When you are adding a new step to a Route Status List, there are a number of status types available as part of the Clever Shipment Management application.
When creating the Route Status List the following options will be available to select from.
Status
|
Function

Title Only
|
Creates a status with no system actions to perform. This can be useful if you want to insert a manual process in the status list. The description can be renamed as required.
|
Create Shipments
|
Creates Warehouse Shipments to fulfil the requirements of the shipment management route.
|
Create Consolidated Shipments
|
Creates consolidated Warehouse Shipments to fulfil the requirements of the shipment management route. A consolidated shipment will create one warehouse shipment for all items on the route. This option can be useful if you want to pick and load a vehicle in a specific order depending on the drop sequence.
|
Post Shipments
|
Posts Warehouse Shipments created for the route in the Create Receipts status. This step will be automatically processed if the last Warehouse Shipment relating to the route is posted either using the warehouse document or Clever WMS Devices.
|
Delete Unfulfilled Shipments
|
Deletes any warehouse shipments that could not be fulfilled either in part or fully. This scenario may arise if you have insufficient stock or there is an issue picking the stock. Items that are unfulfilled will remain on back-order on the source document.
|
Create Receipts
|
Creates Warehouse Receipts to fulfil the requirements of the shipment management route.
|
Post Receipts

Reserve Inventory
|
Reserves inventory on outbound documents that relate to the shipment management route. This is useful if there is a delay between planning the route and creating the warehouse documents and you want to ensure the stock is available to fulfil the requirements of the route. This status may not be required if you are only adding source document to a route once they are reserved.
|
Print Documentation
|
Prints documents specified in the report selections of the status line, such as a picking note or shipment note. As the documents are set against individual status sets, you can specify different documents based on the combination of Location Code, Shipping Agent and Shipping Agent Service.

|
Create Production Orders
|
Creates Production Orders for items on the route that have a Replenishment System of Production Order and a Manufacturing Policy of Make-to-Order. If using a make-to-order scenario this status must be used in conjunction with the Finish Production Orders Status and utilised before creating picks.
|
Finish Production Orders
|
Sets the status of any Production Orders created using the Create Production Orders status in a make-to-order scenario to Finished. Output and consumption of the production order should be completed prior to the status. This step will be automatically processed if the last production order relating to the route is finished by changing the production order status
