Ship Packages#

🔒 Package.Ship

Overview#

This operation is used to Ship a Top-Level Package that may contain different Materials.

You can Ship Packages from the Package entity in the Business Data menu or from the Packages entity in the Planning and Logistics menu.

The difference is that from the Planning and Logistics menu you can ship more that one package at a time, whereas from the Package entity in the Business Data menu, you have to ship one package at a time.
