Use the Serialized Logistics mobile application to ship or return products.

You can perform the following shipping activities:

Internal shipping to another warehouse of your company.
Internal return to another warehouse of your company.
External shipping to a client.
External return to a supplier.

The following table gives further details of the shipping options.

Shipping Type	Internal or External?	Return Possible?	Description
By batch	Internal	No	You can scan one pack to get a list of all the packs that belong to the same batch and ship them together. Only applicable if your warehouse is involved in manufacturing.
By stock transfer ID	Internal	Yes*	You can group products with a stock transfer ID (STID) and ship or return them together. By default, internal returns are not allowed.
By purchase order ID / return ID	External	Yes	You can create a transfer or execute an order. Both the transfer and the order take a purchase order ID (POID). (Transfers only) When picking is enforced before shipping, you can only confirm the picked items and submit them for shipping. You can go into return mode and return items to the supplier by creating a transfer with a return ID (VRA).

*When internal returns are allowed in the application configuration.

Reporting the Shipment to an External System

The shipment, except for returns, is reported to the applicable external system through the channel configured for the warehouse (BPOM, SFDA RSD, or SAP ICH), through the channel configured for the supplier (Tatmeen UAE or SAP ICH), or through the channel configured for the client in the USA (AS2, SFTP, or LSPediA).

Reporting to an external system is driven by your business use case. Consult your use case description and identify the type of shipping event that must be reported to the external system. For more information, see Serialized Logistics Workflows.

If the channel setting is not configured, the shipment is recorded in Movilitas.Cloud only.

Verification against the NMVS (FMD Europe)

If an Arvato regulatory channel is set and the FMD verification on outbound checkbox is selected for the warehouse, each pack is verified against the NMVS while shipping to a client.

If the item is valid (commissioned) but there is a warning from the NMVS, the application displays the warning message from the NMVS also. The warning does not block you from shipping the item.
If the pack is decommissioned or there is an issue with the pack, the pack is not added to the list in the mobile application and that pack cannot be shipped.

The shipment is not reported to the NMVS because shipping is a business-related activity not covered by the regulations.

Exporting Packs to a Non-FMD Country with Report to the NMVS (FMD Europe)

When the following conditions are met, the status of the items is set to Exported in the NMVS after submitting the items for shipping:

An Arvato regulatory channel is set for the warehouse.
The FMD verification on outbound checkbox is selected for the warehouse.
The client is not in an FMD country (outside EU).

The shipment is not reported to the NMVS because shipping is a business-related activity not covered by the regulations.

Commissioning while Shipping

For manufacturer sites, it is possible to commission the items while shipping hence performing multiple actions at the same time. As a prerequisite, the items must be created in Movilitas.Cloud through serialization activities in the Serialized Manufacturing application. The serialization activity is label printing or registering items in Movilitas.Cloud over the Manufacturer V2 API.

The commissioning while shipping can be activated or deactivated at the warehouse level.
The setting does not bring extra UI functions for the user in the mobile application but Movilitas.Cloud executes additional tasks and reports in the background.

Auto-unpack during Shipping

If the items to be shipped are aggregated and the hierarchy is known in Movilitas.Cloud, the application can unpack them automatically while shipping them to a client, and a manual unpack action is not required from the user.

The feature applies to outbound external orders only.
The setting can be activated or deactivated at the warehouse level.
The scope of the unpack can be also extended to dissolve parent container(s) (SSCCs).
The setting does not bring extra UI functions for the user in the mobile application but Movilitas.Cloud executes additional tasks in the background. For more information on the unpacking logic, see Unpack Products in Serialized Logistics (Mobile).

Note: The procedures described below take the use case when the operator scans the items by using the camera of the mobile device.

For mobile devices with built-in scanners, the GUI buttons related to scanning, like Scan Item, may not be displayed and you need to press the physical button on the device to scan.
For devices with external (table) scanners, you can point the scanner to the barcode to scan and you can ignore the GUI buttons on the screen related to scanning.

Ship Items by Purchase Order ID to a Client (External) - Transfer Only

You want to ship items to a client in a transfer that was not registered as an order in Movilitas.Cloud. The activity in the warehouse is recorded but is not controlled in Movilitas.Cloud.

Choose this method when the orders are not created in Movilitas.Cloud and you want to create only a transfer in Movilitas.Cloud. This is fully driven by the business use case in place at your company.

For the following scenarios, you must follow this procedure:

Connecting to BPOM (Indonesia).
Connecting to Tatmeen (UAE).
Connecting to SFDA RSD (Saudi Arabia).
Shipping to Bahrain.
Shipping to China with connection to SAP ICH.

For the following scenarios, you can select this procedure:

Connecting to NMVS (Arvato).
Shipping to the USA as a manufacturer or distributor.

To create a transfer, the items must be known in Movilitas.Cloud or an NMVS connection is required. Even if the application setting allows shipping unknown items, this mobile action is agnostic of the setting.

The naming convention for the transfer identifier (see purchase order ID) may not reflect the business processes in place at your company. The identifier may be called differently at your company. For example, transaction or import permit number.

Picking can be enforced before shipping. Picking limits the available actions for shipping. You can enforce picking at the warehouse level and this setting follows the business processes of your company.

The following table summarizes the possible setups.

Scenario	Available Actions
Picking is not enforced	You can create a purchase order by ID, add items, and ship the items. You can search for an existing purchase order that was created while picking and you can execute the shipping.

If an item is unknown in Movilitas.Cloud and shipping unknown items is forbidden in the application settings, the application displays an error message and it is not possible to ship. Consult with an administrator of the tenant.

The following table summarizes the system actions based on the business case or connection.

Business case/Connection	System Action
General	A transfer is created with the details in Movilitas.Cloud. You can check it by going to the Serialized Logistics application --> Transfers --> Outbound external --> Transfers page. Once an item is shipped, it is not in possession and it is not possible to perform an action on it until the item is received.
SAP ICH BPOM (Indonesia)	The commissioning event (manufacturers only) and the shipping event are reported to the applicable external system through the channel configured for the warehouse.
Shipping to Bahrain*	The system enables you to download the EPCIS 1.2 file and send the EPCIS 1.2 file to the supplier (MAH) by going to the Serialized Logistics application --> Transfers --> Outbound external --> Transfers page.
Shipping to the USA**	The system enables you to download the EPCIS 1.2 file by going to the Serialized Logistics application --> Transfers --> Outbound external --> Transfers page. If the client is a partner in Movilitas.Cloud, the client automatically receives the EPCIS file. Otherwise, you need to send the EPCIS file outside Movilitas.Cloud. If a collaboration channel is associated with the client, the EPCIS file is sent to the applicable collaboration system: To AS2 through an AS2 channel. A log is created on the channel. To SFTP through an SFTP channel. A log is created on the channel. To LSPediA through an LSPediA channel. A log is created on the channel. To TraceLink through a TraceLink Partner channel. A log is created on the channel.
Shipping to the UAE*	An EPCIS 1.2 file (manufacturing report) is sent to Tatmeen on behalf of the supplier (MAH). A log about the message is created on the Tatmeen regulatory channel associated with the supplier (MAH). If the shipment contains more than 50,000 items, the system splits the shipment into multiple EPCIS 1.2 files (messages). Each file describes a top-level parent and its hierarchy. If a top-level parent contains 50,000 or more items, it is not possible to ship any item from the shipment and the mobile application displays the following error message: Limit Exceeded! Number of items being shipped exceeds the allowed shipping limit toward Tatmeen. The limit of 50,000 items per EPCIS file comes from Tatmeen. Movilitas.Cloud applies the limit to comply with the requirements in Tatmeen. Shipping a large number of items might take some time and can lead to a timeout in the mobile application. Do not ship the items again because the transfer and the EPCIS message to Tatmeen are being created in the background. If an issue occurs with the shipment, a notification email is sent to the email address given on the Tatmeen regulatory channel.
Shipping within Saudi Arabia*	The following messages are sent to SFDA RSD: Dispatch - An XML file in a SOAP envelope that describes the lowest level of trade items that are shipped within Saudi Arabia. Package Upload - An EPCIS file that describes the complete shipment including master data, sender/receiver, and events. The EPCIS file is uploaded to SFDA RSD as a ZIP file. A separate log is created per message on the SFDA regulatory channel associated with the warehouse of the operator.
Shipping from Saudi Arabia to another country*	The following message is sent to SFDA RSD: Export - An XML file in a SOAP envelope that describes the lowest level of trade items that are shipped from Saudi Arabia to another country. A log is created per message on the SFDA regulatory channel associated with the warehouse of the operator.
NMVS (Arvato)	If the client is located in a non-FMD country (outside Europe), the packs are exported and their status is set to Exported in the NMVS after submitting the shipping. If the product is known in the NMVS, a bulk transaction is performed towards the NMVS. The transaction details are available under the Reports & Analysis application > FMD > Bulk responses tab. If the bulk transaction fails, Movilitas.Cloud sends an email to all administrators of the tenant, and optionally, to the operator, depending on the operator's settings. If the product is not known in the NMVS (multi-country pack), an inter-market call is triggered. A single transaction is performed per pack towards the NMVS. The transactions are forwarded to the other, fulfilling NMVS through the EU Hub. Once all transactions are processed, the application collects the errors (if any) and sends a summary email about the errors to all administrators of the tenant and to the operator who performed the action. The details of each transaction are available under the Reports & Analysis application > FMD > Scans tab.

*The transfer is a 3PL activity on behalf of a supplier that is the Marketing Authorization Holder (MAH) of the shipped items.

**A manufacturer or a distributor ships items to the clients.

Choose an input method: Select Scan Item and scan the items one by one. Select Manual Input and enter the trade item or container data. Use this method in a special case when reading the barcode is not possible. A built-in validator helps you confirm the entered data is GS1-compliant. For each field, the application identifier (AI) is also indicated in brackets: Pharma Pack tab (Trade item/SGTIN) Product code (01) Expiration date (17) - YYMMDD Batch (10) Serial (21) SSCC tab (Container) SSCC (00) Once the entered data is confirmed, the mechanism with scanning applies as described in this section. The application displays the scanned item in the list and updates the scanned quantity. To view the details of the scanned item or remove the scanned item, slide the item to the left and select Preview or Remove. If an item is already involved in a shipping activity, it is not possible to add it to the list. (FMD Europe only) If an Arvato regulatory channel is set and the FMD verification on outbound checkbox is selected for the warehouse, the scanned item is verified against the NMVS. If the item is valid (commissioned) but there is a warning from the NMVS, the application displays the warning message from the NMVS also. The warning does not block you from shipping the item. If the item is decommissioned or there is an issue with the item, the application displays a red icon with an appropriate message and stops the scanning process so that you can put the item away. When an alert is raised, the application informs the user about it. To continue scanning, remove the item that is highlighted in red. It is not possible to scan a container (SSCC). Each scanned item is automatically linked to the related line item. If the scanned container (SSCC) or parent trade item is known, the application goes down to the trade item level that has the product code of the line item and links those trade items to the line item. All trade items are automatically organized into the relevant line item. If there is a trade item below the scanned container (SSCC) that does not match any line item, the application displays an error message and does not add anything from the container (SSCC). If the scanned trade item or any of its children does not match any line item, the application displays an error message and does not allow scanning until the user removes the trade item that causes the issue. If the scanned container or trade item is unknown and shipping unknown items is forbidden in the application settings, the application displays an error message. The application does not allow scanning until the user removes the item that causes the issue. Otherwise, the scanned item is added to the list. If auto-unpack during shipping is activated at the warehouse level, the scanned item has a parent, and the hierarchy is known in Movilitas.Cloud, the application unpacks the item in the background. All parent trade items are dissolved in the hierarchy and optionally, the parent container(s) (SSCCs) can be also dissolved. These actions are performed on Movilitas.Cloud database only and the event is not sent to an external system. If auto-unpack during shipping is not activated at the warehouse level and the scanned item has a parent, the application displays a red icon with an appropriate message and stops the scanning process until the item is removed from the list. When you finished scanning the items, you can complete all the line items at once by selecting Complete on the Free scanning page. However, you can also complete the line items when shipping the order. In the line item view, you can verify the assigned trade items and the parent container(s) (SSCC(s)) with hierarchy (if any). Go back to the Line items page and select the line item for the details. Result of a scanned container (SSCC) - The application displays the top-level trade item but the quantity reflects the number of trade items having the product code of the line item. Result of a scanned trade item - The application displays the scanned item but the quantity reflects the number of trade items having the product code of the line item. You can return to free scanning even after all line items are completed until you ship the order. You can pause shipping the order by selecting Pause on the Line items page which displays the order ID, the delivery ID, and the list of line items.

The following table summarizes the system actions based on the business case or connection:

Business case/Connection	System Action
General	A transfer is created with the details in Movilitas.Cloud. You can check it by going to the Serialized Logistics application --> Transfers --> Outbound external --> Orders page. Once an item is shipped, it is not in possession and it is not possible to perform an action on it until the item is received.
Shipping to the USA as a 3PL with connection to SAP ICH*	An EPCIS 1.2 file is generated and sent through the SAP ICH channel that is configured for the supplier. The event is recorded as a DSCSA shipping event on the SAP ICH channel.
Shipping to the USA in non-3PL mode**	The system enables you to download the EPCIS 1.2 file by going to the Serialized Logistics application --> Transfers --> Outbound external --> Orders page. If a collaboration channel is associated with the client, the EPCIS file is sent to the applicable collaboration system: To AS2 through an AS2 channel. A log is created on the channel. To SFTP through an SFTP channel. A log is created on the channel. To LSPediA through an LSPediA channel. A log is created on the channel. To TraceLink through a TraceLink Partner channel. A log is created on the channel.
NMVS (Arvato)	If the client is located in a non-FMD country (outside Europe), the packs are exported and their status is set to Exported in the NMVS after submitting the shipping. If the product is known in the NMVS, a bulk transaction is performed towards the NMVS. The transaction details are available under the Reports & Analysis application > FMD > Bulk responses tab. If the bulk transaction fails, Movilitas.Cloud sends an email to all administrators of the tenant, and optionally, to the operator, depending on the operator's settings. If the product is not known in the NMVS (multi-country pack), an inter-market call is triggered. A single transaction is performed per pack towards the NMVS. The transactions are forwarded to the other, fulfilling NMVS through the EU Hub. Once all transactions are processed, the application collects the errors (if any) and sends a summary email about the errors to all administrators of the tenant and to the operator who performed the action. The details of each transaction are available under the Reports & Analysis application > FMD > Scans tab.

*The shipping is a 3PL activity on behalf of the supplier of the products.

**A manufacturer or a distributor ships items to the clients.
