Dispatch#

Overview#

With the Dispatch functionality, you can create orders that contain item lines, manually created document lines—such as for the simple dispatch of sample parts—and information about the packaging used for delivery.

Orders of this type might contain posted shipments alongside warehouse and inventory documents, such as Whse. Shipment and Inventory Pick. On each order, you can assign different unit loads (carriers) to one another to create a deep-nested packaging structure. You can then assign a carrier ID on each level so that when you send (that is, post) the order, the consumption of packaging material and the related warehouse or inventory documents will be posted at the same time.

You can also set up packing suggestions to store instructions on how to pack items and make use of available packaging materials. A suggestion specifies the packing methods for one type of item or packaging material. For grouping different items or materials on a higher level, for example, a pallet, you need to combine both types of suggestions.

Default Load Carrier#

As part of the dispatch process in KUMAVISION base (BOOSTER), KUMAVISION trade365 allows for the definition of a default carrier per shipping agent within the V-Log carrier assignment. This default carrier is automatically inserted into the respective dispatch order. Subsequently, the relevant items can be assigned to the defined load carrier.
