Exercise - Pick and ship multiple sales orders

  • 12 minutes

Warehouse Management exercises use a sandbox demo company that you need to set up to complete these exercises. The steps to set up the needed sandbox environment and demo company are documented in the Set up a demo company with complete sample data unit of the Get started with warehouse management in Dynamics 365 Business Central module.

Scenario

On April 20, 2020, you receive the following orders:

  • Customer 60000 - Blanemark Hifi Shop:

    • Item LS-120: Four pieces

    • Item LS-MAN-10: Four pieces

  • Customer 61000 - Fairway Sound:

    • Item LS-150: Two pieces

    • Item LS-MAN-10: Two pieces

Because all items are available, you decide to use the company's own logistics to ship the items to the customers. Correspondingly, you change the shipping agent on the sales orders to OWN LOG.

When both orders are released, you create one warehouse shipment for both orders by using the shipping agent code as a filter.

From the warehouse shipment, you create a warehouse pick. After the pick has been registered, you're ready to ship the items to the customers.
