Work with outbound shipments, Delivery addresses, Delivery/Customer sequence (DIR36101)

Diverting dispatches to another warehouse

There may be some rare and costly situations which would require dispatches from a particular warehouse to be stopped. To help minimize your losses and keep up your customer service, there is functionality on this panel which allows the shipments and sales orders to be diverted to another warehouse.

More information:

What can be diverted?
You can divert entire outbound shipments; multiple orders that are bound to the same shipment address; or just a few select shipment or sales order lines. In essence, any sales order/shipment line that has not been included in the pick process can be safely diverted to another warehouse.

How to divert shipments

Select the outbound shipments that you want to divert and click Warehouse diversion on this panel.
All of the shipment lines that you selected to divert will then be displayed on the Warehouse diversion confirmation panel.
On that panel you specify which warehouse the shipments are to be diverted to.
Click OK to divert shipment or Back to cancel.

This panel displays delivery address details.

Function keys

Shipment no: Displays the shipment number.

Customer: Displays the customer of the delivery address.

Address no: Indicates the customer’s delivery address. This value is defined in the Business partner file, Address file panel.

Warehouse: Displays the warehouse from which the shipment will be dispatched.

Delivery sequence

This sequence value determines the print sequence on the loading list and on the route delivery list indicating the order in which the delivery addresses included in the shipment should be arrived at during the route. If a delivery sequence is not defined for the address, then this field is blank.

If the field is blank, then you can either specify a sequence value for the delivery address manually, or if the outbound shipment is automatically created from a route plan, then you can click Retrieve delivery seq on the previous panel to retrieve a value from the destination and the customers per destination information in the route plan.

Note: When the loading list and the route delivery list are printed, addresses without delivery sequence will be considered to be delivered after addresses that have a sequence value.

The delivery sequence is assigned to the addresses in the following ways:

For outbound shipments that are automatically created from a route plan, the delivery sequence is not automatically defined. It is determined by the destination and customer per destination information entered in the Work with routes or Work with route list routines. You can, however, change this delivery sequence and manually assign a sequence to a delivery address. In that case, the manually entered delivery sequence on the address will be used. Nothing is then retrieved from the route plan.
For outbound shipments that use the Order assignment functionality the delivery sequence is automatically assigned to the addresses in the order that the sales order numbers/pick list numbers were entered. If two lines have the same delivery address, then they will be assigned the same delivery sequence. See Order assignment functionality for more information.
Shipments that are assigned lines by utilizing the Select lines program or via the Work with unattached lines program will not automatically receive a delivery sequence. If a loading list and/or a route delivery list is printed for such a shipment, then the delivery sequence can be manually entered.

Accumulated

Weight: Indicates the accumulated weight of this shipment (departing from this specific delivery address). Note: The unit for weight may differ depending on what is defined in the DIS control file.

Volume: Indicates the accumulated volume of the shipment (departing from this specific delivery address). Note: The unit for volume may differ depending on what is defined in the DIS control file.

Value: Indicates the accumulated value of the shipment (departing from this specific delivery address). Note: The amount is displayed in system currency.
