Differentiate ship set and arrival set?

In the ship set process, the user would like to ship group of order lines from same warehouse to same location. If Order Lines are grouped under ship set, then until all lines in the ship set satisfy the demand, you cannot ship the goods to customer.

In the arrival set process, the customer requests specific order lines to arrive together.

Move order Tables?

MTL_TXN_REQUEST_HEADERS
Move order headers, this stores the move order number in column (REQUEST_NUMBER). It has a status, but this is not used as much as the lines status to drive functionality.


MTL_TXN_REQUEST_LINES
Move order lines, this is the one that drives most queries and status checks for the move order as each line can be transacted individually.

 

MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS_TEMP
Pending material transactions table also called the transaction temporary table, this holds allocations that act like reservations on inventory. An allocation is where you pick a specific item in inventory down to the lot, locator, serial, revision to move, but you do not actually perform. The move yet.

Field move_order_header_id and move_order_line_id provided in this table, which related to

MTL_TXN_REQUEST_HEADERS and MTL_TXN_REQUEST_LINES.


MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS
This is the store of transact move order transactions. And there were some queries related with it.

 

For some additional notes:

When a move order is allocated, a corresponding record is inserted into the pending table (MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS_TEMP as well as lot/serial tables if required).

 

When the move order is transacted, the record moves from the pending table to the history table (MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS).


What is the difference between purchased and purchasable flag for an item?

 If both purchased and purchasable attribute are enabled, we can create new purchasing documents and approve and receive the items.

 

If purchased is enabled and purchasable is disabled, we cannot create purchasing documents and approve but we can receive the item against approved purchasing documents.

 

We can enable purchasable only when purchased is enabled.
