Configure Integration Flows for Shipments
You must configure the shipments to enable the supported integration flows. You can transfer the data to or from the sales application. You can integrate the application and transfer shipment details from the SCM to the consumer goods mobile application.
Transfer Shipment Details
The mobile application can read-only complete shipment records. To identify or capture completed shipments, the value in the Process Status field is used.
The Process Status field is a static pick list on the shipments header record in SCM. After the shipment headers and all shipment lines are created, SCM must set this Process Status field to Ready to process.
To transfer shipments, configure your SCM to do the following tasks:
-
Create a shipment header with Process Status as NULL.
-
Retrieve Shipment ID of the shipment header.
-
Create all shipment lines using the Shipment ID.
-
Update the Process Status in the shipment header to Ready to process.
Note:Do not update shipment and shipment lines for shipment headers in Ready to process status.
Set the Delivery Status of Shipment
When you deliver shipments using the consumer goods mobile application, corresponding inventory transactions are generated for each shipment. You must configure SCM to identify and track whether the shipments were delivered by using the corresponding inventory transactions.
