      <Paragraph>This function supports the structured execution of a (shipping)
		Bill of Material within the warehouse outbound procedure. After a Shipkit
		structure (topkit-, subkit- and component-level) has been defined through a BOM
		structure and incorporated in a Sales Order and lines, this shipkit structure
		can be released to Warehouse Management. This results in the creation of a
		warehouse order per sales order (topkit level) and different set-numbers per
		sales order line (subkit level); the underlying components are stored on the
		warehouse order lines. The aim of creating a specific shipkit structure is to
		enable warehouse personnel to pick, pack and ship items as kit structures to
		make sure that the receiving party, responsible for assembly, gets the ‘
		instructions’ needed for actually building the kit.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>As already indicated, from a warehouse management perspective,
		the objective of this process is to carry out the outbound procedure in
		accordance with the shipkit structure dictated. In other words, the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">existing</GUIRef> outbound advice – picking – packing – shipping
		structure is based on the ship kit structure.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>The ship kit process within Warehouse Management is triggered by
		setting specific flags in the Warehouse Order Type used, but goes through the
		standard outbound business processes.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>For shipping purposes, ‘Shipping Container’ functionality has
		been made available; this sub process has been included in the ‘Pack Goods’
		process ( <Link href="/baanerp/tg/ebm/ff/ff001490" role="manual">Function: Packing</Link>).</Paragraph>
