Shipment Planning

The foundation of the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Transportation Management system is the shipment, which begins the transportation process. The system creates shipments when sales orders are entered through the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Sales Order Management system. Using information from the sales order, the system places an order or orders onto a shipment. The system then creates a record to move the shipment from an original location to a final destination. When you create a shipment, the system determines:

• How the shipment should be routed.

• What costs to assess to the shipment (rating).

• When the customer can expect the shipment.

You can enter shipment information for inbound shipments, such as a purchase order or customer return. The system processes inbound shipments similarly to outbound shipments.
