbound Advice Log (whinh3526m000) session, in the current session, click Advice Log. Outbound advice log Order Selection Range Shipment Reference The From and To fields define a range of: Shipment Reference for which the outbound advice is generated. Include Return Orders If this check box is selected, outbound advice is also generated for any return orders in the selection range. Rush Orders only If this check box is selected, outbound advice is only generated for any rush orders in the selection range. DMS Items DMS Items Include/Exclude DMS Items in Range Related topics Direct material supply (DMS) Apply DMS If this check box is cleared, standard outbound advice functionality will apply to DMS items. If this check box is selected, LN will apply direct material supply (DMS) to the items. If DMS Items is set to Only, all ranges in the session will be unavailable except for the item and warehouse ranges. If DMS Items is set to Included, all ranges in the session will be available. Note In the latter case, any change in ranges applied by the user can affect the result of DMS on Inventory. For example, if the planned delivery date range is changed, high-priority demand might be excluded from the outbound advice run, and lower-priority demand is met first. The warehouse range is also taken into account for DMS on Inventory. DMS will only be performed for the warehouses that are defined as supply warehouses in the Warehouse Supply Structure Relationships (whinh6141m000) session. Related topics Direct material supply (DMS) Load Plan Load Plan If this check box is selected, outbound advice is generated based on the outbound order lines linked to the selected loads and shipments. Related topics To define warehousing procedures Introducing load building Print Errors If this check box is selected, LN prints the errors that occur when outbound advice is generated and released based on the load plan. Ordering Order by Planned Delivery Date If this check box is selected, the orders are processed in the sequence determined by the planned delivery date/time of the outbound-order line. If this check box is cleared, the orders are processed in the sequence as specified in the order-type priority fields. Order Origin The priority for processing outbound advice.

Undo Advice Use this function to undo an advice that was generated for the selected record. Reset Selection Resets the selection you made in the Specific Order Selection (whinh2800m000) session and enables you to specify a selection range. To make a new specific selection, click Specific Order Selection. Note: The previous specific selection is removed from the Specific Order Selection (whinh2800m000) session only if you click Specific Order Selection after you reset the selection. If you do not enter a new specific selection after you reset the selection, you can switch between the specific selection and the range selection.
