Understanding Outbound Inventory Order Line Types

When you enter detail information for an outbound inventory order, you enter the quantity, price, and cost for each item. You can also enter an internally owned shipment line, a non-stock item, and vendor managed inventory information in the same sales order.

Each entry is a line. A line is the information for an item or service that you are ordering as it pertains to the order. The system processes each line based on a line type.

A line type is a code that the system uses to process each detail line that you enter for a specific order type. For example, you can specify line type S for stock items. The system determines whether it should increase or decrease the quantity of the item in inventory. You can specify line type F for freight charges. The system determines from the definition of the line type that this item is not an inventory item.

You can specify how the system uses line types in the general ledger and within JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Outbound Inventory Management. For example, when you complete an internally owned shipment transaction, you can assign a line type for internally owned shipments. The system records the transaction according to the information that you specified for the line type. In this case, the system does not associate any price with the internally owned shipment line type.

You must create the following line types to use the JD Edwards Outbound Inventory Management system:

• S: Internally owned shipment (used for internally owned shipment orders)

• B: Internally owned billing (used for internally owned billing orders)

• V: Customer owned shipment/billing (used for customer owned VMI orders)

The following table describes the three different line types used for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Outbound Inventory Management system:

Line Type	Line Type Description	Used for Agreement	Order Lines with Price
S	Internally Owned Shipment	Consigned Inventory Agreement Internally Owned Vendor Managed Inventory	No
B	Internally Owned Billing	Consigned Inventory Agreement Internally Owned Vendor Managed Inventory	Yes
V	Customer Owned Shipment/Billing	Customer Owned VMI Agreement	Yes
