Creating a Manifest for Express Delivery Companies
Use
A manifest is a shipment IDoc that is sent to an express delivery company. It contains all deliveries that are transported in the express delivery company's truck, which is typically loaded once every evening with all parcels.
The express delivery company uses this list of data for simple invoice creation and also for double-checking against the list of parcels that were actually scanned. Manual entry of parcels is thus no longer necessary.
