Ship Goods and Assets

Explanation

Use this activity to initiate the move of an inventory part, non inventory part, no part or a handling unit between a site and/or a remote warehouse. Depending on if the receiver site is within the same company or a different company, a shipment order or distribution order will be used to administrate the move.

Ship can be used in instances where the move of goods or handling units requires transport outside the warehouse, ie. to a different address. The functionality enables both the shipment and receipt processes so that operations and documents available in those processes can be utilized in the move. In comparaison, transport task is better suited to be used in stock movement within the warehouse.

Also Work Task Assets like serial objects or materials (inventory parts) can be moved between sites. For this, from Work Task\Returns tab plan material returns and open the Return to Inventory and Ship assistant. After returning the serial object or the material (inventory part), in the third step of the assistant, select the parts to be moved and click Ship to open the Ship Goods and Assets assistant.
