3. Post the journal lines to add the inventory.

## Sales order and Warehouse Shipment

In this demo script, a released sales order is used as source document for a Warehouse Shipment. Create this released sales order before using the WMS Shipment pre-configured process.

1. Go to the **Sales Order** page and create a new sales order with customer 01454545 New Concepts Furniture. Enter location AMBER in the **Shipping & Billing** fast tab.

2. Add the following items:

| Item No. | Quantity |
| --- | --- |
| FF-100 | 10 |
| 80216-T (as lot controlled item) | 8 |
| 80102-T (as a serial-controlled item) | 2 |
