Use this function to perform a mass generation of deliveries from picking tickets.

Mass validation of transportation notes

To perform the mass validation of transportation notes, you must check that the shipping dates comply with the requirements in terms of shipment start and end dates and times. This is important because you can only communicate future transport dates, not transport dates in the past.

Select the Activate check box in the Transport Information block to modify dates accordingly.

For example, a shipment was scheduled for a date prior to the date on which you want to perform the mass validation, but you know it will be shipped within the next three days. You can modify the date to a future date by adding '3' days to the No. days betw. transport start date and ship date field to comply with shipment requirements. This modification allows you to carry out the mass validation.

You still have the option to validate individual transportation notes, but with large datasets, individual validation is not always practical.
