Shipment documents are normally sent in one of the following two situations:
Prerequisites
You need to create an output type that you can use to send the shipment document per Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). Output type SEDI is provided for this purpose. You can also make a copy of this output type and tailor it to your needs, if necessary. The transmission medium must be set to 6 (EDI).
The following condition components must be maintained:
Condition component |
Value |
Access sequence |
0001 |
Output type |
SEDI (or copy of SEDI) |
Schema |
V7STRA, for example |
Application |
V7 |
Processing routine |
RSNASTED program, FORM-routine EDI-PROCESSING |
General data |
Select Access to conditions and Multiple sending of output. Leave all other fields blank. |
Time |
3 (explicit request), as an example |
Transmission medium |
6 |
Partner function |
CR (Carrier) or SH (Ship-to party) |

You must also enter the following values for outbound partner profiles and any additional outbound parameters under message control.

Scenario: The shipper or forwarding agent informs the customer about the upcoming shipment (shipment notification).
You have a fully-planned shipment document (that you have created and planned yourself, or that the forwarding agent has planned for you).
Depending on what point in the process the message determination is set to take place, the EDI is triggered immediately after posting (time 4) or when explicitly requested (time 3).
To improve performance, you should make sure that when you use IDocs for special purposes that you only generate segments that include the data you need. You can hide certain segments by using a reduction technique.
