Shipment validationShipment validation is an optional step that you can add to the outbound flow. It is a process that verifies if specific trading partner requirements are met. For this purpose, this process performs various checks on shipments and loads, such as:
Shipment validation is performed outside LN by Automotive Exchange Export Manager (EXM), where the validation checks have been defined. BODs are used to send the required shipment, load, and other master data information from LN to EXM, and to return the validation results from EXM to LN. Step 1. Frozen: shipment validation starts The shipment validation process is launched when a shipment or a load is Frozen. This means that the validation checks are started up in EXM. While the validation is in progress, the validation status is set to Validating. The shipment validation status is displayed in the Publishing Status field in the Shipments (whinh4130m000) or Loads (whinh4140m000) session. Step 2. Frozen: checks completed and shipping documents
printed When the validation checks are completed in EXM, the shipment validation status can be either of the following:
Step 3. Confirmed: confirm when validated For successful validations, the validation status is set to Validated. The user can confirm the shipments and loads, after which EXM delivers the advance shipping notice (ASN). The resulting improved accuracy of the shipping documents and ASNs ensures a more cost-effective and efficient shipping process. Setup To use shipment validation:
Note If the validation status is Validating or Validation Error, shipments or loads cannot be confirmed. Only loads or shipments with the Validated status can be confirmed.
