Shipment<br />

Figure 12.34 Overview after <strong>Transportation</strong> Planning<br />

This section provided a detailed description of the selection options for delivery<br />

documents that can be used to create shipments. Now, I will explain further shipment<br />

functions which you partially already know from delivery documents.<br />

12.4 Shipping Deadlines in Shipment<br />

As in the delivery document, the shipment document contains detailed transportation<br />

planning. For this purpose, shipping deadlines are required that determine<br />

when a certain process has to start for on-time delivery to the customer. This section<br />

presents the individual deadlines and explains how they can be determined<br />

by copying them from the delivery document. These deadlines are integrated in<br />

the shipment document as so-called planned dates. For this purpose, the actual<br />

dates are entered in the subsequent business process which results in a certain status<br />

accordingly. The actual dates, the meaning of their status, and which functions<br />

can be combined <strong>with</strong> this status, are explained in Chapter 14, Shipment Status.<br />

The following shipping deadlines are recorded in the shipment document:<br />
