      <Paragraph>In this function, you can create shipments and loads and
		initiate the actual shipment of goods. Depending on the complexity of the
		warehouse, this function is more or less extended. In very basic warehouse
		environments, no planning exists on the shipping of the goods. The individual
		shipments will be handed over to a carrier who takes care of the delivery. If
		the warehouse is more advanced, you might want to perform some load building
		already in-house. In this case, combine several shipments into one load and
		offer those to the carrier as one order.</Paragraph>

      <Paragraph>The basic shipping process only handles the essential steps to
		get the shipments out of the warehouse. No combination of shipments into loads
		is performed; the shipments are shipped on an individual basis. In addition, no
		shipping documents are printed here.</Paragraph>
