Complete Delivery Indicator
Customer requires his or her orders to be delivered completely
two places where you can enter this indicator:
Customer master record, shipping screen
Order header, business data tab, delivery field
43
Partial Delivery Indicator
Customer allows partial deliveries for his orders. Partial delivery agreements are taken into account during the availability check in the order. These indicators are once again checked when the delivery is created. The delivery must observe the partial delivery agreements in the order.
Three places you can enter this indicator
Customer master record,
Customer-material information record
Order item,
44
Standard Partial Delivery Indicators
"Blank" - Up to maximum number of partial deliveries permitted are allowed
A - One delivery attempt carried out on requested date
B - One delivery attempt carried out on any date
C - No partial deliveries allowed
D - Any number of subsequent deliveries allowed
45
Maximum Number of Partial Deliveries
The check carried out for the delivery indicators is influenced by the number of partial deliveries permit
46
Standard Partial Delivery Indicator "Blank"
You can enter as many partial deliveries as you wish for an order item until the maximum number permitted is reached. If the last delivery does not result in the entire outstanding order quantity being reached, you receive a warning message.
In this situation, you can create a partial delivery of 5 pieces for the example. The order item is then regarded as partially delivered. Once the material becomes available again, you would create another partial delivery. This process would continue until the item is fully delivered or the maximum number of deliveries has been reached.
47
Standard Partial Delivery Indicator A
If the delivery quantity on this date is not the same as the outstanding order quantity, you receive a warning message. If the delivery quantity is greater than zero, the system marks the order as complete. This indicator is used, for example, when the customer wants you to ship as much as possible on a particular date. If the delivery quantity falls short of the order quantity, the customer wants the order to be marked as complete (that is, wants no backorders).
48
Standard Partial Delivery Indicator B
This delivery should fully satisfy the order quantity. If the delivery quantity does not correspond to the outstanding order quantity, you receive a warning message.
Any delivery quantity, even zero, completes processing of the order. This indicator can be used, for example, for customers who want no backorders to be generated, even when a delivery quantity is zero.
If only part of the order quantity can be delivered, a delivery is created and the order item is then regarded as completed.
You can create a delivery for 5 pieces for the order item in the example. The order item is then regarded as completed
49
Standard Partial Delivery Indicator C
Complete delivery is required for an order item.
You receive a warning message if you try to create a partial delivery of 5 pieces for the order item in the example.
50
Standard Partial Delivery Indicator D
You can enter any number of subsequent deliveries for an order item until the maximum number of partial deliveries permitted is reached. You can over deliver the original order quantity in the process. An order item can only be assigned the completed status manually. After you assign this status, no further deliveries can be created.
You can create a partial delivery of 5 pieces for the order item in the example and then go on to create any number of subsequent deliveries as long as you do not manually mark the item as completed.
51
Lean WM
Essentially allows you to use benefits of WMS without having to update the stock at the bin level
52
Benefits of Lean WM
If you do no wish to update stocks in your fixed bin warehouse at storage bin level, Lean WM provides you with the option of using the advantages of warehouse management through transfer orders in the same way as warehouse management using the WMS.
You can reprint transfer orders at any time
You can split transfer orders and thus distribute the workload better among the staff in your warehouse.
You can pass on the transfer order target data and the names of those who process transfer orders to the HR application component, where this data can be used to calculate incentive wage.
53
Prerequisites for implementing Lean
Assign a (newly defined) storage location to a warehouse number.
Set up at least two storage types:
- A picking storage type as the source storage type
- A shipping area as the destination storage type for deliveries
54
