Adding notes

Notes can be specified in the system of record on the shipment header and shipment line level. They are transmitted as note elements through the shipment BOD. These notes are displayed in the shipper. They can be edited, printed on transport documents, and transferred to Transformation Services. Additionally, you can add notes in the Shipping functional area.

When you create a note, you can assign it to a shipment, a shipment line, or a container ID.

New or manually edited notes are marked as 'manually edited' and are not replaced if the same shipment BOD is imported again.

Note: When you edit an existing note, you cannot change shipment, shipment line, or container ID.
