Perform Shipping Transactions
Use the Perform Shipping Transactions scheduled process to process shipping transactions from the shipping open interface tables.
The process is used for processing shipping transactions imported from WMS, 3PL, or external execution systems. The process validates the data before processing it and performs shipping transactions only when shipment lines are in Ready to Release or Backordered status. Any errors from the validation step are recorded in the interface error table and the transaction records remain in the open interface tables.
When to Use
Use this process when you load the shipping open interface tables using the Perform Shipping Transaction Import file-based data import (FBDI), Material Shipment SOAP web service, or Shipment Transaction Requests REST Resource and you want to process the shipping transactions from the interface tables at a specific time or interval.
