How You Send Shipment Lines Using Only a Specific Subinventory
You can send shipment lines to an external execution system only when on-hand quantity available in a specific subinventory.
Subinventories provide a way for you to separate your on-hand quantities to meet specific segregation requirements. You can create outbound shipment requests for a specific Pick-from Subinventory using the Create Outbound Shipment Request process.
- The process will first evaluate all the shipment lines available for release against the selected subinventory.
- The shipment lines are sent to the external system if a sufficient quantity is available to fulfil the request.
- The shipment lines are either partially sent or not sent at all if there isn't a sufficient quantity available to fulfil the request.
-
If the Reservation Behavior for Integration to External Systems option is set to Partially reserved lines and on-hand quantity is partially available in the Pick-from Subinventory, you can interface the Shipment lines for partial quantity.
-
If the Reservation Behavior for Integration to External Systems option is set to Fully reserved lines and on-hand quantity is fully available in the Pick-from Subinventory, you can interface the Shipment lines for full quantity.
-
If the Reservation Behavior for Integration to External Systems option is set to All lines without creating reservation, the Pick-from Subinventory is ignored and all shipment lines are sent without creating any reservations.
Additional Considerations
-
You can send shipment lines to external systems by running the Create Outbound Shipment Request process with the Prior Reservations Only option in conjunction with the Pick-from Subinventory option. This ensures the creation of detailed reservations only for shipment lines with prior reservations.
-
When the subinventory provided on the order line does not have enough on-hand quantity to send the shipment lines, you can override the source subinventory with a different Pick-from Subinventory.
