Load posting methods

Hi

recently the company I am working for got a new environment and no load posting methods are generated in the set up. We are using wms enabled warehouse, waves, loads, shipments and work. I came to this part of the project late and noticed waves, loads and shipments are being created for sales orders that have no stock on hand and none reserved. I believe that this is due to no load posting methods existing to validate the load before posting etc. 

However a consultant is trying to say I am in correct but offering me no other reason why. I have always in other roles with warehouse management even as an operations manager seen these load posting methods should exist. To prove the point I took a sales order with 1 item that has no stock on hand, made sure it wasn’t reserved and released it  to the warehouse. I got a wave (created) and a load and shipment with the item on the load line for 0 of the item. 

so am I correct in my thoughts? As to me if they did exist no loads would be created like this.

I have the same question (0)

    Hi tl82,

    You could generate the load posting methods and repeat the same test and that would validate your theory; Load Posting methodes should be there anyway.

    However, you will likely find that Wave, Load and Shipment are still created. That is because these are created through the Wave Processing Methods which are added to your Wave Templates. Just like the Load Posting Methods, there have to be generated (sometime re-generated when new methods are added) from the Wave Processing Methods list page.  

    When a shipment is released to warehouse, the system will find the applicable wave template and cycle throught the wave processing methods which is how you load and shipment are being created.

    Kind regards,

    Danny

    Thanks again Danny I actually found that the examples I discovered were created when no wave processing methods where enabled also. However this was several month ago so wasn’t obviously until I checked the modified date and time and joined the dots! So you were totally correct in your advice.
