The output module is a fundamental tool for managing inventory shipments within the system, facilitating planning, collection, and packaging. To ensure efficient operation and avoid errors during processing, it is essential that users understand and comply with a set of established rules and technical limitations.

This article covers the following topics:

• General references for an output order
  • Header-level information
  • Line-level information
• References for creating output orders via API

General references for an output order

Header-level information

• Ship to: Only pre-configured accounts in the system can be used.
• Shipping address:
  • If multiple shipping addresses are configured at the account level, the first registered shipping address will be assigned automatically.
  • If no shipping addresses are configured, but a billing address exists at the account level, it will be used as the default shipping address.
    • Additionally, the account name will be assigned as the recipient of the order.
• Billing address: 
  • If multiple shipping addresses are configured at the account level, the first registered shipping address will be assigned automatically.
    • If no shipping addresses are configured, but a billing address exists, it will be used as the default for shipping.
• Carrier: By default, pre-configured carriers are used.
• Tracking number:
  • Entered manually by the user.
  • Character limit: 255.
• Estimated shipping date: Any date can be specified.
• Notes: Up to 65,000 characters can be recorded.

Line-level information

• Part number:
  • Only previously configured part numbers in the system can be used.
• Required quantity:
• Packed quantity:
  • By default, the system allows indicating a packed quantity greater than the requested quantity. To disable this option, the setting "Validate that the selected quantity does not exceed the requested quantity" must be enabled at the account level.
• Location:
  • Must be pre-configured locations.
  • By default, the system allows inventory collection from normal or pick locations.
    • To restrict collection to pick locations only, enable the setting "Enable picking only from pick locations" at the account level.
• Label:
  • Must match the requested part number and be located in a valid location.
  • Inventory managed by part number: When inventory is managed by part number, the system will, by default, assign a virtual label that does not physically exist and is not expected to be scanned by the user.
• Purchase order: By default, the system assigns the purchase order number specified at the header level.
• Serial:
  • Must match the requested part number.
  • Serial management:
    • Must not have been previously shipped.
    • Must be available and not committed to another output order.
• Part number description: Read-only and displays the configured description for the part number.
• UOM type: Read-only and displays the unit of measure type configured for the part number.

References for creating output orders via API

Allows the creation of one or more orders with multiple lines via the API, following the general rules of an output order previously mentioned.

Important considerations:

• The user used for authentication via the API must have the necessary permissions to create output orders.
• Limit of lines to communicate: 750.
• The total number of lines to communicate considers both a single output order or multiple orders that together sum up to 750 product lines.

Consequence of exceeding the limit:

• The system will not process the request.

Execution time: Approximately 43 seconds for an order with 501 lines.

Recommendation: Split the request into orders that together have fewer than 750 lines to optimize performance.
