The users can manage the outbound orders under the Orders --> Outbound orders tab in the Serialized Logistics application.
An outbound order is a logical grouping of multiple deliveries. An order organizes the activities in the warehouse through the linked deliveries.
The outbound orders can be one of the following types:
- Internal orders (Stock Transfer Orders)*
- External orders (Purchase Orders)
*Not supported end-to-end
Parts of an order
An order consists of three parts as described in the table below:
Order part | Description |
---|---|
Settings | Collects the master data of the order:
Besides the settings, a status is also associated with the order. The order takes one of the following statuses:
|
Line items | Represents the products to be shipped. Each line item represents one product. For each line item, you specify the product data, the target quantity to be shipped with the unit of measurement, and optionally you can also provide sales parameters. Status is also associated with the line item:
|
Deliveries | The operator can execute the order under a delivery in the warehouse. Actually, when the operator executes an order, they scan for line items and they always complete the line items under a delivery. An order can have multiple deliveries at the same time.
The delivery has an ID, a status, a warehouse, and optionally a route. The delivery takes one of the following statuses:
|
Statuses and status transitions
An outbound external order can be executed in one of the following ways:
- By performing a group of actions in the mobile application (validating picking/packing to order/packing an order) and in the Admin UI (validating picking for a one-case delivery/releasing a validated picking).
- By shipping items in the mobile application.
Based on the type of execution, different statuses, and status transitions are applicable.
The following diagram illustrates the parts of an outbound external order and the status transitions when performing the following actions:
- Validating picking in the mobile application.
- Packing to an order (Packing - orders) in the mobile application.
- Packing an order in the mobile application.
- Validating picking for a one-case delivery in the Admin UI.
- Releasing a validated picking in the Admin UI.
The following diagram illustrates the parts of an outbound external order and the status transitions when shipping items in the mobile application:
IMPORTANT: To ship items in the mobile application, the order can contain one delivery only. When shipping in the mobile application, multiple deliveries are not supported.

Creating an Outbound Order
You can create an outbound order in one of the following ways:
- Through API.
- Through Admin UI.
- By sending an IDOC Delvry from SAP ICH to Movilitas.Cloud (SAP ICH channel is required).
- By uploading an IDOC Delvry on the SAP ICH channel (SAP ICH channel is required).
The following procedure describes how to create an outbound order in the Admin UI.
Procedure
1. In the Serialized Logistics application, select the Orders --> Outbound orders tab. The application displays the list of outbound orders and the Create new outbound order form.
Note: When viewing the details of an order, you can open the Create new outbound order form by clicking Add new +.
Example:
2. Fill in the form as described in the table below. The required fields are marked with an asterisk (*) in the form.
Field | Action |
---|---|
Order ID | Enter the order ID. Free-form text field. |
Order type | Select the order type:
|
Delivery ID | Enter the delivery ID. By default, the delivery ID is prefilled and it takes the order ID as the value. After saving the order, the Delivery ID field disappears and all the related data are displayed under the Deliveries tab. |
Client | For an outbound external order, select the client that receives the products of the order. The application displays a prefiltered list in the drop-down but you can search for a previously registered client by entering an expression in the search field. Only applicable to outbound external orders. |
Delivery address | After selecting the client for an outbound external order, select the delivery address for the client. You can select the client master data address or a delivery address (if any) from the drop-down. You can select from the addresses that were provided during client registration. |
Destination warehouse | For an outbound internal order, select the destination warehouse that receives the products of the order. The application offers the previously registered warehouses for selection. Only applicable to outbound internal orders. |
Order date | Select the date of order by using the datepicker. |
Expected shipping date | Select the expected shipping date by using the datepicker. |
Deadline | Selected the deadline by using the datepicker. |
Source warehouse | Select the sender warehouse After saving the order, the warehouse is linked to the delivery and the warehouse is displayed under the Deliveries tab. |
Operator | Select the operator that must execute the order. |
Allow unlimited overdelivery and underdelivery | If you want to allow an unlimited amount of delivery (shipment), keep this checkbox selected. When this checkbox is selected, the tolerance values will not be displayed (not applicable). The default setting is "Selected". After clearing the checkbox, an unlimited delivery is not allowed and the application displays the tolerance fields. IMPORTANT: The setting applies to all deliveries and line items of the order and cannot be changed once the order is in a status other than Open. |
Underdelivery tolerance [%] | Set the under-delivery tolerance. The operator in the warehouse must keep the target quantity with the tolerance defined here. For example, if you set 10%, the operator cannot ship less than 90% of the target quantity. The allowed value is 0 or a value that is greater than 0. For an order that is created in the Admin UI, the default value is 0. IMPORTANT: The tolerance value applies to all deliveries and line items of the order and cannot be changed once the order is in a status other than Open. |
Overdelivery tolerance [%] | Set the over-delivery tolerance. The operator in the warehouse must keep the target quantity with the tolerance defined here. For example, if you set 10%, the operator cannot ship more than 110% of the target quantity. The allowed value is 0 or a value that is greater than 0. For an order that is created in the Admin UI, the default value is 0. IMPORTANT: The tolerance value applies to all deliveries and line items of the order and cannot be changed once the order is in a status other than Open. |
Example:
3. Click Create.
- The order is created and added to the list.
- The order tabs become active.
- The Delivery ID field disappears and all the related data are displayed under the Deliveries tab.
4. To add line items to the order, select the Line items tab.
5. Click Add Line Item and fill in the form as described below. The required fields are marked with an asterisk (*) in the form.
Field | Description |
---|---|
Line item number | Enter the line item number. The application auto-fills the field and provides "1" for the first line item. When adding a new line item, the application automatically offers a new value. You can change the line item number based on your preference but two line items cannot have the same number. |
Product code schema | Select the product code schema.
|
Select product | Select a product code. The application displays a searchable drop-down with a prefiltered list of products. You can search for any product registered in the system by entering the product code or the product name in the search field. |
Batch | Specify a batch for the product code (if applicable). If you don't know the batch, you can leave the field empty. In this case, the application accepts any batch that is scanned for the product. You can select an existing batch or you can specify one inline. The application displays a searchable drop-down with a list of batches available for that product code in the system.
You can clear the field by clicking on the X button on the right side of the drop-down. |
Quantity | Enter the quantity to be shipped. A positive number is accepted only. |
Unit of measurement | Enter the unit of measurement of the quantity. Free-form text field. |
Sales quantity | Optionally, enter the sales quantity. A positive number is accepted only. |
Sales unit of measurement | Optionally, enter the unit of measurement of the sales quantity. Free-form text field. |
EXAMPLE 1
The following example illustrates the case when adding a line item without a batch for the selected product code:
EXAMPLE 2
The following example illustrates the case when the batch is specified inline while adding the line item:
6. Click Add in the Add line item window. The line item is added to the list.
The following example illustrates the case when the previously defined two line items are added to the order, one after the other. The first line item is expanded:
7. Add further line items as needed.
You can add multiple line items that have different or the same product data, there is no restriction. For example:
- You have two line items with the same product code and batch but with different sales parameters.
- You have line items with completely different product codes, batches, and other data.
Each line item added to the order is linked to the delivery also.
Next Steps
An operator can execute the outbound order in the warehouse.

Searching for and Viewing an Outbound Order
You select the order view and check the details.
Procedure
1. In the Serialized Logistics application, select the Orders --> Outbound orders tab. The application displays the list of outbound orders or deliveries, depending on the selected view.
2. To open the order view, select Order ID in the ID column field. The application displays the list of orders in the Outbound orders panel.
Note: The application remembers the selected view mode until the user logs out.
3. Enter the order ID in the search field, select the statuses, and/or select the order types.
- The list of the orders is filtered based on the search criteria.
- You can reset the filter by clicking Reset filters.
4. Select the order to view its details. The application displays the Update outbound order panel with the Settings tab.
- You can view the order master data such as order ID, order type, destination information, dates and deadlines, and the under-delivery/over-delivery settings.
- If the order is created by receiving an IDOC Delvry file from SAP ICH or by uploading an IDOC Delvry file on the SAP ICH channel, the Allow unlimited overdelivery and underdelivery checkbox is automatically cleared, meaning that an unlimited delivery is not allowed. The tolerance values are automatically set but they remain configurable for an order in Open status:
- The under-delivery tolerance value is 100%. This means under-delivery is allowed without restrictions.
- The over-delivery tolerance value is 0%. This means over-delivery is not allowed, the maximum quantity is the target quantity.
In the following example:
- We are filtering external orders that are in In shipping status and the search expression contains the order ID, "OUT2402271730".
- There is one search result that is selected.
- The Outbound orders panel shows the Order ID and Order status columns.
- The order master data (settings) are displayed as read-only.
5. Select the Line items tab to view the line items of the outbound order. You can expand a line item to view more details.
- Line item number (#)
- Product code
- Status
- Target quantity
- Unit of measurement
- Actions (Edit and Delete)
If unlimited over-delivery and under-delivery are allowed, the application explicitly indicates it. If the over-delivery and under-delivery are limited, the application displays the tolerance values.
The following example continues the previously selected order. The selected order has three line items.
6. Select the Deliveries tab to view the list of deliveries.
- You can view the status of each delivery.
- For each delivery, you can verify the warehouse where the delivery is executed.
- The deliveries can be executed in different warehouses by receiving IDOC Delvry files from SAP ICH.
- The IDOC Delvry specifies a warehouse site that points to a warehouse sublocation in the Serialized Logistics application. The application links the delivery to the warehouse while creating the delivery.
- As a prerequisite, you must register all sublocations of all warehouses under the Site management > Warehouses tab.
- If a route is specified for the delivery, you can verify the route name. Otherwise, the route name field is empty.
- It is only applicable when the delivery is created by receiving an IDOC Delvry file from SAP ICH.
- The IDOC Delvry specifies the route, and the application links the delivery to the route while creating the delivery.
- As a prerequisite, you must register all the routes under the Site management > Routes tab.
- You can view the line items belonging to each delivery with the actual status.
- For each delivery, you can verify the expected versus the shipped quantity per line item.
- After selecting (clicking) a delivery, the application shows a snapshot of the picked case SSCCs, pallet SSCCs, and users (operators) for that delivery in a paginated view (5 items per page) in a pop-up (top to bottom hierarchy view).
- After selecting (clicking) a line item of a delivery, the application shows a snapshot of the included labels (trade items) with parents for that line item in a paginated view (10 items per page) in a pop-up (bottom to top hierarchy view).
The following example continues the previously selected order:
- The order contains five deliveries. The order is a logical grouping of the deliveries.
- The users are working on multiple deliveries in two warehouses in parallel for the same order.
- Each delivery is linked to a route so the deliveries were created by receiving IDOC Delvry files from SAP ICH.
- The fourth delivery, DEL24022704, is expanded.
- The delivery is validated and ready for shipping.
- The expected quantities versus the quantities to be shipped match.
After clicking on the delivery row (DEL24022704) in the above example, the application displays a pop-up that shows the picked SSCCs, pallet SSCCs, and users for that delivery in a tab view:
Displayed Information | Example |
---|---|
Picked SSCCs with their status and the underlying hierarchy The picked case SSCCs come from the Validate Picking mobile action. Each case SSCC can be expanded. If the underlying child trade items are aggregated, the items can be further expanded. | |
Pallet SSCCs with underlying hierarchy The pallet SSCCs come from the Pack an order and Packing - orders (Pack to order) mobile actions. Note: Pallets can also be created in the Packing - items mobile action, but those pallets are added to the delivery in the Pack an order mobile action. Each pallet SSCC can be expanded to see the child containers and trade items:
| |
Users The Users tab shows the operators working on the delivery with their names and email address. |
After clicking on the first line item ("Cialis") in the above example, the application displays a pop-up that shows the details of the trade items:
- Where the quantity is greater than 1, the trade item contains child trade items.
- For parent trade items, the product code is different from the product code of the line item. The difference is the first and the last digit of the product code. The included child trade items have the product code of the line item.
- There are individual trade items where the product code matches the product code of the line item.
- The trade items are aggregated into containers. Several containers are also aggregated (multi-level containers).
- After expanding the first item, the application shows the hierarchy of the parent containers (Parent SSCCs).
7. Select the History tab to view the status changes of the order.

Updating an Outbound Order
If the order is in Open status, you can update the order settings (master data) and the line items. You can add line items, edit line items, and delete line items at the order level. If a single delivery is linked to the order, the changes on the line items (add/edit/delete) at the order level apply to the delivery.
Once the order is in In shipping or Paused shipping status, you cannot edit the master data (settings) of an order and the line item management is limited. We do not recommend changing the line item settings of an ongoing order.
When updating an outbound order, avoid any change that is not in line with the data in an external system. Especially, when the order was created through API or by sending an IDOC Delvry from SAP ICH.
Procedure
1. In the Serialized Logistics application, select the Orders --> Outbound orders tab. The application displays the list of outbound orders or deliveries, depending on the selected view.
2. Find and select the order you want to update. The application displays the Update outbound order panel with the Settings tab.

Validating Picking for a One-Case Delivery
You can validate a one-case delivery in the Admin UI when the following conditions are met:
- The delivery is in In picking validation status.
- Its single case (SSCC) was validated during the Validate picking action in the mobile application.
- The scanned quantity does not meet the expected quantity.
Procedure
1. In the Serialized Logistics application, select the Orders --> Outbound orders tab. The application displays the list of outbound orders or deliveries, depending on the selected view.
2. In delivery view mode, find the delivery you want to validate. For the potential deliveries in In picking validation status, the application displays a checkmark icon (Validate button) in the Action column.
3. Review the order settings, the line items of the order, the delivery details, and the order history.
The following example illustrates a one-case delivery, "MULTIDEL070603", in In picking validation status.
- All items are scanned into one picked case SSCC that is validated. The checkmark icon (Validate picking) is visible in the Action column.
- The delivery belongs to an order that contains five deliveries. The selected delivery is the third one in the list and it is expanded.
- The delivery contains two line items. For each line item, the expected quantity is 12 while the scanned quantity is 6 waiting for validation.
After selecting the delivery, the application displays a pop-up about the picked SSCCs, pallet SSCCs, and users in a tab view.
- One picked case SSCC contains all the items. The SSCC is expanded to show the underlying hierarchy.
- It is a one-case delivery because there is no pallet SSCC.
- One user is linked to the delivery.
4. Click on the checkmark icon (Validate picking) in the Action column.
5. Confirm the action by clicking Yes in the pop-up.
If there is under-delivery below the tolerance value, the application displays an error message:
- You can reverse the validation status of the picked case SSCC and address the under-delivery. For more information, see Reversing the Validation Status of a Picked Case SSCC.
- Over-delivery is already checked in the Validate Picking mobile action that precedes this procedure.
- By default, over-delivery is not allowed while it is possible to include less than the expected quantity or do not include anything for a line item (product). However, custom delivery limits may apply as set by a user in the Admin UI for the parent outbound order.
If the delivery totals are within the tolerance range, the delivery goes to Picking validated status and the application shows the truck icon (Ship delivery) in the Action column.
Next Steps
Release (Ship) the delivery.
Back to the list of procedures
Releasing (Shipping) a Delivery
If the delivery is in Picking validated status, the delivery is ready for shipping. You can review the delivery in the Admin UI and ship it.
The delivery is in Picking validated status due to one of the following reasons:
- The delivery is a one-case delivery and its case is validated during the Validate picking action in the mobile application because the scanned quantity meets the expected quantity.
- The delivery is a one-case delivery that is validated by a user in the Admin UI because the scanned quantity does not meet the expected quantity. As a prerequisite, the case is validated during the Validate picking action in the mobile application.
- The delivery is a multi-case delivery without pallets that was validated by the user in the Pack an order action in the mobile application.
- The delivery is a pallet delivery that was constructed and validated by the user in the Pack an order action in the mobile application.
Note: Shipping a delivery is possible in the mobile application but this action is another execution route and not part of the description below.
Procedure
1. In the Serialized Logistics application, select the Orders --> Outbound orders tab. The application displays the list of outbound orders or deliveries, depending on the selected view.
2. In delivery view mode, find the delivery you want to ship. The delivery must be in Picking validated status.
3. Verify the color of the delivery in the delivery list on the right.
- If the selected delivery is highlighted in green on the right, the expected quantities and the quantities to be shipped match.
- If the selected delivery is highlighted in red on the right, the delivery needs attention. There is a quantity mismatch. The expected quantity does not match the quantity to be shipped for one or more line items.
The following example illustrates delivery "MULTIDEL070602" in Picking validated status:
- The delivery belongs to an order that contains five deliveries.
- The selected delivery is the second one in the list and it is highlighted in green which means the expected quantities and the quantities to be shipped match.
The following example illustrates delivery "DEL24021302" in Picking validated status:
- The delivery belongs to an order that contains four deliveries.
- The selected delivery is the second one in the list and it is highlighted in red which means there is a quantity mismatch. The delivery needs attention.
- Note: The same is true for the third delivery, but only the second delivery is elaborated in this description and the same approach applies to all other deliveries that are highlighted in red.
4. View the details of the delivery:
- Expand the delivery to see the quantities.
- Select the delivery to view the picked case SSCCs, pallet SSCCs, and users.
The following example illustrates the scenario when the previous delivery (DEL24021302) is expanded. There is under-delivery for both line items of the delivery.
After selecting the delivery, the application displays a pop-up about the picked SSCCs, pallet SSCCs, and users in a tab view.
- There are two picked case SSCCs for the delivery. The first SSCC is expanded to show the underlying hierarchy.
- It is a multi-case delivery because there are no pallet SSCCs.
- Two users are linked to the delivery.
5. Confirm that the delivery data are correct.
- If no, you can reverse the validation status of the delivery or reverse all activities on the delivery, depending on the criticality of the problem. For more information, see Reversing the Validation Status of a Delivery and Reversing All the Activities of a Delivery, respectively.
- If yes, continue with the next step.
6. Before shipping, confirm that there is no empty container (SSCC) in the delivery.
It also applies to deliveries that are highlighted in green. The application displays the delete icon next to empty containers (SSCCs). For more information, see Removing Empty Containers (SSCCs) from a Delivery.
7. Click on the truck icon (Ship delivery) in the Action column.
Example:
8. Confirm the action by clicking Yes in the pop-up.
The application processes the shipping, so the delivery goes to Processing shipping status:
Once the processing is completed, the delivery goes to Shipped status.
An EPCIS file is generated and sent to SAP ICH as a DSCSA shipping event in case of the following conditions are met:
- An SAP ICH channel is configured for the tenant.
- The client is located in the United States.
- The supplier of the shipped products is registered and the SAP ICH channel is associated with this supplier.
- The tenant acts as a 3PL for the supplier.
If an issue occurs during the processing, the application displays an error message and the delivery goes back to Picking validated status. Once the error is identified and resolved, you can retry the shipping.
Back to the list of procedures
Removing Empty Containers (SSCCs) from a Delivery
Sometimes operators in the warehouse can scan containers (SSCCs) and then realize that they scanned the wrong one without removing that container from the delivery. This causes issues during shipping because empty containers cannot be shipped. An authorized user can remove the empty and unnecessary containers from the delivery.
If the empty container is a picked case SSCC that is put on a pallet SSCC, it is not possible to remove the empty picked case SSCC from the delivery. To resolve the issue, the user has to remove the empty picked case SSCC from the pallet SSCC in the Pack an order mobile action while the delivery is in In picking validation status, and then retry the procedure below.
Procedure
1. In the Serialized Logistics application, select the Orders --> Outbound orders tab. The application displays the list of outbound orders or deliveries, depending on the selected view.
2. In delivery view mode, find the delivery where you want to check empty containers. The delivery is in In picking validation or Picking validated status.
3. In the Update outbound order panel, select the delivery under the Deliveries tab to view the picked case SSCCs and pallet SSCCs.
The following example illustrates a scenario when selecting the last delivery from the list (DEL24021304) on the right panel.
The application shows the picked case SSCCs, pallet SSCCs, and users for that delivery in a tab view in a pop-up. The application indicates empty SSCCs by showing the delete icon next to the SSCC.
- Example of empty picked case SSCCs - The last two in the list:
- Example of an empty pallet SSCC - The last one in the list:
4. Find the SSCC that you want to delete.
5. Click on the delete icon next to the SSCC.
The following example illustrates the scenario when removing an empty picked case SSCC from the delivery. The case SSCC is validated:
The following example illustrates the scenario when removing an empty pallet from the delivery:

Reversing All the Activities of a Delivery
An authorized user can reverse all the activities of a delivery and move back the delivery to Open status. The function is available while the delivery is in In picking validation or Picking validated status.
IMPORTANT: The reverse action withdraws all activities on the delivery, so all activities performed on the delivery will be lost. Use the function carefully.
Procedure
1. In the Serialized Logistics application, select the Orders --> Outbound orders tab. The application displays the list of outbound orders or deliveries, depending on the selected view.
2. In delivery view mode, find the delivery where you want to reverse all the activities. The delivery must be in In picking validation or Picking validated status.

3. View the details of the delivery to make sure you are going to reverse all the activities of the right delivery:
- Expand the delivery to see the quantities.
- Select the delivery to view the picked case SSCCs, pallet SSCCs, and users.
The following example illustrates the scenario when the previous delivery (DEL23092701) is expanded that is a pallet delivery:
- There are quantity mismatches for two line items (unlimited delivery is allowed for the parent outbound order).
- For one of the line items (Castor Oil), nothing is scanned.
After selecting the delivery, the application displays a pop-up about the picked SSCCs, pallet SSCCs, and users in a tab view.
- There are three picked case SSCCs for the delivery. The first SSCC is expanded to show the underlying hierarchy.

You can decide to reverse the validation status of the delivery only; in that case, the activities on the delivery are not lost but can be corrected.
Example:
5. Confirm the action by clicking Yes in the pop-up.
- The reversed delivery goes back to Open status. The delivery can be executed later or can be deleted.
- The picked quantity is reset to 0.
- The previously assigned items are detached from the delivery and are in stock again. They can be reused for this delivery or another delivery.
- All containers (SSCCs) that were printed and used for aggregation in Movilitas.Cloud are cleared (no hierarchy below) but the containers remain in Commissioned status in the system. They can be reused for this delivery or another delivery.
- Homogeneous (full) pallets added to the delivery through the Packing - orders (Pack to order) mobile action are untouched, however, they are detached from the delivery. They can be reused for this delivery or another delivery.
Next Steps
