Create dependency

You can create a shipping dependency between two or more order lines. A line dependency indicates whether order lines are shipped together, delivered together, or both.

You can only create one level of dependency through the user interface.

The order header field descriptions can be referred from the Inbound Order table.

Table 1. Create dependency screen, dependent order lines
Fields	Description
Parent	Select the order line to be identified as the parent line. All other lines in the dependency are dependent on this line. No shipment or delivery (depending on the dependency type) can be made for any of the dependent lines until the parent line is fulfilled according to its minimum fill quantity.
Line	The order line number.
Item ID	The item ID.
PC	The product class.
UOM	The order line item’s unit of measure.
Description	A description of the order line item.
Recv Node	The node the order line is received at.
Ship Node	The node the order line is shipped from.
Ship Date	The date the order line is shipped.
Line Qty	The quantity of the line item. Note: Entering 0 indicates a quantity of zero. Leaving this field blank indicates you want to ignore the line.
Amount	The cost of the order line.
Status	The order line status.

The dependency properties are specified in the following table:

Table 2. Create dependency screen, dependency properties
Fields	Description
Ship Together	Select ship together if you want all of the dependent order lines to be shipped at the same time as the parent order line.
Deliver Together	Select Deliver Together if you want all of the dependent order lines to be delivered at the same time as the parent order line.
Merge Node	If you have order lines coming from multiple nodes and want to consolidate them into one load, enter a node at which you want all of the dependent order lines to be consolidated with the parent order line. Note: Merge Node is only relevant in a Deliver Together dependency.

Once the details are entered select the Create Dependency button and you are returned to the Order Detail screen. The parent and child order line now have a dependency icon before the Line #.
