Shipments

General

The shipment is used to consolidate several customer orders into one shipment number.

The shipment can be confirmed with a shipment booking to the booking destination ‘Shipment consolidation’. The customer order status ‘Ready for dispatch’ is assigned with the shipment confirmation to the booking destination.

The Shipment number field in the sales order header is used to assign a shipment. For joint loading of the consignment, the sales order ‘Tour no.’ should be maintained with the identical number of the consignment.
