Step-by-Step Procedures for Front-End Shipping

In this quick ship scenario, the step up steps are:

1. Restrict the Front-End Shipping Requests page to demand lines in the Releasable state.

2. Define the run control ID for Front-End Shipping.

Once you have completed this setup, use the following steps to ship stock:

1. Run the Reserve Materials process or online reservations to reserve stock for each order. Each demand line that is successfully reserved is move from the Unfulfilled state to the Releasable state.

2. Physically pick the stock without using a pick plan.

3. Use the predefined run control to launch the Front-End Shipping process. This moves the demand lines from the Releasable state to the Shipped state. If desired, you can move the demand lines into the Depleted state by using auto-processing.

4. Generate any shipping documents needed. If necessary, these documents can be produced earlier in the fulfillment cycle.

5. If not using auto-processing, run the Deplete On Hand Quantity (Depletion) process to complete the final step in order fulfillment by depleting the PeopleSoft Inventory business unit for the shipped stock and marking the demand lines as depleted.
