Refill Remote Warehouse - Transport Task/Shipment Order

Dear All,

I am in a situation where I want to automatically be informed when remote warehouses need to be refilled.

To do so I have define my Remote Warehouse as a putaway zone, I have created a Remote warehouse parts assortments with refill order point and refill to qty with Refill source = inventory. The remote warehouse planning is ok. On site level I have set Transport Task automatic consolidation by multiple parts.

So when I now run the ‘Refill all putaway zones’ it auto creates my transport task to move the goods from my main warehouse to the remote warehouse. So far so good.

But now: actually I do not want to use a Transport Task but rather a Shipment Order. As indictaed on the “About Shipment Order” help page. Transport Tasks are good to move stullwithin the 4 walls of your building. Now I have a remote warehouse (the definition of remote being= not within the 4 walls of my building :-)), so I would like to use the shipment flow that is available in the Shipment Order process to ship the goods to a geogrpahical location outside my main warehouse building.

How can I do this?

Best Regards

Roel
