GOODS RECEIVED GOODS PUTAWAY (ASN or Transfer Order only) | These scenarios are extremely unlikely and will probably be a client error. It should be flagged with an error message / alert condition, for the SEKO operator to call up the client and ask what is going on. |
Transport Task
See https://bigdigit.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SMH/pages/3251601441/Standard+Tasks+within+a+Workflow#Transport. The following table shows the ideal processing that would need to occur depending on the possible statuses of this task when any booking is Cancelled or Amended but it has a workflow which includes any Transport task:

PICK PACK NOTIFICATION SENT (to Carrier) | We need to re-think Pick/Pack Notifications in the context of Carrier Instructions which contain multiple consolidated goods from multiple Sales Orders | |
GOODS RELEASED | These scenarios are extremely unlikely and will probably be a client error. It should be flagged with an error message / alert condition, for the SEKO operator to call up the client and ask what is going on. In most situations these goods would have to still arrive at the FMF and then get moved somewhere else via another TO from ROOM, unless there's another SO that ROOM has prioritised higher which happens to also require the same FMF, in which case it would need an amended White Glove Partner instruction. |
White Glove Partner Instruction
...
If the booking is not yet in SALES ORDER SENT status (the equivalent of WAREHOUSE INSTRUCTED above); the operator needs a button to "Cancel" it which puts it into a CANCELLED state, at which point it can then be flagged as 'closed' without any further actions
If the booking is already in SALES ORDER SENT; operator will need to speak to the warehouse to see if it's been Picked/ Packed already (if not obvious) - or indeed already released to the carrier!
If not already picked/packed, then we use the "Cancel" button as above. But because this is in SALES ORDER SENT status, the back end would additionally need to send a Sales Order Cancel WMS API call to the warehouse.
If already picked/packed, then we'd need something in the front end to allow this fact to be confirmed by the SEKO Operator. Maybe a button to transition it from SALES ORDER SENT to PICKED/PACKED status. Then if cancellation occurs, the operator would click the "Cancel" button as above. But because this is now in PICKED/PACKED status, the back end would need to send a Hold stock API message to the WMS and then a Cancellation message.
If already released to the carrier, then we'd need something in the front end to allow this fact to be confirmed by the SEKO Operator. Maybe a button to transition it from PICKED/PACKED to RELEASED status. Then if cancellation occurs, the operator would click the "Cancel" button as above. But because this is now in RELEASED status, there would be no messages sent to the WMS at all. It would now merely be in CANCELLED state and the SEKO operators would have to manually untangle stuff outside the system.
If ROOM calls up to amend a Sales Order, then we may need to introduce the concept of making bookings editable in the front end. Alternatively we support API amendments early on, and detect when amendments occur, and process things differently as above depending what status the booking is currently in.
