Shipment Information
If you use JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Transportation Management from Oracle, you can set up processing so that the system automatically creates shipment for a purchase order based on the order type and line type combination that you define in the UDC tables (49/SD). The shipment is a request to transport goods from the supplier to the branch/plant. 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:
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 based on the Carrier transportation preference.
