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.
- When the demand code is Customer Schedule the release quantity will be updated in the sales quantity of the
customer order line. The available lines will get updated accordingly and the date sequence will be considered
here.
