Remove/Modify/Reassign Shipment Lines

Explanation

This activity is used to change the content of the shipment by either removing, modifying or reassigning the quantity of a shipment line. There are several situations where it may be necessary to remove a shipment line or adjust the quantity of a shipment line. The person responsible for the shipment may realize the need for removal, modification or addition of a line at any stage in the process, including just before loading the truck. Therefore, it is imperative that it is possible, as long as the lines are not delivered. If required, the quantity of a source line can be connected to several shipments in parallel in order to handle a limited transport capacity, a backorder situation where you want to prepare the next delivery in advance, a shipment receiver requiring a certain delivery schedule etc.

When reassigning a shipment line quantity, this is disconnected from current shipment and connected to a new shipment, an existing shipment, or the source object. If desired you can reassign the reserved and picked quantities of the shipment line to the destination.
