Kanban ID Mask | The mask that is used to generate kanban identification numbers in the Warehouse - Item (whwmd2110s000) session. If you do not specify a kanban ID mask in the current field, ERP LN uses the kanban ID mask specified in the Kanban ID Mask field in the Master Data Parameters (whwmd0100s000) session. If you did not specify a kanban ID mask in the current field session nor in the Master Data Parameters (whwmd0100s000) session, you cannot use kanbans.
Project | The project with which the warehouse is associated.
Project WIP Warehouse | If this check box is selected, the warehouse can be used to ship project-related deliverables to a business partner. Use Project Deliverables (tppdm7100m000) session to ship project-related deliverables: From the project WIP warehouse to the business partner. From the project site via project WIP warehouse to the business partner. Note If this check box is selected, the Inventory Valuation Method is set to Fixed Transfer Price (FTP). If this check box is selected, the project-related inventory is financially accounted as part of the reconciliation group project (TP) WIP.
Locations | If this check box is selected, the warehouse uses locations. A warehouse can contain multiple inventory locations.
WMS Controlled | If this check box is selected, the warehouse is controlled by an external warehouse management system integrated with ERP LN. Note that a financial warehouse cannot be WMS controlled. Related topics WMS Interface Parameters (whwmd2105m000)
Zero Receipt Allowed | If this check box is selected, you can confirm zero receipts. If this check box is cleared, you can only confirm zero receipts if the following conditions are met: You already received goods for the order line The receipt line is a final receipt To make a final receipt line, select the Final Receipt check box on the Warehouse Receipt (whinh3512m000) session.
Confirm Receipt as Final | If this check box is selected, the Final Receipt check box is automatically selected for all receipt lines of a purchase order line receipt after the last receipt line is confirmed. For the receipt lines, the Final Receipt check box is made read-only. The setting of this check box applies to the current warehouse. The default value is taken from the Confirm Receipt as Final field in the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session. If this check box is selected, end users are not required to (re-) check the received items while confirming receipts and manually select the Final Receipt check box. This will speed up the receipt procedure, which can be important if large numbers of receipt transactions are involved. As an additional result, the possible situation that back orders are not created because a user forgot to select the Final Receipt check box is prevented. On the other hand, if checking the received items while confirming receipts is required for the current warehouse, you must clear this check box. The only way to undo the automatic selection of the Final Receipt check box for an individual receipt is to adjust the receipt quantities in the Receipt Correction (whinh3121s000) session. This session requires specific authorization. Note If this check box is selected, and receipt confirmation must be blocked if the received quantities are not fulfilled according to the receipt tolerances, you must redefine the receipt tolerances either by changing the Block value to Warn, or by adjusting the quantities. You can define receipt tolerances and blockings in the Receiving group box of the Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session.

Infor ERP LN enables integrations with software supporting bar code reading devices. If such configurations are in place, a receipt line is automatically created, linked to a receipt, and confirmed by scanning a handling unit label in the warehouse. Note You cannot change the contents of a receipt line, such as the received quantities, after it has been confirmed. Therefore, it is recommended not to select this check box if changes to receipt lines may be required.

Generate Cross-dock Order for Outbound Advice Shortage | If this check box is selected, and, after generating an outbound advice, an inventory shortage occurs, a cross-dock order is created for the inventory shortage. Note In the Generate Outbound Advice (whinh4201m000) session, you can still select or clear this check box. However, if you generate an outbound advice directly, for example, from within the Outbound Order Lines (whinh2120m000) session, this option applies to the warehouse-item level ( Warehouse - Item (whwmd2510m000)/ Warehouse - Item (whwmd2110s000) ).
Generate Cross-dock Order Lines when Confirming Receipt | If this check box is selected, ERP LN checks if there are any open cross-dock orders that must be fulfilled by incoming goods. Note Before confirm receipt takes place, you can overrule this setting by either selecting or clearing the Generate Cross-dock Order Lines when Confirming Receipt check box in the Receipt Lines (whinh3112s000) session.

The warehouse and/or the item is not location controlled.
Priority Definition | A user-defined set of priorities assigned to one or more ERP LN table fields. ERP LN uses the cross-dock order priority definition to generate the cross-dock order system priority. Note You can use cross-dock order priority definitions for Dynamic cross-docking only. Instead of cross-dock order priority definitions, and dependent on a parameter setting, you can apply planning priority rules to Dynamic cross-docking. Note The default value is the value as defined in the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session. If this field is empty when creating a cross-dock order, the cross-dock order priority definition will be retrieved from the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session. Related topics Cross-dock order priority Planning priority rules
Restriction Definition | A user-defined set of rules that ERP LN uses to determine whether to create cross-dock orders. The rules are checked one after the other.

Shipments
Generate Shipments
Generate Shipments | This field determines the way the time interval of a shipment is set when a new shipment is created. The shipment's time interval is the time between the dates and times in the Shipment Date From field and the Shipment Date To field in the Shipments (whinh4130m000) session. Based on the time interval: ERP LN automatically adds outbound-order lines to the shipment. You can manually add outbound-order lines to the shipment. When shipments are generated, ERP LN determines the default values for the Shipment Date From and Shipment Date/Time To fields based on the value of the current field.
Current field | Shipment Date From | Shipment Date/Time To
--- | --- | ---
Per Exact Planned Delivery Date/Time | The outbound-order line's exact planned delivery date and time. | The outbound-order line's exact planned delivery date and time.
For Planned Delivery Date | The outbound-order line's planned delivery date with time 0:00. | The outbound-order line's planned delivery date with time 23:59:59.
Up to and Incl. Planned Delivery Date | - | The latest planned delivery date present on the corresponding outbound advice with time 23:59.
Within Time Interval | Shipment Date From = Shipment Creation Date - Minimum Shipment Interval (in hours or calendar days) | Shipment Date To = Shipment Creation Date + Maximum Shipment Interval (in hours or calendar days)
Within Time Interval Note The Within Time Interval option is not available in case of financial warehouses. If the Unique Shipment Reference per Shipment criteria is selected in the Warehousing Order Types (whinh0110m000) session, the shipment interval is set based on the earliest planned delivery date and the latest planned delivery date of the corresponding outbound order lines, which contain the unique reference. This criteria overrules all the other criteria, including the shipment interval. You can add shipment lines for the same customer to a shipment that already exists on a staging location, only if the status of the shipment is not Frozen or Confirmed. If the time interval is expressed in calendar days, the shipment dates must be rounded off to entire calendar days, starting at 00:00:00 AM and ending at 23:59:59 PM. Related topics Example of the Generate Shipments options
Shipment Date Interval
Time Interval | The user specified number of hours/days which is used to calculate the shipment date from which new shipment lines can be added from later outbound runs.
    Shipment Date From = Shipment Creation Date - Minimum Shipment Interval (in hours or calendar days)
Note The field is available only when the Within Time Interval option is selected. The field is available only when the Planned Delivery Date option in the Add Orders Based On field is selected. The field is not valid in case the value is less than zero.
Minimum Shipment Interval Unit | The unit in which the minimum shipment interval is measured. Example hours or calendar days. Note If the time interval is expressed in calendar days, the shipment dates must be rounded off to entire calendar days, starting at 00:00:00 AM and ending at 23:59:59 PM. The field is available only when the Within Time Interval option is selected.
Maximum Shipment Interval | The user-specified number of hours/days which is used to calculate the shipment date until which new shipment lines can be added from later outbound runs.
    Shipment Date To = Shipment Creation Date + Maximum Shipment Interval (in hours or calendar days)
Note The field is available only when the Within Time Interval option is selected. The field is not valid in case the value is less than zero.
Maximum Shipment Interval Unit | The unit in which the maximum shipment interval is measured. Example hours or calendar days. Note If the time interval is expressed in calendar days, the shipment dates must be rounded off to entire calendar days, starting at 00:00:00 AM and ending at 23:59:59 PM.
Add Orders Based On | The shipment selection criteria based on which the new shipments are linked to already existing shipments. When new orders are picked, ERP LN must determine if the orders fall within the shipment interval. You can set the criteria based on which the shipment interval can be matched against the planned delivery date of the order or against the time of picking of the order. The orders that fall within this shipment interval can be added to an existing shipment. You can select from the following available criteria: Time of Picking If the time when the picking list is confirmed falls within the shipment interval, the order line is linked to the existing shipment. Otherwise, a new shipment is created. Planned Delivery Date If the planned delivery date falls within the shipment interval, the order line is linked to the existing shipment. Otherwise, a new shipment is created. Note The field is available only when the Within Time Interval option is selected.
Shipment Building
Single Picking Mission per Shipment | If this check box is selected, ERP LN generates a separate shipment for each new picking mission if no suitable existing shipment can be found. Note The Single Picking Mission per Shipment option: Does not apply in case of financial warehouse. Does not apply in case of composing a shipment or load. Single load for the same Ship-from Address, Carrier and Route The shipment building engine combines multiple shipments into the same load in case the Ship-from Address, the Carrier, and the Route on these shipments are identical. This implies that no new loads are created in case the ship-to address of the (additional) shipment differs. Note In case the Unique Shipment Reference per Shipment criteria is selected in the Warehousing Order Types (whinh0110m000) session, the shipment interval is set based on the earliest planned delivery date and the latest planned delivery date of the corresponding outbound order lines (containing the unique reference). This criteria overrules all the other criteria, including the Single Picking Mission per Shipment, because it cannot create multiple shipments with the same shipment reference. Example
Unique Shipment Reference per Shipment = No Single Picking Mission per Shipment = Yes |  |
Run Number | Warehouse | Picking Mission | Shipment Reference | Shipment
1 | WRH01 | 1 | REF001 | SH0000001
1 | WRH01 | 2 | REF001 | SH0000002
1 | WRH01 | 3 | REF003 | SH0000003
Unique Shipment Reference per Shipment = Yes Single Picking Mission per Shipment = Yes |  |
Run Number | Warehouse | Picking Mission | Shipment Reference | Shipment
1 | WRH01 | 1 | REF001 | SH0000001
1 | WRH01 | 2 | REF001 | SH0000001
1 | WRH01 | 3 | REF003 | SH0000002
Update Shipping Material Account during
Update Shipping Material Account during | The field determines the stage in the supply process at which the packaging-item related transactions are updated in the shipping material accounts by ERP LN in case of a logistical service provider (LSP) scenario. The field is enabled only for VMI warehouses in which warehouse management is not carried out by own company. The packaging-item related transactions can be updated by ERP LN at the following points in the process: Shipment to VMI Warehouse: The shipping material account must be updated during shipment of (packaging) items from the normal warehouse to the VMI warehouse. Consumption by Customer: The shipping material account must be updated during shipment of (packaging) items from the VMI warehouse (Logistical Service Provider (LSP) warehouse) to the customer/OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer). Not Applicable: ERP LN assigns this value for warehouses in which the own company is carrying out inventory management. To record the packaging item transactions, you must select the Extended Packaging Item Registration check box in the Master Data Parameters (whwmd0100s000) session.
