Shipment data can be sent per EDI. Shipping documents are generally used in two scenarios:

• The sender transfers a partially or completely planned shipment to the forwarding agent (shipping order SHPMNT).
• The sender or the forwarding agent provides the customer with information about a shipment to be expected (shipment notification SHPADV).

For AFS, only the outbound messages (SHPMNT and SHPADV) are implemented and not the inbound.

The AFS specific segments are filled in exactly the same way as in the IDoc /AFS/DELVRY02.
