MSDyn365FO: Manual shipment consolidation

This scenario presents a solution in support of a process where orders are sourced from the same customer. The shipments containing the items are to be merged or consolidated to save transportation costs.

In this blogpost we are going to create two sales orders for the same customer. Since we are going to ship them at once, we will consolidate those shipments.

Let’s create sales orders.

Next, we will release them both by navigating to Warehouse tab > Release to warehouse.

Now as they both Released, we can consolidate them.

Navigate to Warehouse management > Shipments > All shipments.

Highlight the first one and click Consolidate shipment button.

Highlight the shipment that you would like to add and click OK button.

If you look at the shipment, you will notice that two orders are within the same shipment. Pay attention to the Load details section.

Now, let’s close the work tasks through the WMS emulator.

Log in under worker of the 221 warehouse.

Navigate to the Outbound menu.

Choose Sales picking.

Let’s review the work details for the shipment.

Scan Work ID for the first sales order.

Confirm the Picking.

Set the Target LP.

Confirm the Putting.

Make sure that work has been completed.

Check the Work status. It must be Closed.

Repeat the same steps for the second sales order.

Both Works are Closed now.

Shipment status is Loaded.

Once it’s done, you can ship the goods.
