Exporting Packing Lists
Use Packing List Export (35.4.15) used to communicate a request for shipment of product from a public warehouse to a customer location.
For example, you can create a shipping order that informs a public warehouse that the listed items and quantities are shipped to the end customer’s location.
Note: This program generates packing lists for shipment to customers based on sales order picklists. To instruct a warehouse to deliver to another warehouse based on a distribution order packing list, use DO Packing List Export.
This program is similar to Sales Order Packing List (79.13). However, instead of sending standard packing list data to a specified output device, Packing List Export uses EDI eCommerce setup records to generate an export file. The file is in the format specified for the receiving trading partner.
Packing List Export (35.4.15)
This export uses the following trading partner parameters, which are set up in Trading Partner Parameter Maint (35.13.10):
• Logical position 13: Send Packing Lists; set to Yes or No
• Character: Packing List Doc Name; set to the name of the application document definition to use (for example, Packing-List)
• Integer: Packing List Doc Name; set to the version number of the application document definition to use
To determine whether to select packing lists for export, the system first looks for a trading partner parameter record matching the site and company address specified in the selection criteria. If not found, the system uses the site and bill-to from the sales order to look for a parameter record with Send Packing Lists set to Yes.
Optionally, you can limit the export to documents for which items have been picked or that are already included on a shipper. Additionally, you can choose to include order lines that have not been allocated.
Note: Include Unallocated Lines can be Yes only when Export Only Picked Lines and Export If Shipper Exists are No.
