This topic applies to features in the Inventory management module. It does not apply to features in the Warehouse management module.

Click Inventory management > Common > Shipments. Click Show lines.

Use this form to display the inventory orders that form the basis for the shipment.

Until the shipment has actually been sent, you can manually add shipment lines. A parameter on the Shipment templates (form) controls how late in the process that shipment lines can be added automatically.

A shipment line can be deleted as long as it has not yet been picked.

When shipments are Reserved, the transactions are updated so that they mirror the reserved items.

In connection with picking, the transactions are updated so that they mirror the picked items.
