The multi-line screen allows the entry of detailed shipping transactions against existing transfer order lines.  The user can reverse shipments for a line if no receipts have been recorded for this line.  All shipments of this line will be reversed by employing this option.  The user may ship against all lines as long as the shipment quantity does not exceed the reserved quantity (for each line).  The user may specify bill of lading information such as the carrier code, total number of boxes, goods destination, and consolidated Bill of Lading flag.  If the use ESL/SSD flag on Reference File category 133 is set to 'Y', the user may also specify whether to create an invoice as a result of the transfer order shipment.

(2)  F21 ends the shipment if all enterable fields are valid.

c.   Any input lines on the screen are validated.  See the Transfer Control User Manual, File Maintenance Screens for validation rules.

d.   If all of the fields are validated and the Enter key is pressed, control is passed back to the multi-line screen and the quantity to be shipped is formatted with the quantity to be shipped from the detail screen.

4.   Control is passed to the Transfer Order Shipping Update program (TC125E) when F21 is pressed and there is a pending Reversal Transaction.
