Confirming Shipments and Loads by Batch (Release 9.2 Update)

Select Shipment and Loads (G4911), Batch Confirmation for Shipments (R49500) to confirm a transportation shipment or load by batch.

The system automatically records the actual quantities of products that you are shipping, updates the shipment and load to the next status, and performs shipment confirmation for the individual sales orders that have been assigned to the shipment.

The system also verifies that the rating and routing statuses are valid and checks for miscellaneous lines that are not assigned to a shipment. If miscellaneous lines are found, the system updates the Sales Order Detail File (F4211) and Sales Order Detail File - Tag File (F49211) tables with the shipment number.

You can set a processing option in the R49500 program to confirm non-compartmentalized standard and in-transit loads when you run the R49500 program to confirm shipments. When you set the processing option to confirm loads, the R49500 program confirms loads based on the version of the Transportation Load Confirmation program (P49640) that you specify in a processing option, or runs version ZJDE0001 if you do not specify a version. When you confirm loads using the R49500 program, the system processes the shipments in sequence by load number, planning depot, load leg number, shipment number, and routing step number. If you run the R49500 to confirm only shipments, then the system processes the shipments in sequence by shipment number and routing step number. The system sends any error messages to the Work Center.

You can also access Batch Ship Confirm from the row menu of Work With Shipments (P4915). You can select multiple shipments in the form for confirmation. When you select Batch Ship Confirm, the system launches the Batch Transportation Shipment Confirm (R49500) program in subsystem mode to perform shipment confirmation.

Additionally, from the Transportation Ship Confirm (P49645) program, you can select Confirm As-Is from the form menu. You can launch the Batch Ship Confirm (R42500) program and pass the shipment number to the UBE and call it in subsystem mode only to confirm a shipment.
