Shipment<br />

Figure 12.5 Input of Shipment Types when Creating a Shipment Document<br />

In the <strong>SAP</strong> system, the shipment type “0002” is predefined. Initially, the only difference<br />

in Customizing is in Process Control. Here, “3” (collective shipment using<br />

one mode of transport) is entered.<br />

For transportation chains the process is more complex. A transportation chain is<br />

characterized by several shipments and possibly different forwarding agents. Usually,<br />

this includes sea and air freights, as shown in Figure 12.6.<br />
