| # Outbound Advice (whinh4525m000) Use this session to view and maintain outbound advice. You can modify outbound advice in the Process Outbound Advice (whinh4200m000) session. In this session, you can also enter the details of an outbound advice created in the Outbound Advice (whinh4525m000) session. As long as the inventory is not retrieved from the advised locations, you can maintain the advised outbound quantities. You can change the values of the Run field and the Picking Sequence field, as long as the picking list is not yet printed. Only outbound data from warehousing-order lines with the following statuses can be maintained in this session: Open Advised Released When the shipment is created, that is, when the Picked check box is selected, the advice line can be deleted. To print a checklist for all components of the BOM lines of the outbound advice, perform the following steps: In this session, on the Specific menu, choose BOM Lines. In the Outbound Order Line BOM (whinh2527m000) session, on the File menu, choose Print, then BOM Lines. In the Print Outbound Order Line BOM, specify a range, then click Print. Inventory ownership If the vendor managed inventory (VMI) functionality is used, you can view and maintain inventory ownership records in the Outbound Advice Ownership (whinh4128m000) session. An inventory ownership record specifies the owner or owners of the items listed on the outbound advice line. Inventory ownership records are either generated or manually created, this depends on the ownership settings and the available inventory. For further details, see Outbound Advice Ownership (whinh4128m000) To start the Outbound Advice Ownership (whinh4128m000) session, click Ownership in the Specific menu. For further information on ownership and vendor managed inventory, see Inventory ownership in Warehouse Management and Vendor managed inventory Related topics Outbound advice Inventory Order The origin of the order for which outbound advice is created. Order The code of the warehousing order. If the order is generated by another package, this number will correspond to the original order number. Order The order set groups order lines of the same order together according to the following attributes: Ship-from partner Ship-to partner Ship-from address Ship-to address Carrier Shipping date Original company Order Line The warehousing order line number. If the order is generated by a package other than Warehouse Management, this number is the same as the original order line number. Order Line The sequence number of the warehousing order line. Advice You can subdivide the warehousing order line into one or more advice lines, depending on the following: The number of lots that are assigned. The number of locations that are assigned. The inventory dates. The units. The package definitions. If it concerns consignment inventory or not. If you manually create several advice lines. Specification If this check box is selected, specifications are present for the items included in the current outbound advice. Specification information is available in the fields of the Allocated to group box of the details session. Related topics Allocation and hard pegging overview Activity The next activity to be carried out for the outbound advice. Minimum Quantity Tolerance The minimum quantity to be shipped expressed in the inventory unit. Inventory Item In ERP LN, the raw materials, subassemblies, finished products, and tools that can be purchased, stored, manufactured, sold, and so on. An item can also represent a set of items handled as one (kit), or exist in multiple product variants (generic item). You can also define nonphysical items, which are not held in inventory but can be used to post costs or to invoice services to customers. Examples of nonphysical items: Cost items (for example, electricity) Service items Subcontracting services List items (menus/options) Serial Number The unique identification of a single physical item. ERP LN uses a mask to generate the serial number. The serial number can consist of multiple data segments that represent, for example, a date, model and color information, sequence number, and so on. Serial numbers can be generated for items and for tools. Low volume scenario In the low volume scenario, ERP LN uses the first in, first out or last in, first out outbound methods to fill this field with one of the available serial numbers stored in inventory. To change the value of this field, zoom to the Item - Serials and Warehouses (whltc5100m000) session and select a serial number for which the Available check box is selected. For further information, see To register serial numbers in the low volume scenario. High volume scenario In the high volume scenario, this field is unavailable. To register serial numbers for serialized items that you issue, see To register serial numbers in the high volume scenario. Related topics Serialized items in Warehouse Management Default values for serialized items Advice Lots and Serials Incomplete If this check box is selected, not all serial numbers or lot numbers of the advised lot items or serialized items are registered. To register lot numbers, click Lots and Serials. To register the serial numbers of the item to be shipped, click Link Serial(s). In the Serialized Items (tcibd4501m000) that appears you can link the available serial numbers to the items listed on the shipment line. Note that if no serial numbers are available, or an insufficient number of serial numbers is available, you can generate serial numbers in the Outbound Advice Lots and Serials (whinh4126m000) session. Click Serials, next to this check box, to start the Outbound Advice Lots and Serials (whinh4126m000) session. It is only mandatory to register the serial numbers of advised items, if the following apply: The high volume scenario applies. ERP LN does not create shipments for the outbound order lines. ERP LN does not create shipments if the order origin is one of the following: SFC Production SFC Production (Manual) Maintenance Work Maint. Work (Manual) Related topics Serialized items in Warehouse Management To register serial numbers in the high volume scenario Lot registration Warehouse A place for storing goods. For each warehouse, you can enter address data and data relating to its type. From Location A distinct place in a warehouse where goods are stored. A warehouse can be divided into locations to manage the available space, and to locate the stored goods. Storage conditions and blocks can be applied to individual locations. When you zoom to select a location, the Outbound Advice - Zoom dialog box appears. In the Outbound Advice - Zoom dialog box, click: Warehouse - Item - Lots and Locations to start the Stock Point Inventory (whinr1540m000) session in which you can select a location in which the item is stored. Fixed Locations to start the Fixed Locations (whwmd3502m000) session in which you can select one of the fixed locations of the item. Effectivity Unit A reference number on a sales order line or a sales quotation line that is used to model deviations for a unit effective item. Related topics Default values for serialized items Lot A number of items produced and stored together that are identified by a (lot) code. Lots identify goods. You can ask ERP LN to trace and track lots for an item in the Item - General (tcibd0101s000) session. If you do this, the item is registered by lot so that the inventory on-hand can be registered for each lot individually. Related topics Default values for serialized items Inventory Date A date that is assigned to items when they are stored. You can use inventory dates to retrieve items based on FIFO (First In First Out) or LIFO (Last In First Out), without carrying out extensive lot control. The meaning of the inventory date is connected to the outbound priority of LIFO, FIFO, or the product expiry date of the item. With outbound priority LIFO or FIFO, the default for the inventory date is the system date; however, you can overwrite this so that the inventory date does not have to be equal to the storage date. If the item has a particular shelf life, the inventory date is the product expiry date defined for the item. Inventory Structure Package Definition A particular configuration of items and their packaging. A package definition for an item can, for example, be the following: a pallet contains 12 boxes and each box contains 4 pieces. Package Definition The description of the package definition. Advised Quantity The actual quantity advised, expressed in the storage unit. If the outbound advice is not yet released, you can manually change the advised quantity. If you increase the advised quantity so that the Maximum Quantity Tolerance as specified in the Warehousing Orders (whinh2100m000) session is exceeded and the value of the Hard Stop on Quantity field in the Outbound Order Lines (whinh2120m000) session is: No, you can save the outbound advice. Warn, you can save the outbound advice, but you get a warning. Block, you cannot save the outbound advice. If you decrease the advised quantity so that the Minimum Quantity Tolerance as specified in the Warehousing Orders (whinh2100m000) session is not met, you get a warning message. Related topics The outbound procedure The shipment procedure Quantity Advised The unit in which the quantity of goods stored is expressed. Example Storage unit: box Inventory unit: liter Advised in Inventory Unit The actual quantity issued, expressed in the inventory unit. Advised in Inventory Unit The unit of measure in which the inventory of an item is recorded, such as piece, kilogram, box of 12, or meter. The inventory unit is also used as the base unit in measure conversions, especially for conversions that concern the order unit and the price unit on a purchase order or a sales order. These conversions always use the inventory unit as the base unit. An inventory unit therefore applies to all item types, also to item types that cannot be kept in stock. Status Released If this check box is selected, this line has been released. Releasing the outbound advice confirms the outbound advice and makes it possible to carry out the next step in the warehousing procedure. The next step can be one of the following sessions: Generate Picking List... (whinh4415m000) Warehouse Inspections (whinh3122m000) Freeze/Confirm Shipments/Loads (whinh4275m000) Picked If this check box is selected, the advised quantity is picked. If the following sessions are not an activity in the outbound procedure, ERP LN selects the current check box when the outbound advice is released: Generate Picking List... (whinh4415m000). Picking List (whinh4525m100). If the Warehouse Inspections (whinh3122m000) session is an activity in the outbound procedure, an approval record is created for the advised quantity. Picking Picking Run A code assigned to a group of warehousing order lines when they are advised. ERP 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. ERP 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. Picking Mission A specific picking round performed by one employee or vehicle. Picking Sequence A sequence number used to print the picking list. From Handling Unit The original handling unit in which the goods were received in the warehouse. Sometimes, handling units are split up into several smaller handling units. The split-off smaller handling units are the to-handling units, which are displayed in the To Handling Unit. If the original handling unit is not split up, the same handling unit is displayed in this field and the To Handling Unit field. For example, if the original handling unit is a pallet containing several boxes, you can split up the handling unit into the smaller (child) handling units representing the boxes and then create outbound advice for the boxes. Related topics To maintain handling units Inbound procedures and handling units To Handling Unit The handling unit for which the outbound advice is created. If this handling unit was created from another handling unit, the original handling unit from which this handling unit is created is displayed in the From Handling Unit field.
