Warehouse Shipment Planning – Order Level
The order level in Warehouse Shipment Planning enables prioritized control of picking, packing, and loading for individual orders within a warehouse shipment.
Purpose
At the order level, individual orders within a warehouse shipment are controlled in detail. Dispatchers can set priorities, adjust loading dates, and monitor the progress of individual orders without losing the overall view at the shipment level.

Process Flow
1. Transport and Recording
- Use storage place scan and load carrier scan for documentation.
- Movements are logged in the stock ledger entries.
- SSCCs on dispatch staging areas are structured by warehouse shipment, order, customer, delivery country, date, and shipping agent.
- Load carrier status is taken into account (e.g. recorded, packed, not blocked).
2. Prioritization and Control
- Orders can be prioritized by urgency.
- Loading dates can be adjusted at the order level.
- The FactBox (ALT+F2) shows KPIs and source documents for decision support.
3. Posting and Completion
- Movements are automatically documented and stock is updated.
- Correct stock entry number and lot are verified.
- The overall process remains visible at the shipment level.
