What is Shipment?
Shipment
Sending finished products to customers.
What it means
Shipping is the final step in ordering. Finished products are taken out of the warehouse, sent to customers, and this fact is recorded in the system.
Once you place a shipment, the inventory of finished products decreases and the order becomes complete. It is also recorded which order the shipment was made for.
At the pen factory
On the 5th day, 100 pens of black ballpoint pen will be shipped to Hanbit Stationery. Shipment D-1105 is registered and order S-1101 is “shipped.”
Why it matters
If there is no shipment record, the product has been shipped but inventory remains on the screen. If you rely on that inventory and promise to place another order, that's a problem.
