This recipe explains the details of how to confirm order shipments.
When you run the Confirm Shipment process, the system performs other processes for the order. During the Confirm Shipment process, you must update the On-Hand inventory as this improves the inventory correctness. The On-Hand quantities will relieve the item at the time of Confirm Shipment or Sales Update. When you deduct the on-hand quantity from the inventory when confirming the shipment, the system creates a record in the Item Ledger (F4111) table with the sales order as the document number and the order type as the Document Type. At the time of Sales Update, the system overwrites the record with the Invoice Number, Type, GL Date and Batch Number.
You can also guarantee the accuracy of the order by entering serial number information or confirming the test results for the shipped items during Confirm Shipment.
