Shipment¶
In Tryton the concept of a Shipment is used to help organise and manage groups of related Stock Moves. There are different types of shipment which are used for different purposes. Some of these types of shipment may also be split up into stages. In each stage stock is moved to or from an intermediate Location. Each stage’s moves form a subset of the shipment’s total moves.
Supplier Shipment¶
A Supplier Shipment has a set of properties that hold details about the shipment such as who the supplier is, what Warehouse it is going to and the date when the shipment is expected to be delivered.
It is made up from two sets of Stock Moves:
Incoming moves, these are used to move stock between a supplier Location and the warehouse’s input location, and
Inventory moves, these then put the stock away in the warehouse’s storage location, or one of its child locations.
Note
If the warehouse’s input location and storage location are the same then the inventory moves are not created.
Reports¶
Restocking List¶
The Restocking List report lists the items on an incoming shipment and the destination locations for the stock based on the inventory moves.
Supplier Return Shipment¶
A Supplier Return Shipment has a set of properties that contain information about the shipment such as who the supplier was, what Address the shipment is going to, and the date the shipment is sent.
It is made up from a single set of Stock Moves that return the stock directly back to a supplier Location.
Customer Shipment¶
A Customer Shipment has a set of properties that contain information about the shipment such as which Warehouse it is being sent from, what Address it is being delivered to, and the date it is being sent.
A customer shipment is made up from two sets of Stock Moves:
Inventory moves, these moves are used to pick the stock from the warehouse’s storage Location and put it in the output location, and
Outgoing moves, these then take the picked stock and send it to a customer location. The outgoing moves are created first and define what stock needs to be sent to the customer.
Note
If the warehouse’s picking location (or storage location if no picking location is defined) is the same as its output location then only outgoing moves are created and these moves do not get Assigned.
Reports¶
Picking List¶
The Picking List report lists the stock that is needed for a shipment. For each item on the shipment it details the location the stock should be taken from, and how much should be taken.
Delivery Note¶
The Delivery Note report contains information about where the shipment is being sent, and when the delivery is happening. It also lists all the items on the shipment.
Customer Return Shipment¶
A Customer Return Shipment has properties that contain information about which customer the stock is being returned from, which Warehouse it is sent to and the date the return is happening.
It is made up from two sets of Stock Moves:
Incoming moves, these are used to move stock between a customer Location and the warehouse’s input location, and
Inventory moves, these then put the stock away in the warehouse’s storage location, or one of its child locations.
Note
If the warehouse’s input location and storage location are the same then the inventory moves are not created.
Reports¶
Customer Return Restocking List¶
The Customer Return Restocking List report lists the items that were returned by a customer. For each item a destination location for the stock is also included based on the inventory moves.
Internal Shipment¶
An internal shipment allows a group of Stock Moves, between locations within the same Company, to be managed as a single entity.
For internal shipments that are planned to start and end on different dates it is made up from two sets of moves. The first set are outgoing moves that put the stock in a transit Location and the second set are incoming moves that take the stock from the transit location and place it in the destination location.
Reports¶
Internal Shipment Report¶
The Internal Shipment Report provides a list of the items on the internal shipment along with their quantities. For shipments between Warehouses it also contains the Address of the warehouse the stock is being sent to.
Wizards¶
Assign Shipment¶
The Assign Shipment wizard is used to assign a shipment. Assigning a shipment tries to Assign the Stock Moves that take the stock for the shipment. If not all the stock moves can be assigned then it provides the user with a set of options of what to do next.
