To modify shipment data

LN allows you to modify the warehouse shipment data and the load data on the open shipments at a later stage of the outbound process.

You can modify these fields :

  • Ship-to Address
  • Delivery Point
  • Point of Title Passage
  • Delivery Terms

LN allows you to modify the data only if the Ship-To Type field is set to Business Partner and the shipment Status is Open. If the shipment line is frozen, you cannot change the data on the shipment line. To modify the data, you must unfreeze the shipment line. In case shipment documents are already printed, LN resets the print status of the shipment documents from 'Printed' to 'To be printed'. The documents must be re-printed.

Modify the Ship-to Address
  • LN allows you to change the Ship-to Address field on the shipment header.
  • If there are multiple shipments for a load with different routes, LN does not allow you to modify the shipment data. However, LN allows you to move the shipment to a new load and modify the Ship-to Address. LN modifies the Ship-to Address of the shipment line.

The consequences of changing the Ship-to Address

  • The value in the Delivery Point field on the shipment header and the shipment line, if specified, can also be modified. Specifying the Delivery Point is not mandatory.
  • The value in the Route can also be modified on the shipment header. If there is a single shipment within the same load, the Route is automatically updated. In case of multiple shipments within the same load with different routes, the update is not allowed.
  • When the taxation regime changes, LN does not allow you to modify the Ship-to Address.
  • The Delivery Note linked to a shipment can also be modified. When only one shipment is linked to the load, LN allows you to modify the Delivery Note linked to the shipment with the modified Ship-to Address. If the Delivery Note is linked to multiple shipments with different ship-to addresses, LN removes the modified shipment from the existing delivery note and links it to a new delivery note. You must also reprint the existing delivery note after you remove the shipment, only if the delivery note is already printed.
Modify the Delivery Point
  • LN allows you to modify the Delivery Point that is part of the Ship-to Address on the shipment header. When the Single Delivery Point per Shipment check box is selected in the Shipments (whinh4130m000) session, the change in the Delivery Point on the shipment header is applicable to the shipment lines as well.
  • However, when the shipment building criteria Single Delivery Point per Shipment is not selected, you can modify the Delivery Point but the changes are not applicable to the shipment lines.
Modify the Point of Title Passage
  • You can also modify the Point of Title Passage for the shipments.
Modify the Delivery Terms
  • LN allows you to modify the Delivery Terms on the shipment header. When the Delivery Terms is modified, LN changes the value in the Delivery Note field. If the modified shipment is the only shipment linked to the delivery note, the delivery note is modified as well. In case of multiple shipments, if the Delivery Note with different delivery terms is linked to multiple shipments, LN removes the modified shipment from the existing delivery note and links it to a new delivery note.
