Cloudy Business Ops 3600 Knowledge Bases

Outbound Shipment Line Item

The Outbound Shipment Line Item object in Cloudy Business Ops 360 represents each specific item, quantity, and allocation included in an Outbound Shipment. While the Outbound Shipment object serves as the overall record of the shipment (date, logistics provider, tracking number), the line item records exactly what is being shipped — which product, which variant, from which allocation, and in what quantity.

This ensures precise order fulfillment tracking and inventory control.

Use in Cloudy Business Ops 360

• Warehouse Operations: Guides picking, packing, and shipping activities.

Business Process Example

Suppose a customer orders 20 chairs.

• The Outbound Shipment is created with date, logistics provider, and tracking number.
  
• Outbound Shipment Line Items are created:
  
  • Line Item 1: Chair, Quantity = 10, Expected Delivery = 10th Sept
    
  • Line Item 2: Chair, Quantity = 10, Expected Delivery = 15th Sept (second batch)

This setup allows partial fulfillment and keeps track of what has shipped and what is still pending.
