How to know when/what to ship?

thomast

Hi Guys,

Does anyone have a good process for how to know what to ship and when? I am imagining some kind of list with all the future deliveries listed according to delivery date. The shipping staff can then select the ones they want to ship and somehow created warehouse shipments from them... But this is just my thought - I really don't know how to do this easily...

Thanks.

Hi, we have a queue from orders (wrhs shipments) based on delivery date, priority, pallet|parcel, datetime of the order release, ... nothing standard as I know ...

Hi xStepa - yeah, its something like that I'm interested in! So when you take on a sales order, when is the warehouse shipment created and by who? I'm guessing you somehow create the warehouse shipment by selecting the lines and then click "Create Whse. Shipment" or something like that?

Hi, there are two options - you can create a queue from the released orders OR (better one) from warehouse shipments (which can be created during the Sales Order release process OR manually). Whs. shipments are IMHO better, because you can combine more source documents (+ transfers, ..) in one queue. Don't forget for status field to exclude finished shipments and in processing.
