The loading sequence you generate only applies to the lowest level of packing (loading). For example, if a Detail Container is specified for a delivery line, the loading sequence describes what the position of the item is in that container. If a container is not specified, the loading sequence describes what the position of the item is in the vehicle. If an item is loaded into a container first and then into a vehicle, a loading sequence will not be available for the container. However, the loading sequence of the containers can be derived by reviewing the vehicle load sheet, which prints the loading sequence in the correct order. See: Example of Loading Sequence Generation

Prerequisites

   The status of the delivery must be open.

   The Loading Order (located on the Delivery and Deliveries windows) must be defined for the delivery and the Production Sequence Number (located on the Delivery Lines window) must be defined for the delivery lines assigned to the delivery.

Attention: You can manually define the Loading Order in the Delivery or Deliveries window. The Production Sequence Number can be defined in one of two ways: the number can be defined for the order line at the customer site and the order line can then be imported via Order Import, or you can define the number in the Release Management alternative region on the Sales Orders window. See: Order Import and Defining Sales Order Line Release Management Information

   You must assign containers to each of the delivery line items. See: Assigning Containers to Delivery Lines

   You must calculate the number of required containers before the loading sequence can be determined. See: Calculating Containers

   You must calculate the weight and volume of the delivery and/or departure. See: Calculating Weight, Volume, and Fill Percentage
