Shipment (fmlbd3100m100)
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. 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.
Changes in the freight orders or the originating orders on which a shipment is based also affect the shipment. For more information, refer to Load plan, load, and shipment maintenance.
