Ship Together Models

A ship-together model is a configuration or kit with the base model's Ship Model Complete inventory item attribute set to Yes. All associated models, options, and classes must be eligible for pick release, not on hold, and, along with associated included items, available in whole quantities of the model to be released for shipment. ATO models, ATO configured items, and ATO items are inherently ship-together models.

When you order a PTO or ATO model with the Ship Model Complete attribute set to Yes on the base model, the values for the scheduling attributes warehouse, ship-to location, shipment priority, freight carrier, schedule date, and demand class all default from the parent model line and override anything entered for individual options. Standard value rule sets have no effect on these lines. If you have a PTO model that has the Ship Model Complete attribute set to No, and if you have an ATO model within it, then the options of the PTO model can have their own values for these scheduling attributes, and the options within the ATO model inherit their values for these scheduling attributes from the ATO model line. You cannot, however, have a PTO model that has the Ship Model Complete attribute set to Yes within a PTO model that has the Ship Model Complete attribute set to No.

Attention: If the profile option OE: Reservations is set to No, Pick Release verifies only that all lines in a ship-together model are eligible for pick release and are not on hold. Available inventory is not verified. Manually backordered ship-together model lines are released as they meet the appropriate pick release criteria.
