When the outbound advice is released, outbound order line 10 is processed first. While creating a shipment line for outbound order line 10, ERP LN creates the shipment header and fills the date ranges for the Shipment Date Interval and Shipment Date/Time To fields. ERP LN leaves the Shipment Date Interval field empty and fills the Shipment Date/Time To with the latest planned delivery date present in the outbound advice, which in this example is 4 February 14:00, and sets the time for this date to 23:59. Because the planned delivery dates of all outbound order lines are before 4 February 14:00, ERP LN adds all of the resulting shipment lines to the shipment. Option Within Time Interval When multiple suitable shipments exist with a valid shipment interval, the additional pick will be linked to the shipment with the earliest shipment interval start date. Example: Generate Shipments within Time Interval [-2 hrs; + 2 hrs]
Order | Planned Delivery Date | Shipment | Shipment Interval
Order1 | 01-04-2009; 10.00 AM | SH000001 | [08:00 AM;12:00 AM]
Order2 | 01-04-2009; 11.00 AM | SH000001 | [08:00 AM;12:00 AM]
Order3 | 01-04-2009; 13.00 PM | SH000002 | [11:00 AM;15:00 PM]
Order4 | 01-04-2009; 11.30 PM | SH000001 | [08:00 AM;12:00 AM]
Order 1 leads to an initial shipment SH000001 with an interval of [08:00 – 12:00]. Order 2 is linked to the same shipment because the planned delivery date falls within the shipment interval of shipment SH000001. Order 3 leads to the creation of a new shipment SH000002 with an interval of [11:00 – 15:00], because the planned delivery date falls outside the shipment interval of shipment SH000001. Order 4 has a planned delivery date which falls within the shipment interval of both shipments, but Order 4 will be linked to shipment SH000001 because it has the earliest interval start date. |
