If delivery line details are not required and all deliveries within the departure are able to be closed, you can ship part or all of the departure from the departure level. If delivery line details are required, you must define the required details for the items on the Delivery Lines window (via the Ship Confirm Delivery window). See: Defining Delivery Line Details and Confirming a Delivery

When you close a departure, Order Entry/Shipping automatically sends an Advanced Shipping Notice (ASN) for each delivery within the Departure.

If the Process Inventory Online check box is checked, the Update Shipping Information and Inventory Interface concurrent programs are automatically run when you ship a delivery. If the Process Inventory Online check box is not checked, you must run the Update Shipping Information and Inventory Interface concurrent programs via the concurrent manager. See: Update Shipping Information and Inventory Interface

If you try to ship a departure containing a delivery in which all delivery line items are not packed and the Enforce Packing check box on the Departure Status window is checked, a warning message displays stating that packed quantities and shipped quantities must match. If this check box is not checked, you can ship the delivery without packing delivery line items (without receiving the warning that items are not packed). The Enforce Packing in Containers display list on the Shipping Parameters window determines the default for the Enforce Packing check box. See: Defining Shipping Parameters

Attention: Even if the Enforce Packing check box is checked, you can still ship the departure containing the delivery without packing the delivery line items. The message you receive is only a warning that the items are not packed.
