Confirm Shipments
Use the Confirm Shipments scheduled process to confirm shipments selected based on a range of parameters.
A shipment is selected by this process only when all assigned shipment lines are staged or quick ship eligible. The process uses the ship confirm rule to determine how the shipment will be ship confirmed.
When to Use
Use this process when you want to confirm the shipment as a background process at predefined times and intervals.
