Transportation Managament - Outbound Order Processing

To create run a successful outbound TMS scenario, we need to first create a Sales order. Navigate to Sales and marketing > Sales orders > All sales orders and click new Sales order in the action pane. Select the customer account we are selling to. Here I’m using US-004 in my demo environment.Keep in mind, the address associated with the customer account is what will be references when we setup routes and rates.

We add lines - here item A0002, qty 10 and warehouse 63.

Make sure to reserve the inventory prior to releasing to warehouse. In the Sales order lines, under the inventory tab, select “Reservation”. In the Action pane of the reservation form, select reserve lot.

After reserving the lot, we can now release the order to our warehouse. Releasing the order creates our load and creates our work based on our the wave and work templates. Click “release to warehouse” in the Sales order action pane to get the process started.

After we released our Sales order to the warehouse, a Load has also been created. Navigate to Warehouse management > Loads > All loads. Here you can find the load associated with our Sales order and click into the Load details. On the action pane, under Transportation, click on Rate route workbench.
