- A shipment includes several packaged items to be delivered to a specific Ship To address of a customer. The shipment data is transferred from the ERP system through the Shipment BOD type. A Shipment BOD creates a temporary pro forma shipper (Shipper ID = Shipment ID) that includes a shipment. Each shipment has a unique shipment ID, also known as packing slip number. The corresponding printout is the packing slip, also known as delivery note.
- A shipper has a collection of
shipments for one customer at a particular point in time. A shipper contains the
basic information, which is the starting point for the waybill, ASN, and other
documents. Each shipper has a unique number, also known as waybill number. The
corresponding printout is the waybill.
Shipper data is transferred through the
CarrierRouteBOD. ACarrierRouteBOD creates a shipper that contains a list of shipment IDs.
