Understanding Shipment Information

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Transportation Management system supports all of the shipping needs of the company. Plan Transportation provides functions for the daily processes that you use to transport items from an origin to one or more destinations. You can view and change shipments. The system performs the necessary planning functions before orders are shipped.

Initially, you enter and accept a sales order. The system automatically creates a shipment. You can revise or add to the shipment, or you can consolidate shipments that go to a destination by combining them into a load.

With shipment information, you can:

• Change the routing and other shipment information, such as the carrier and mode of transport.

• Add a shipment to a load.

• Modify or define the options and equipment.

• Add, modify, or delete shipment pieces.

• View, add, or modify freight charges for a shipment.

• Print delivery documents for a shipment.

• Approve or confirm a shipment.
