Understanding the Remove Unreleased Lines from Shipments Report

If you are processing sales orders through the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Transportation Management system, the system assigns shipment numbers to order lines at sales order entry. If the system does not allocate inventory to sales order lines when you run the Release from Fulfillment report, the unreleased sales order lines remain on the same shipment number as the released sales order lines. When this occurs, the system does not process shipments until all of the sales order lines have been released.

The Remove Unreleased Lines from Shipments report provides the ability to remove unfulfilled sales order lines from their existing shipment number. This report runs independently from the Release from Fulfillment report based on business process or based on the need to recover from record reservation errors that prohibited the initial removal of unfulfilled lines.

When you run the Remove Unreleased Lines from Shipments report, the system:

• Keeps all of the fully released lines and partially released lines on the original shipment number.

• Creates a new shipment number for partially unreleased lines when the sales order contains:

  • Some lines fully released.

  • Some lines partially released.

  • Some lines fully unreleased.

• Activates record reservation for the selected unreleased sales order lines.

• Verifies whether the sales order line is part of a kit item.

  If the item is a kit item, the system retrieves the related components and processes the kit parent component to assign a new shipment number to the unreleased order lines.

• Generates a PDF report that includes the order number, order type, company, line number, previous shipment number, new shipment number, and error ID.

• Sends a message to the Work Center.

• Releases record reservation.

• Deletes records from the Released Shipments Workfile table (F427UI03).
