Hi Sudheep,
Shipment document
The shipping document is the central element of transportation planning and shipment completion. It contains all the
information necessary for carrying out transportation.
You create shipment documents using a worklist. Different types of shipment documents have been defined to enable you to reflect in the system the various forms of transportation used in your organization.
For example, you use the individual shipment document to plan and process the transportation of goods from one location to another. You use the collective shipment to move goods from one or more points of departure to one or more destinations. Separate document types deal with inbound and outbound shipments.
You can use shipment documents to:
Combine deliveries into one inbound or outbound shipment
Specify shipment stages
o Legs
o border crossing points
o load transfer points
Assign goods to handling units
Assign service agents
Specify planned transportation deadlines
Record actual transportation deadlines
Specify output required for transportation (such as shipping papers or EDI messages)
Define transport-relevant texts
