	<GeneralSection><SectionTitle>Shipment procedure</SectionTitle>
		<Paragraph>In the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/inh/whinh4275m000" role="session">Freeze/Confirm Shipments/Loads (whinh4275m000)</GUIRef> session, you can both freeze and confirm shipment lines, shipments, and loads. If the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/domains/inh.freeconf#freeze" role="enum">Freeze Shipments/Loads</GUIRef> activity is performed automatically in the shipment procedure, shipments and loads are automatically confirmed. In that case, you cannot freeze shipment lines, shipments, or loads.</Paragraph>

	<Note><SectionTitle>Note</SectionTitle>
		<Paragraph>If the shipment documents must be printed automatically, printing is started as soon as the status of the shipment or load changes from <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/domains/inh.shst#open" role="enum">Open</GUIRef> to <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/domains/inh.shst#frozen" role="enum">Frozen</GUIRef> or <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/domains/inh.shst#confirmed" role="enum">Confirmed</GUIRef>.</Paragraph>

	<GeneralSection><SectionTitle>How the status is determined</SectionTitle>
		<List><ListIntro>The shipment's status is determined as follows:</ListIntro>
			<ListItem>If at least one of the shipment lines has the status <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/domains/inh.shst#open" role="enum">Open</GUIRef>, the shipment's status is <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/domains/inh.shst#open" role="enum">Open</GUIRef>.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>If at least one of the shipment lines has the status <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/domains/inh.shst#frozen" role="enum">Frozen</GUIRef> and none of the shipment lines has status <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/domains/inh.shst#open" role="enum">Open</GUIRef>, the shipment's status is <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/domains/inh.shst#frozen" role="enum">Frozen</GUIRef>.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>If all shipment lines have the status <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/domains/inh.shst#confirmed" role="enum">Confirmed</GUIRef>, the shipment's status is <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/domains/inh.shst#confirmed" role="enum">Confirmed</GUIRef>.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>If a shipment line is reopened, the shipment's status also changes to <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/domains/inh.shst#open" role="enum">Open</GUIRef>.</ListItem>
		</List>
		<List><ListIntro>The load's status is by default determined as follows:</ListIntro>
			<ListItem>If at least one of the shipments linked to the load has the status <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/domains/inh.shst#open" role="enum">Open</GUIRef>, the load's status is <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/domains/inh.shst#open" role="enum">Open</GUIRef>.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>If at least one of the shipments linked to the load has the status <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/domains/inh.shst#frozen" role="enum">Frozen</GUIRef> and none of the shipment lines has status <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/domains/inh.shst#open" role="enum">Open</GUIRef>, the load's status is <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/domains/inh.shst#frozen" role="enum">Frozen</GUIRef>.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>If all shipments linked to the load have the status <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/domains/inh.shst#confirmed" role="enum">Confirmed</GUIRef>, the load's status is <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/domains/inh.shst#confirmed" role="enum">Confirmed</GUIRef>.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>If a shipment line of a shipment that is linked to the load is reopened, the load's status also changes to <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/domains/inh.shst#open" role="enum">Open</GUIRef>.</ListItem>

	<GeneralSection><SectionTitle><GUIRef>Reopen</GUIRef></SectionTitle>
		<Paragraph>If changes are required for any frozen shipment lines, shipments, or loads, you must reopen these shipment lines, shipments, or loads to be able to make these changes. You can only reopen shipment lines that have the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/domains/inh.shst#frozen" role="enum">Frozen</GUIRef> status. To reopen shipment lines, use the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Reopen</GUIRef> command on the <GUIRef href="" role="menu">Specific</GUIRef> menu of the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/inh/whinh4131m000" role="session">Shipment Lines (whinh4131m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>When you reopen a shipment line, the related shipment and load are also reopened. The shipment documents must be printed again, after the final changes to the shipments have been made. The status of the handling units of the shipment and shipment line are changed from <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/domains/hust#shipment.frozen" role="enum">Shipment Frozen</GUIRef> to <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/domains/hust#shipment.open" role="enum">Shipment Open</GUIRef>. If you again freeze a shipment line or shipment and a handling unit already exists for the shipment or shipment line, the handling unit is regenerated automatically.</Paragraph>
