Walkthrough - Picking and Shipping in Basic Warehouse Configurations

In Dynamics NAV, the outbound processes for picking and shipping can be performed in four ways using different functionalities depending on the warehouse complexity level.

Method Inbound process Bins Picks Shipments Complexity level (See Design Details: Warehouse Setup)
A Post pick and shipment from the order line X 2
B Post pick and shipment from an inventory pick document X 3
C Post pick and shipment from a warehouse shipment document X 4/5/6
D Post pick from a warehouse pick document and post shipment from a warehouse shipment document X X 4/5/6

For more information, see Design Details: Outbound Warehouse Flow.

The following walkthrough demonstrates method B in the previous table.

Story

Ellen, the warehouse manager at CRONUS, sets up SILVER warehouse for basic pick handling where warehouse workers process outbound orders individually. Susan, the order processor, creates a sales order for 30 units of item LS-81 to be shipped to customer 10000 from the SILVER Warehouse. John, the warehouse worker must make sure that the shipment is prepared and delivered to the customer. John manages all involved tasks in the Inventory Pick window, which automatically points to the bins where LS-81 is stored.
