Support Ship OBLPN Action Type in OBLPN Putaway Type Action UI

OBLPN Putaway actions such as locating, loading, and staging OBLPNs, support efficient inventory management after packing. These actions allow you to direct the OBLPNs to drop or staging locations, or directly load the OBLPNs, based on the configuration.

We have added a new action type “Ship OBLPN” to the OBLPN Putaway Type Action View (OblpnPATypeActionView) UI. This enables you to ship OBLPNs directly to a specified shipping location as part of the OBLPN putaway workflow, reducing the need for separate shipping transactions.

With this enhancement, you can specify a shipping location to ship OBLPNs, eliminating confusion and manual workarounds. Whether dispatching individual orders, consolidating for bulk shipments, or routing for further processing, you can now ship OBLPNs efficiently using the Ship OBLPN to Ship Location (rf.outbound.cwrfshipoblpn) mobile transaction.

To specify a shipping location to ship OBLPNs, the following key enhancements are available :

  • A new action type “Ship OBLPN” has been added to the “OBLPN Putaway Action Type” drop-down list in the OBLPN Putaway Type Action View UI and you can enter the desired shipping location in the “Destination Location Barcode” field.
  • A new selection field “Fetch Destination Location From” is added in the OBLPN Putaway Type Action View UI. This enables the configuration to select the shipping location based on custom field values from the following Order Header (OrderHdrView) and OBLPNs (ObContainerView) Custom Fields:
    • Order Hdr - Custom Field 1 to 5
    • Order Hdr - Custom Short Text 1 to 12
    • Order Hdr - Custom Long Text 1 to 3
    • Container - Custom Field 1 to 5

When configuring the “Ship OBLPN” action in the OBLPN Putaway Type Action View UI, you have two options to specify the shipping location to ship OBLPNs:

  • You can enter a location in the “Destination Location Barcode” field in the OBLPN Putaway Type Action View UI.
  • Alternatively, if the shipping location is passed in the custom fields of the Order Header or OBLPNs UI, you can select the relevant custom field from the Fetch Destination Location From drop-down list.

NOTE:

  • You can configure only one of the above configurations.
  • If the entered location barcode is invalid or non-shipping location, the system displays an error message.
  • If the selected custom field does not have a configured location, you can scan any available shipping location during the transaction.
  • If an OBLPN has multiple orders with different locations specified in custom fields, the system displays a warning message. After accepting the warning, you can proceed to scan any available shipping location.

For the “Ship OBLPN” action, in the “OBLPN Putaway Type Action Screen” field, you can select only the Ship OBLPN to Ship Location (rf.outbound.cwrfshipoblpn) mobile transaction screen. If you fail to configure the screen, the system displays an error message.

Once you configure a shipping location and screen for the “Ship OBLPN” action, the system navigates you to the Ship Oblpn to Ship Location mobile transaction from the OBLPN Putaway (rf.outbound.cwrfputawayoblpn) mobile transaction and guides you to the configured shipping location. You can then scan the location and ship OBLPNs to it.

ERROR HANDLING FOR OBLPNS ON LOAD

In the scenarios where you want to reroute an OBLPN directly to a shipping location even if it is loaded, we now allow shipping OBLPNs that are already assigned to a load.

When you scan an OBLPN (that is already assigned to a load) in the Ship OBLPN to Ship Location mobile transaction, the system now displays a warning message instead of an error message. When you accept the warning message, the system delinks the OBLPN from its assigned load and prompts for a shipping location.

Steps to Enable

To configure a shipping location to ship OBLPNs in the OBLPN Putaway Type Action View (OblpnPATypeActionView) UI, do the following:

  1. Select a Putaway Type.
  2. From the OBLPN Putaway Action Type drop-down list, select “Ship OBLPN”.
  3. Configure the shipping destination using one of the following options:
  • In the Destination Location Barcode field, enter a shipping location.
  • From the Fetch Destination Location From drop-down list, select the shipping location based on custom field values from the Order Header (OrderHdrView) and OBLPNs (ObContainerView) Custom Fields.
  1. From the OBLPN Putaway Type Action Screen drop-down list, select the Ship OBLPN to Ship Location (rf.outbound.cwrfshipoblpn) mobile transaction screen.

NOTE: If you fail to configure the screen, the system displays an error message.

  1. Click Save.

After configuring the shipping location and screen for the “Ship OBLPN” action, the system navigates you to the Ship Oblpn to Ship Location mobile transaction from the OBLPN Putaway (rf.outbound.cwrfputawayoblpn) mobile transaction and guides you to the configured shipping location. You can then scan the location and ship OBLPNs to it.
