Select Shipments for a Bill of Lading

When you click Lines in the Bill of Lading Maintenance (BLM) program, you can select shipments for this bill of lading. Shipments displayed are based on BOL header data:

Shipment branch must match the bill of lading branch
One-step orders are ignored
Shipments associated with other bills of lading are ignored
Shipments must be for the same customer number as the bill of lading
Shipment status must be N, P or C
Sales order drop shipments are ignored
When the shipment is at a confirmed status, the shipment carrier must match the bill of lading carrier. (Note: It is a good practice to set the BOL required? in Ship Via Codes Maintenance for carriers that require bills of lading so that orders are not confirmed as shipped by Order Confirmation.)
The shipment's ship-to number must match the bill of lading header ship-to number

The program displays these fields for the shipments for this customer or ship-to number:
