Shipments (fmlbd3100m000)Use this session to view and maintain shipments. You can create shipments with the Freight load building engine, an external planning engine, or manually. A shipment is a part of a load, which, in turn, is a part of a load plan. You can manually create a shipment, change the shipment data, and add or remove shipment lines. However, the shipment status determines whether you can delete or make a change to a shipment or shipment line, and if changing is allowed, what changes you can make. Note Use the Maps section to view the location of the Ship-from Address and the Ship-to Address. You must select only one record at a time. Changes in the freight orders or the originating orders on which a shipment is based also have an impact on the shipment. For more information, refer to Load plan, load, and shipment maintenance.
