The shipment has been reserved and picking routes and/or pallet transports have been generated, but they have not yet been released for picking.īoth picking routes and pallet transports have been released, but not all of them have been completed.
The shipment has been created but not yet reserved or, if just one shipment line exists, without being part of a route. A shipment can be in one of the following statuses : The shipment status is based on the lowest denominator of the shipment lines’ status. Note, that when using advanced warehouse management in AX, a shipment can contain references to multiple issue orders, and these orders can even be of different order types. InventTrans.TransChildRefId = wmsOrder.OrderId Ī shipment consists of a shipment header and lines, and the information relates to output orders which, again, relate to the different reference order lines. InventTrans.TransChildType = InventTransChildType::WMSOrder
Consider the following code example of output order creation.ĪOT/Classes/WMSOrderCreate/updateCreateWmsOrder() All related inventory transactions are marked consistently against an output order. This relationship is maintained by two dedicated fields on the InventTrans table (TransChildType and TransChildTypeRef). When the output order is created, it takes “ownership” of corresponding issue inventory transactions. The output order holds information about the status of the outbound process and it is linked to the detailed information of the issue reference line.
The output order is created when the reference order is released (Posting of the picking list), or when a manual output is requested from the issue reference line. In Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009, the warehouse management outbound processes use output orders. The following activation of the picking process makes it possible to pick and deliver picked inventory to the shipment staging areas where the shipment is staged and loaded before it is sent.Īs shown below, the outbound process can be set up to include only part of the existing stages. When shipment reservation is run, the program creates picking routes and/or output pallet transports based on predefined settings.
The output orders are associated with a shipment, and in that process Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 creates shipment lines. The output order is created when the reference order is released (Posting of the picking list). To control the process of issuing the physical inventory, an output order is used in the warehouse management area. When, for example, a sales order line is created in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 an inventory transaction is created with a negative quantity to control an expected issue of inventory. From the shipment you can activate a pallet transport, a picking route, or both. A shipment includes an entire order, a part of an order, or a consolidation of multiple orders.īased on the contents of the shipment, one or more picking routes, one or more pallet transports, or both are created.Īn output order is a request for a picking requirements and it forms the basis of a shipment. Ī shipment is a collection of items that are packed in the same container for transport by, for example, ship, rail, truck, or plane.
In Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 outbound shipping via warehouse management is processesed through a shipment.
Please welcome the first post of a WMS series on this blog. The training material covers main flows and processes, but there is still plenty of room for discussions on this exiting subject. Formal training is available with the courses “Trade and Logistics I in Microsoft Dynamics® AX 2009” and “Trade and Logistics II in Microsoft Dynamics® AX 2009”. The WMS functionality is enabled by the configuration keys LogisticsAdvanced, WMSBasic, and WMSAdvanced.
The WMS (Warehouse Managements System) encompasses the core components within average Microsoft Dynamics AX installations that are implemented to manage and run world class warehouses.
