Infor LN & Baan Tip: Outbound Order Lines

When the originating order or order line of an outbound order line is canceled or changed, this affects the outbound order line and may impact the related outbound advice, shipments, or shipment lines.

For most order origins, warehousing order-type parameters determine whether these actions are allowed:

  1. Update the outbound order line if the originating order is changed.
  2. Cancel the originating order line and the outbound order line.
  3. Delete the canceled outbound order line.

Updating Outbound Order Lines

  • Allowed: Changes made to the originating order are updated to the outbound order line. Related outbound advice and picking lists, if present, are deleted.
  • Not Allowed: A message is displayed, and input is blocked when trying to change the originating order line.

Canceling Outbound Order Lines

  • Allowed: The outbound order line is deleted or set to Canceled when the originating order line is canceled.
    • When a canceled outbound order line is deleted, related outbound advice and picking lists are also deleted.
    • Outbound order lines originating from manual order origins cannot be deleted when canceled.
  • Not Allowed: You cannot cancel the originating order line or the outbound order line. A message is displayed when attempting to cancel the originating order line.

Processing Canceled Outbound Order Lines

  • To process an outbound order line set to Canceled, the outbound order line must be set to Shipped.
  • The status of the outbound order line determines whether all steps of the outbound and shipment procedures must be completed.
  • When a canceled outbound order line is set to Shipped, the shipped quantity is automatically set to 0.
  • A transfer order can be created to return the not-shipped goods to inventory.

Preventing Shipment When Canceling is Not Allowed

  • Complete the outbound and shipment procedures to prevent goods from being shipped.
  • When confirming the shipment line, set the shipped quantities to 0 and create a transfer order to return the not-shipped goods to inventory.

Tips:  LX | BPCS | M3

When is the last time you took a hard look at your production lines?

  • How are you moving product through the facility?
  • Do you have work instructions / drawings available where needed?
  • Do you have frequently used inventory available at the line?
  • Where are the bottlenecks?
  • Are your processes simplified?

Taking a hard look at your processes and procedures may reveal some interesting results. Don’t assume that everyone is doing things the same way. Some may be superstars, and others may need some mentoring. Some processes may be outdated and costing you time and money, while others are extremely efficient. One area of the business may benefit from how others operate. Take the time to review and analyze your findings. Your company may benefit greatly as a result.

Such lofty goals you had when you implemented your ERP system. It was going to be like pressing the “Easy Button”…  then it wasn’t.

What happened? In some cases, decisions were made to implement the system “just like we used to run our old system”. Great idea? Not so much. Your business changes, and your business software needs to change as well.

Are you using the ERP system, but everything seems cumbersome and takes more time than its worth? 

Ask yourself these questions:

  • Have you looked at streamlining your processes?
  • Can you automate a step or two and eliminate some manual keying?
  • Can you add barcoding to avoid keying in some information altogether?
  • How about automating the printing of some reports?

Now is the time to sit down and really review the steps required to complete the task and think out of the box a bit. Soon you can develop your own streamlined process to get the job done quickly and efficiently.
