Step-by-step in Forge MES
- Open Shipment Verification and select an existing Shipment; Container Type, counts, container rows, and Export remain unavailable until the required Shipment is selected.
- Confirm an active Shipment Rule includes the selected container configuration and permits its container-count and maximum-weight limits.
- Confirm the Shipping Gate has positive remaining approved Purchase Order quantity.
- Use a client- or product-scoped ASN template for the Excel export, and confirm that the required template exists in the target environment.
Rules to remember
- Shipment selection is mandatory before Container Type or verification data becomes available.
- The governing Shipment Rule and a positive Shipping Gate balance are prerequisites.
- ASN output is client- or product-scoped when a template is configured.
Configure for the client
- Match packaging hierarchy, label templates, container rules, shipment gates, ASN needs, and genealogy retention to the client's logistics and compliance requirements.
- Validate the configured behaviour with approved test data in the target environment before production use.
Ready when
- A valid Shipment exists and can be selected.
- The active rule covers the container configuration, count, and weight.
- Shipping Gate balance is positive and the required ASN template exists.
