Shipment Status
Use
The shipment status indicates the processing stage reached by the shipment. To proceed from one processing stage to the next, the shipment status has to have the correct status number. However, where multiple vehicles and loading plants are involved, the status of the individual vehicle and plant is also monitored, which in turn determines the overall status of the shipment. The possible values for the shipment range from 1 to 6:

This is an indication that the shipment is partially scheduled. The shipment remains at status 1 until the schedule has been activated. |
2 |
Following the activation of a schedule, the shipment has status 2 . This is a prerequisite for the load confirmation process. |
