Warehouse Shipment
A warehouse shipment groups all delivery lines that are to be loaded onto a vehicle within the same time frame. It represents a loading project: one warehouse shipment can include multiple loading operations and may contain lines with different delivery addresses (controlled via the Unloading Point field). All lines are nonetheless loaded onto the same vehicle.
The warehouse shipment is structured in three levels:
- Shipment level the overarching header of the loading project
- Order level individual source documents (e.g. sales orders)
- Item quantity level the specific delivery lines per item
The worst status from a lower level is always aggregated upward and displayed at the shipment header.
A warehouse shipment serves to plan, control, and monitor warehouse operations. It keeps all outstanding delivery quantities together, enables time-based planning of deliveries and back-orders, and forms the basis for freight planning, picking tasks, and shipping documentation.
How to create and process a warehouse shipment is described in the process area.
