Pick-up sheets
A pick-up sheet is a list of items that a carrier must pick-up at the supplier’s location for transport, in a single shipment to the customer, on a specific day. The sheet is identified by a specific reference number, called the shipment reference, which is created by the customer. This reference number is used to identify pick-up sheets, shipments, and payments. Usually, the shipment data lists the pick-up sheet requirements, but the required goods on the pick-up sheet are spread among different sales schedules.
Sales schedule requirements are grouped in pick-up sheets based on these characteristics:
- Sold-to Business Partner
- Ship-to Business Partner
- Shipment Reference
- Carrier/LSP
- Start Date
- End Date

- Pick-up sheets are regarded as firmly settled, therefore, the sheets cannot be automatically updated or modified. However, you can manually modify the unapproved pick-up sheets.
