Planning a Departure
You can plan a departure once deliveries and delivery lines have been assigned to a departure. After you set the status of the departure to planned, it is eligible for pick release. When you plan a departure, Order Entry / Shipping:
- validates that the sequence numbers between the deliveries of the departure are unique,
- validates that weight, volume, and fill percentage do not exceed their maximums,
- validates that the minimum fill percentage is met,
- validates that the planned departure date is not in the past, and
- (if Weight/Volume Calculation is set to Automatic on the Shipping Parameters window) calculates and captures the estimated number and type of containers needed and issues a warning if the number of containers exceeds the container load capacity for the vehicle.
Attention: When you plan a departure, all deliveries assigned to that departure are also planned.
