Processing Individual Shipments 
Use
Use these functions if you want to manually process individual shipments, as opposed to a group of several shipments with Dynamic Transportation Planning.
Prerequisites
You can include shippable deliveries in the shipment when manually creating shipments. All deliveries that meet the following prerequisites are considered shippable:
· The delivery type must be relevant for shipping.
· At least one delivery item category in the delivery must be relevant for shipping.
· The delivery must contain a route, and the delivery must be relevant for shipping.
· The delivery header must not contain a reason for blocking the shipment.
· The deliveries must have a transportation planning status other than C (completely processed).
Note regarding driver’s license category:
When you create a shipment, the system reads the driving license categories in the driver and vehicle masters to determine whether the driver is authorized to drive the selected vehicle. Therefore, the number of driving license categories assigned to the vehicle has to be a partial quantity of the number of driving license categories assigned to the driver. If this is not the case, the system displays an error message.
Features

Activities
Create Shipment
...
...
1. You enter the necessary data for the fields in the shipment header.
2. You select the deliveries you require.
You can use various selection criteria such as shipping point, ship-to party, route, destination, due date, shipping agent, and others to influence the selection of deliveries for the shipment. To simplify selection, you can define a selection variant for selecting deliveries in Customizing for each shipment type.
3. In the following overview, Transportation Planning assigns the selected deliveries to the shipment that has been created.
In this view, you can manually remove deliveries from the shipment. You can also manually add deliveries that have not yet been allocated to a shipment. You can change the sequence of the deliveries in the shipment using drag and drop. If you move deliveries to a shipment, or remove deliveries, a dialog box appears if required. The dialog box shows that there are more deliveries in the shipment for the same ship-to party.
4. If you highlight a shipment or a delivery and choose Delivery Overview, Transportation Planning displays an overview of the cumulative quantities for each ship-to party of the shipment and additional information on the means of transport.
5. If you highlight a shipment or a delivery and choose Materials Overview, Transportation Planning displays an overview of the materials in the deliveries. In this case, Transportation Planning does not take returns into account.
6. Vehicle Space Optimization: If you use vehicle space optimization from the DSD process the status of vehicle space optimization will be displayed on the Deadlines tab page on the overview screen. From this tab page you can branch to vehicle space optimization. For more information about vehicle space optimization, see the documentation entitled Vehicle Space Optimization.
