Create Shipments for Sales Orders

If you use JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Transportation Management, you can set up processing so that when you enter a sales order, the system automatically creates a shipment for the order based on the order type and line type combination that you define in the UDC table (49/SD). The shipment is a request to transport goods from the branch/plant to the customer. If you do not enter a carrier and mode of transport during order entry, the system retrieves default carrier and transport information from any of these sources:

  • Item branch/plant information.

  • Customer master information.

  • Inventory commitment preference.

When you review routing options in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Transportation Management, you can review and revise the carrier and mode of transport. If you do not specify a carrier in either of the master tables or during order entry, the system populates the Carrier and Mode of Transport fields based on the carrier transportation preference.

You can also bypass rating and routing options when creating shipments if the carrier and mode of transportation are specified. To activate this feature, set up the codes in the Bypass Rating and Routing UDC table (42/FR) with a special handling code of 9.
