| # Process Outbound Advice (whinh4200m000) Use this session to generate and/or release outbound advice for outbound-order lines that match the selected range. In this session, you can do the following: Choose Advise to generate outbound advice, which you can view in the Outbound Advice (whinh4525m000) session. Choose Release Advice to release outbound advices. Releasing outbound advices confirms the outbound advices and makes it possible to create and print a picking list. Choose Direct Release to generate and release outbound advices in one run. Choose Undo to undo both the outbound advice's generation and the outbound advice's release for the selected outbound-order line, if available. 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, ERP Enterprise 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. ERP Enterprise 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 Enterprise 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, ERP Enterprise 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), ERP Enterprise 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, ERP Enterprise 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. Recalculate Excess and ATT Inventory If this check box is selected, ERP Enterprise recalculates the available excess inventory and the inventory available to transfer (ATT). Note This field is visible only if the Project Pegging functionality is implemented. Print Advice If this check box is selected, ERP Enterprise prints the outbound advice after being generated. Shortage If this check box is selected, ERP Enterprise prints a shortage list for any items that cannot be allocated. Cost Peg Transfers If this check box is selected, ERP Enterprise prints the data of the cost peg transfers that are created during the creation of outbound advice. Note This field is visible only if the Project Pegging functionality is implemented. Label Printing Settings Label Printing Method Indicates whether and how labels are printed for the advised goods. Allowed values Printing Method Label Layout The code of the layout of the label. You must specify a label layout if the Label Printing Method field in the current session has one of the following values: By Line By Unit Related topics Label layout and printing Advice Log Advice Log Indicate whether you want ERP Enterprise to create an outbound advice log. In the outbound advice log, you can view the decisions made while ERP Enterprise 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 Include Return Orders If this check box is selected, also outbound advice is generated and released for 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. Load Plan Load Plan If this check box is selected, the outbound advice is generated and released based on the load plan. Print Errors If this check box is selected, ERP Enterprise prints the errors that occur when outbound advice is generated and released based on the load plan. 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, ERP Enterprise 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) 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. Include If this check box is selected, an outbound advice is generated and released for warehousing orders with this order origin. Advise Use this command to generate the outbound advice for the selecterd range. If you use this command, the outbound advice is generated and the release of the generated outbound advice is generated manually or automatically, this depends on the on the outbound procedure of the selected range. Advise Only Use this command to generate the outbound advice for the selected range. Automatic release of outbound advice generated by this command is suppressed, regardless of the applicable outbound procedure. Release Advice Use this function to release the advice for the selected record. Direct Release Use this command to generate the outbound advice and put away the outbound advice lines immediately. Direct Outbound Use this command to generate and release the outbound advice for the selected range. If you use this command, the outbound advice is generated and automatically released regardless of the applicable outbound warehousing procedure. Undo Deletes the generated advice. Reset Selection Resets the selection you made in the Specific Order Selection (whinh2800m000) session and enables you to fill in a selection range. Choose Specific Order Selection to make a new specific selection. Note: The old specific selection is removed from the Specific Order Selection (whinh2800m000) session only if you choose 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. |
