Shipment Revision Information

You can modify shipments after they have been created using the Work With Shipments program (P4915). Shipment revisions are usually made only when special circumstances necessitate a change, such as:

  • You must change a promised delivery date and time.

  • You must split a shipment into multiple legs.

In addition, you can change:

  • Weight and volume information.

  • Mode of transport.

  • Carrier number.

  • Handling code.

  • Measurements.

After a shipment has reached a certain status, certain information cannot be modified. For example, when final payable or billable freight charges have been updated, the shipment information is protected and cannot be changed. Typically, you can edit most of the information that is included in that shipment.

The Shipment Revisions form includes information about the specific product and quantity that is being shipped. Shipment details originate from sales orders. You cannot modify or add shipment detail information for shipments after sales orders have been entered.

If you are using the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Demand Scheduling Execution system (40R), the system displays and updates the CUM Shipped field in the detail area on the Shipment Revisions form. The system prints the cumulative shipped quantity on the bill of lading and provides a historical record for the cumulative quantity. You can manually update cumulative information from the Shipment Revisions form, as necessary. You can also access the Standard Pack Carton Recommendations application (P4615) to work with carton recommendations and packaging requirements.

If you must set up the self-service mode, suppliers who provide delivery services can review their shipments. By using this self-service mode, you can keep suppliers informed about pending and approved shipments. Greater communication enables you and suppliers a better working relationship. Outbound Carrier Schedule in Supplier Self-Service mode enables you to review shipments from the web. After you enable Outbound Carrier Schedule through processing options, suppliers and carriers can inquire about shipments that are assigned to them in the system. Suppliers or carriers cannot revise shipment information.
