Concept: Shipping Inventory

Workday enables you to automate, manage, and track the shipping process for Inventory. You can ship items that you pick for a stock request. Workday automatically ships a complete picking list when you include a Service step in the Inventory Pick List Event
business process.

When shipping inventory, you:

Must fully ship the picked quantities.

Can modify the picking list to resolve any discrepancies.

Can partially ship a stock request.

Can't reopen a closed shipment.

When the shipping process completes, Workday automatically:

Initiates the Inventory Shipment Event
business process.

Updates the shipment to Closed
status.

Updates the picking list to Closed
status.

Updates the stock request to Closed
status if the order is fully shipped. Otherwise it remains in In Fulfillment
status.

Marks the order and lines for transfer stock requests as In Transit
until you transfer the shipment to the destination location.
