Inbounding a New Item into LYB – Workflow Overview

Step-by-Step Workflow

https://www.loom.com/share/71a3475516bf4bcc8f6fc1f9a4cf07b1

1. Create a New Item

• Begin by creating a test item (or production SKU) via the interface.
  
  
• Example:
  
  
  • Item name: New Test
    
    
  • Product code: new-pc
    
    

⚠️ Note: Carton configuration is required to inbound any item.

2. Define Carton Configuration

• Input necessary carton data:
  
  
  • Units per carton: 11
    
    
  • Carton dimensions: 20” x 20” x 14”
    
    
  • Weight: 10 lbs
    
    

This configuration is essential for both inbounding and label generation.

3. Create an Inbound Shipment

• Go to the shipment creation flow and initiate a new inbound transfer:
  
  
  • Example name: Port of LA
    
    
  • Destination: LYB Sandbox
    
    
  • Shipment type: Small Parcel
    
    
• Fill in required shipment details to proceed.
  
  

4. Trigger Status Check

• After submitting the shipment, the system will attempt to pull status updates from LYB.
  
  
• Status checks occur automatically every hour during business hours, but can also be triggered manually for testing.
  
  

For testing, the debug mode may simulate a "Received in Full" status for faster iteration.

5. Verify Completion

• Once the inbound is marked as received, the shipment status updates to Completed.
  
  
• The item’s inventory is updated accordingly.
  
  

Example: Inventory now shows 33 units for the item.

 Next Steps

With the item successfully inbounded and inventory confirmed, you can proceed to:

• Create outbound shipments
  
  
• Generate shipping labels
  
  
• Monitor inventory in real-time
  
  

📝 Notes

• Ensure carton data is always configured before initiating an inbound.
  
  
• The status polling interval is adjustable but defaults to once per hour.
  
  
• Use manual triggering for testing or when debugging during development.
