You can use this report to select shipment documents for which planning activities have been completed and tasks such as weighing, loading, and goods issue still have to be performed.

The shipment completion list is compiled using selection criteria. You can control which fields appear as selection criteria on the selection screen. The set of criteria that are displayed are determined on the basis of settings made in Customizing for Transportation. For more information about changing these settings, see the Maintain selection views for lists of shipments section in the online Implementation Guide. Important criteria for shipment completion include the loading and transportation deadlines.

You can select from two different views on the list screen. The first view list contains general shipping information for the selected shipment documents. You can switch to a second view of the list which provides you with information on the planned and actual deadlines for the documents and the status of the various transportation activities. You can access each shipment document from the list directly and perform the necessary shipment completion activities. There are various functions which enable you to pare down the list to exactly those documents you want to process. In addition, search and sort functions have been designed to help you access the information you need from the list. After you have made changes to a shipment document in the list and then returned to the list, you can use the Refresh function to update the list.

Every morning, an employee in a shipping company creates a list of all shipments for which transportation planning is to be completed on that day, which he or she uses as a general worklist. The selection criteria used to create this list include: overall shipment status of 1-4 (planned to end loading) and planned completion date. To find individual shipments, he or she sometimes even uses the truck’s license plate number and the name of the truck driver as selection criteria. This information was entered as the shipment was checked in. As this example demonstrates, this report is an important tool that can assist you in planning shipments efficiently.
