Definition

To request the creation of multiple outbound deliveries.

Technical Data

Business Context and Use

A shipper uses a transportation management system to carry out transportation planning and execution for orders created in a logistics execution system (for example, sales orders or returns orders). During the planning process, optimized delivery proposals are created for the orders. The Request Outbound Delivery Creation As Bulk  outbound operation sends the delivery proposals to the logistics execution system and requests the creation of the outbound deliveries.

Features

The Request Outbound Delivery Creation As Bulk  outbound operation requests the creation of the relevant deliveries for the order items. The type of delivery created depends on the type of order to which the delivery relates (for example, outbound deliveries are created for sales orders, and replenishment deliveries are created for stock transport orders). At header level, each outbound delivery creation request is identified by an ID and contains information about dates. At item level, it provides the referenced order items, as well as information about the product, quantities, and measurements (for example, gross weight and gross volume). The delivery creation requests are sent in a bulk service operation to ensure that they are processed in the correct sequence (that is, first in first out).

For more information, see the documentation of the Create Outbound Delivery as Bulk inbound operation in the Outbound Delivery Processing process component.
