PBI 205717 - Return Registration from Route planning worksheet

What

Return entry from Route planning request line.

Why

Logistics is planned and managed from the route planning worksheet. Registering returned items (empties) is part of the logistics tasks, therefor it has been enabled directly from the route request lines.

How

Select an order or return order in the Route Request lines and click on the Return Entry action (works for sales- and purchase orders and return orders). Register the returned quantities, close the page and confirm to apply. When you open the source document you can see that the lines were added to the document (with reversed sign in case of an order). In case the sales- or purchase order was checked with Return Entry to Return order (default from bill-to customer resp. Pay-to vendor) a linked return order is created automatically and the returned items were added to that.

PBI 215035 - Dock Shipment/Receipt Bin should be updated in warehouse shipment/receipt header when changed manually, or from Route Planning Worksheet

What
