Direct Shipping
Direct Shipping
Direct Shipping : It enables you to ship confirm material for a sales order line without having to pick
confirm and pick release.
Enabling Direct Shipping allowed at Organization parameter.
Assume that the customer requested material is not having enough on-hand in inventory,so we are
supposed to create a WO (job,provided the material is ATO item) and assemble the material and move
it into Dock Door Locator for Direct Ship.
Sales Order Header :
Since its an ATO item,after booking order line would changed to Supply Eligible,then we have to
progress the Workflow using Actions button.
Once Create Supply Order Eligible is done,it would generate a WO,then we need to release the WO
and complete the JOB,this should be done in WIP.
WO number can be seen in concurrent request Autocreate Final Assembly Orders
Now,we should move on to WIP module in order to release and complete the Job. Initially the WO
status will be in Unreleased status,we have to release the job.
Release job :
Completion Subinventory and Completion Locator is mandatory,because as soon as the job get
completes,it has to be moved into the completion subinventory and completion locator and the locator
type should be of Dock Door.
Completion Locator :
Using Component Release Form,the job will be released,since its a WMS enabled organization,the
allocation would be based on the WMS rules engine and task created in WCB. The WMS tasks will be
assigned to a Whse Operator for Load and Drop. Then we have to perform Move and Complete.
Pick Slip Report would be generated and we can see the allocations if the WMS rules satisfies the
conditions.
Output:
If Pick Slip report get completed normal and allocations are completed,then it would create a task in
WCB,then those tasks will be assigned to Whse Operator.
WCB:
After loading get completes we need to drop the Loaded LPN into Supply Subinventory(For
PULL components or issuing directly to a job for PUSH component)
Droping LPN :
If Load and Drop is completed,then we have to move and complete the job,since we are going to
use Direct Ship functionality,the material should be packed into LPN,so we are going to follow
the LPN based WIP completion method.
For LPN based WIP completion,we must use LPN Txn function.
For LPN completion we can generate a new LPN or we can use the not used LPN's
while you drop the LPN,it would suggest the Subinventory and Locator based on the WMS
Putaway rules,in our case the Putaway is defined to reflect the Jobs Completion Subinventory
and Completion Locator,hence, its directing us to drop the material in to FG subinventory and
FG.000.000(Dock Door)
Now,if we check the Sales Order line status,it would be awaiting shipping.
For Direct Shipping,we will never pick release and pick confirm the sales order.So we can use
Direct Ship function in Mobile Application for Picking.
Here the Sales Order line is in Picked Status,then we can use the Shipping Transaction form for
Ship Confirmation.
