This post is in continuation to Ship Confirm Process but with a change where in Business do not want Picking to take place and as soon as Orders are released from Order Management, Shipping should take place.
This generally happens when shipment process happens in bulk which enhances the performance or so called operational efficiency.
Mandatory Setups for Quick Ship Process
Setup 1 : Ensure Pick Confirmation is unchecked in Organization where we do not want Picking to happen.
- Navigation: Go to setup and Maintenance -> Enter task “Manage Inventory Organization Parameters”.
- Go to tab Item Sourcing Details. Under Picking Defaults -> Ensure “Pick confirmation required” is not checked. i.e. we do not want picking to happen in this warehouse.
Setup 2 : Ensure Quick Ship is enabled in Shipping Parameters.
- Navigation: Go to setup and Maintenance -> Enter task “Manage Shipping Parameters”.
- Ensure “Enable quick Ship” is checked.
- Subinventory for Quick Ship should be filled with Subinventory from where shipment happens.
- Please Note: i.e this Subinventory should have all necessary quantity else it will be difficult for warehouse operator to manually change subinventory at time of Ship Confirm.
Setup 3 : Ensure Quick Ship is enabled in Shipping Parameters.
- Navigation: Go to setup and Maintenance -> Enter task “Manage Ship Confirm Rules”.
- For rule “Auto Ship“, Ship with section is defaulted for “Ship quantities”. In case we have Subinventory populated under “Subinventory for Quick Ship” in Setup 2, we should change it to “Requested quantities”.
Setup 4: Verify that Subinventory has enough stock of the Item which needs to be quick shipped.
- Go to Supply Chain Execution -> Inventory Management -> Manage Item Quantities
- Enter Item which we are going to order.
- Verify we have On Hand quantity in necessary Subinventory “Stores”.
