Shipment Creation During Order Entry

When you enter a sales order or a purchase order, the system automatically creates an inbound or outbound shipment based on the combination of order type and line type that you define in the user-defined code (UDC) table Shipping Document/Line Types (49/SD). This code is a four-character, alphanumeric code in which the first two characters indicate the order type and the third and fourth characters indicate the line type. The system creates shipments only for line types on an order that match a UDC.

The system creates a shipment during order entry based also on shipping information for the branch/plant, ship to address, and item.

Note: You can edit shipment information during order entry; however, after you accept the order, you cannot modify shipment detail information from the Shipment Revisions form. To modify shipment information, you must edit the sales order.
