    Process Shipment Directly to Shipper
    If this check box is selected, an imported SyncShipment BOD with Shipped status for this Ship From is processed to a shipper. The processing is performed if there is no proforma or real shipper available for this shipment. In this case, no SyncCarrierRoute BOD is required to create a shipper for the imported SyncShipment.
    Use Ship From Address Data from BOD
    The BOD only contains the Ship From address. It does not contain any ship from information. Generally, the Ship From address is taken from the BOD.

If you still want to use the address from the BOD, you must select this check box.
    Use Supplier Address Data from BOD
    If the option is selected, or if the supplier address name and city are not filled on the Ship From Information page, the supplier address data from the BOD is used. If the check box is cleared, the supplier address data from the Ship From Information page is transferred to the shipper when it is created or a Reload Configuration on an existing shipper is performed.
