Automatically release a Sales order, create Warehouse Shipment and Create Pick

Posted on by MaddieGreen

We have an E-commerce store connected to Business Central that automatically creates a Sales Order.

After the Sales Order is created, we now have to do a couple of manual steps:

Open Sales Order
Release Sales Order
Warehouse Shipment page > Create Pick

Because we have the validation in our E-commerce store that every Sales Order is correct, we don't have to manually do the steps above. Is there a way (with scripting perhaps) to automate these steps?

So essentially that a Sales Order automatically creates a Pick.

Maddie,

To fully automate this I would ask your Partner to create a Job Queue that does the following:

1. Checks for Sales Order for e-commerce Type

2. Create Warehouse Shipment

3. Take #2 Warehouse Document and Create Warehouse Pick

This can be done very simply and they should help you.

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Marisun,

We ended up having a developer code this in for us so it would be automatic. Later on we did change our environment to Basic warehousing because that suited our business better, so the code was made redundant.

Hi Maddie

You can run regular task:

docs.microsoft.com/.../devenv-task-scheduler

So maybe by using task around codeunit 7312 (which is the object that creates pick) you may be able to get pick created when warehouse shipment created (by setting scheduler on regular basis).

I believe you will need customization to achieve your needs, like when you set release to sales order, then create warehouse shipment auto and from warehouse shipment create the pick automatically.

Kind regards

Hi Jerome,

Thanks for your quick reply!

It seems like we do need a warehouse shipment. I'm going to double check if this is the case. If we could skip unnecessary steps, why not right?

Could you elaborate on the Recurring que task for CodeUnite 7312 a bit more? If we don't need a warehouse shipment, do we still use this method? And is this method a foolproof way to automate the steps I highlighted above?

Kind regards

Hi

Maybe by creating recurring queue task around CodeUnit 7312 could be something to check.

the thing is that it looks like you need also the warehouse shipment.

You could also go with pick needed but not required shipment added, then creating inventory pick from the sales order and post it would save 1 step meaning the warehouse shipment.

Kind regards

Jerome
