Background: Shipping Category Maintenance

Use the Shipping Category Maintenance (TBLC) program to add, change, copy, and delete classifications and coded descriptions that print on a bill of lading of the contents being shipped. See Road Map for work flow.

When you print a bill of lading, you can print a general description of the products being shipped. Therefore, a series of sales orders to your customer can be grouped into one bill of lading:
