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.
