The management of freight containers is included in the logistics chain. Freight containers are used in the Shipments management in order to manage the Transportation of purchase orders to their delivery point.

In this function, select the lines of the orders to ship. It can be full orders for which you can decide to keep or discard the initially planned quantities. You can also pick a selection of lines and modify their initial quantity.
These lines can come from several orders, sites and suppliers, provided that they belong to the same legal company.

However, you cannot select order lines already associated directly with a shipment.

You can modify or delete a freight container as long as it is not associated with a shipment.
