Create Shipment

Explanation

This activity is used to create a shipment. The shipment will be the base for connecting customer order lines to the shipment, creating package structures, creating delivery notes, creating shipping documents as well as sending a dispatch advice to the customer. All this will eventually be connected to the shipment ID. You should note however, that a shipment can only have one delivery address.
