How Project-Specific Inventory is Shipped

You can ensure that inventories from a specific project are shipped against project-specific sales or transfer orders.

Also, when business rules allow, inventory from common inventory is shipped and the costs of the goods sold are sent to the associated project.

You can validate the project attributes on each order line to make sure you send the correct combination of attribute values to downstream applications, such as shipping and costing, regardless of whether you perform order capture in the Order Management work area or through order import.

On the Manage Shipment Lines page, you can view the project record indicator, project, and task passed from Order Management when it creates a shipping request. Pick release fulfills the reservation and allocates the material based on the reservation.

During picking, you can do any of these:

• Pick release by project and task, and group the picks with the same project and task on a single pick slip.

• Override the suggested pick and pick any project or common inventory.

• Modify shipping reports to display the costing and inventory project, and task.

Here's how you can pick release by project and task:

1. From the Shipments task list in the Inventory Management work area, click Create Pick Wave.

2. Enter your Project Number and Task Number along with other criteria.

Override Suggested Pick

Here's how you can override the suggestion and pick either project or common inventory:

2. On the Confirm Pick Slips: Search page, search for your pick slip.
