Manually Interface Shipment Lines to External Systems
You can manually specify criteria to interface shipment lines to external systems. This enables you to reserve material and send shipment requests while bypassing the regular processing steps.
Use the Create Outbound Shipment Request page (accessed from the Inventory Management work area) to specify the criteria to interface shipment lines with an external system. To initiate the shipment request, select either a shipment line or pick wave release rule, or enter a sales order.
