Planning, Monitoring and Analysis in Shipping

Use

There are various information and analysis functions available in shipping processing. To monitor and optimize the processes and operations in shipping, you can analyze them using the following questions:

Which deliveries are pending for goods issue?
Which deliveries are being processed?
For which materials have the most deliveries been created?
Which inquiries, quotations, and orders are the basis for a particular delivery?
Which deliveries result from which orders?
Which deliveries include certain order items?
For which deliveries do you need to initiate activities in the warehouse?

To determine this and other information, and to execute subsequent activities, you can use the delivery monitor.

For example, you can create the following lists with the delivery monitor:

Lists of deliveries with certain partners

Lists of deliveries with certain materials

Lists of deliveries according to specific sales parameters

Lists of deliveries according to specific shipping parameters

You can specify which fields of the deliveries are to appear in the list and which selection criteria you use, without having to change the settings in Customizing. You can also call up the document flow for individual deliveries.
