| # Shipments Shipment is a document of the goods that must be transported to a specific address on a specific date and time by using a specific route. Shipments and loads A load consists of one or more shipments, and a shipment has one or more shipment lines. Loads, shipments, and shipment lines are generated by Lagerwirtschaft or by Fracht. During the outbound procedure, Lagerwirtschaft generates loads and shipments for outbound order lines with status Staged, unless an actual Freight load plan is present. You can also manually create loads and shipments to adjust or replace generated loads and shipments. Delivery notes A delivery note is a transport document that provides information on a consignment contained in one truck or other vehicle and refers to an order or a set of orders for one consignee at a delivery address. It is one of the shipping documents that can be part of a shipment procedure. You can control the usage of delivery notes by using various parameters. Advance Shipment Notice (ASN) Advance shipment notice is a notification that a shipment has been sent. Advanced shipment notices are sent and received through Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). You can receive advance shipment notices from your supplier informing you that goods are to arrive at your warehouse, or you can send advance shipment notices to your customers that their ordered goods are about to be delivered. Manual shipments In addition to generating shipments for warehousing orders, LN enables you to manually create shipments and shipment lines. Manual shipments are used to ship goods without performing LN warehousing procedures and related financial transactions. You can use manual shipment and shipment lines to register goods transports for items not registered in LN, and/or goods transports for which no warehouse orders exist. For manually created shipments, you can print delivery notes. Versand Outbound management handles activities to get stored goods out of the warehouse that includes outbound and the shipment procedure. This procedure describes all steps, also called activities, of the shipment procedure and shows how you can perform these steps. The shipment procedure comprises the activities that you must perform in LN to ship goods that were issued from the warehouse by means of the outbound procedure. Shipping Sequence You can view the shipping sequence for the selected shipment, if shipping sequence exists. For partial deliveries, the shipment number of the subsequent shipment overwrites the shipment number of the preceding shipments in the Shipping Sequence (whinh4520m000) session.
