Business value

This feature allows a business to seamlessly provide updates to a warehouse without having to worry about order line updates not being reflected on related shipments and loads. Without this feature, users have to manually update or delete and then re-release lines if order quantities increase or new order lines are added.

Feature details

This functionality in this feature automatically updates quantities, increases as well as decreases, on a load line associated with a shipment after it’s been released to warehouse. This will occur as long as the load line on the shipment or load has not been processed on a wave. This implies that the feature will allow any order updates to automatically flow through to the warehouse without manual intervention as long as warehouse work hasn’t been created. Without this feature, only quantity decrease automatically flows through for as long as warehouse work hasn’t been created. This feature applies to sales order lines and transfer order lines.

The feature is enabled for a specific warehouse. This allows the company to apply different shipment auto update policies across warehouses, when required. By default, the shipment auto update policy applied for all warehouses that use a warehouse management process is on quantity decrease. With this policy setting, only quantity decreases automatically flow through to a shipment and load for as long as warehouse work hasn’t been created.
