How to: Assign containers to a Warehouse Shipment

When using warehouse shipment documents, it is possible to link an entire warehouse container and its content. The system will check if the contains the correct item and if the quantity on the order is equal to or more than the quantity on the container. The quantity on the container is added to the value in the field Qty. to Ship on the Warehouse Shipment Line. This way multiple containers with the same item can be linked to the shipment. Remember that the moment a container is linked to an outbound source document, it becomes a shipping container and can contain multiple items. From that point on it is possible to use the initial container and put other, loose, items on it.

Adding container to warehouse shipment:

• In the search box, enter Warehouse Shipments and then choose the related link.
• From the list, select the correct line.
• On the home tab, in the manage group, choose edit.
