Shipment Execution 

Use

The aim of shipment completion is to complete the formalities involved in getting a shipment ready for dispatching to the customer. Tasks in shipment completion include weighing the shipments, loading, and posting goods issue. At check-in (when a truck arrives on the company’s premises) information about the means of transport such as driver details, the weight of the truck, and its arrival time can be recorded. You can store all this information in the shipment document and it is printed out on the transportation documents, for example, when the completion status is set. There are various reports available to assist you in choosing the shipments relevant for check-in and those relevant for shipment completion.

Features

You can carry out certain functions configured in Customizing using Shpmt completion in the shipment completion list (see About Transportation Processing and Creating Shipment Completion Lists). These functions include goods issue posting or billing as well as printing transportation documents, deliveries or billing documents.

Using this function button, you can quickly and efficiently carry out all functions that you want to use during shipment completion.

You can use the Shipment completion log to display which functions were carried out or which ones led to problems.

Following shipment completion, you can compare any differences that were found between the shipment completion and the delivery (during weighing, for example) directly to the delivery.

For example, in bulk product transportation (gases or liquids), the actual quantity often is different from the quantity that was ordered.
