About This Walkthrough

In basic warehouse configurations where your location is set up to require pick processing but not ship processing, you use the Inventory Pick page to record and post pick and ship information for your outbound source documents. The outbound source document can be a sales order, purchase return order, outbound transfer order, or a production order with component need.

This walkthrough demonstrates the following tasks:

  • Setting up SOUTH location for inventory picks.
  • Creating a sales order for customer 10000 for 30 Amsterdam Lamps.
  • Releasing the sales order for warehouse handling.
  • Creating an inventory pick based on a released source document.
  • Registering the warehouse movement from the warehouse and at the same time posting the sales shipment for the source sales order.

Roles

This walkthrough demonstrates tasks that are performed by the following user roles:

  • Warehouse Manager
  • Order Processor
  • Warehouse Worker

Story

Ellen, the warehouse manager at CRONUS, sets up SOUTH warehouse for basic pick handling where warehouse workers process outbound orders individually. Susan, the order processor, creates a sales order for 30 units of item 1928-S to be shipped to customer 10000 from the SOUTH Warehouse. John, the warehouse worker must make sure that the shipment is prepared and delivered to the customer. John manages all involved tasks on the Inventory Pick page, which automatically points to the bins where 1928-S is stored.

Once you have the location set up, you must add two bins.
