Shipment release

Releasing a shipment reduces the available stock-on-hand in Inventory Control. You can release shipments by running a batch program or an online program.

Note: You cannot undo a released shipment. Release a shipment only when you are certain that all information for the shipment is correct and complete. After you release the shipment, you cannot change the shipped quantity or merge shipments.

You can send EDI customers electronic advance ship notices so they know when to expect a shipment and can prepare for its arrival. Intrastat records are created when you release the shipment. To maintain Intrastat records after you release the shipment, you must access Intrastat Data Maintenance.
