Release Quantity not Reserved from Shipment
Explanation
This activity is used to release the shipment connected quantity that is
not reserved. This is used when the person responsible for the shipment decides
that only what is reserved and picked should be delivered with the current shipment.
This activity can be executed either manually or automatically. Whether or not
to release not reserved quantity automatically, is controlled by the shipment
type of the shipment. In the shipment type, you can define that not reserved
quantity should be release at the execution of a main activity in the shipment
flow e.g. reservation, report picking etc.
Prerequisites
- The shipment must be in the Preliminary state.
System Effects
- For non-package parts, the shipment line quantity will be reduced to
be equal to what is reserved.
- For customer order package parts, the shipment line quantity will be
reduced to be equal to what corresponds to the most reserved component.
- If the shipment line has no reservation at all, the shipment line will
be removed.
- The reduced or removed quantity will be available for connection to
shipment again.
- If a handling unit structure has already been automatically generated
or manually created, then when you release the quantity not reserved, the
handling unit structure might need to be reviewed.
Note: Transport
documents must be reprinted after the handling unit structure is altered.
