Shipping Lists

Each shipment sent to a delivery point is associated with a shipping list (bill-of-lading) defining general data and the specific content of the shipment.  Each shipping list corresponds to a previously generated shipping proposal.  The shipping list number is the shipping proposal number plus a two-digit suffix.  This suffix identifies the different shipping lists associated for the same shipping proposal, as several shipments may be necessary to delivery a shipment.  However, you can only have one open shipping list for a shipping proposal at a time.  If you have not shipped a shipping list, and you wish to create another shipping list for the same proposal, you must freeze the first shipping list.

For each shipment, the system automatically updates the quantity left to be shipped for each item by deducting the quantity already shipped on the previous shipping list.  The system also allows the shipper to ship more than the planned quantity.  The option to subdivide your shipment and the automatic tracking of quantity left to ship is a convenient way to manage multi-daily client call-offs.

You can use the exceptional shipment option to create a shipping list for items that were not originally planned and do not exist on a shipping proposal.
