Attach Shipping Documents to Shipment
Use the Attach Shipping Documents to Shipment scheduled process to attach shipping documents to the shipment.
Use the Attach Document option in the Manage Shipping Document Output Preferences task to set up the output of the shipping document job. The Apply Document Job Set Rules and Output Preferences process will automatically submit the process at the time of shipment confirmation when shipping documents are eligible for attachment.

You can submit it manually for a specific shipment or range of shipments if the process submitted at the time of shipment confirmation doesn't attach the documents to the shipment or when you want to attach the documents once again after shipment confirmation.
