Shipping Container List
From TrueERP wiki
Overview
Shipping Containers are used to track stock on order, whether for stock or for a specific customer order. A container can contain multiple products for multiple orders and must be created before it can be used at Shipping Container. This typically happens at the time the supplier advises the shipping details for a Purchase Order.
Ways Lists in ERP can be Manipulated:
Shipping Containers are linked to Purchase Orders. If the Purchase Order was created from a Smart Order the Shipping Container is then linked to the underlying Sales Order or Invoice as well.
