| # Manually created shipments In addition to generating shipments for warehousing orders, ERP Enterprise enables you to manually create shipments and shipment lines. Manual shipments are used to ship goods without performing ERP Enterprise warehousing procedures and related financial transactions. You can use manual shipment and shipment lines to register goods transports for items not registered in ERP Enterprise, and/or goods transports for which no warehouse orders exist. For example, transports of rejected goods to the junk yard. For manually created shipments, you can print delivery notes. To create and maintain manual shipments To manually create a shipment, click on the toolbar of the Shipments (whinh4130m000) session or the Shipment (whinh4630m000) session. In these sessions, the following fields are mandatory: Ship-from Address Ship-from Type Note that for manual shipments, only Work Center and Warehouse are available. Ship-from Code Series Ship-to Address Ship-toType Ship-to Code Because warehouse processing is not performed for manual shipments in ERP Enterprise, you are not required to enter a shipment procedure in the Warehousing Procedure field. Note that you can replace the default series in the Series field. You can link a manual shipment to a load. If you do not link the shipment to a load, ERP Enterprise creates a load for the shipment when the shipment is confirmed. To link the shipment to a load, in the Load field, select the required load. As a result, the data from the load is copied to the shipment. If you do not select a delivery note for the shipment in the Preliminary Delivery Note field, ERP Enterprise creates a delivery note for the shipment when the shipment is confirmed, provided that the use of delivery notes is enabled for the ship-from/ship-to warehouse defined for the shipment. For a manual shipment, ERP Enterprise does not create an advance shipment notice. To update manual shipments You can update the following fields for manual shipments: Hazardous Material Class of Risk The status of manual shipments are updated as a result of the freeze or confirm shipment process. For further information, see Shipment and load status. The weight of a manual shipment is updated from the weight of the shipment lines added to the shipment. The loading list sequence for the shipment is updated when the loading list is generated for the load to which the shipment is allocated. To delete manual shipments You can delete manual shipments in the Shipments (whinh4130m000) session or the Shipment (whinh4630m000) session if the shipment status is Open. In the Remove Confirmed Shipments/Loads (whinh4250m000) session, you can delete manual shipments with status Confirmed. To create manual shipment lines You can create manual shipment lines for both generated shipments and manually created shipments. On a manual shipment line, you can enter an item present in ERP Enterprise or an item that does not exist in the application. For example, you can use a manual shipment line to register a delivery in addition to the ordered delivery, such as a free gift, that is not listed on the order but must be listed on the delivery note: for each computer that you deliver you give a mouse pad for free. To manually create a shipment line, click on the toolbar of the Shipment Lines (whinh4131m000) session or the Shipment (whinh4630m000) session. For manual shipment lines, the same attributes are available as for generated shipment lines, except that you cannot: Generate lot and serial numbers Generate handling units Create packing structures Related topics The shipment procedure Delivery notes |
