An address label can be printed for the shipment with basic information about the receiver and sender addresses, references, place of departure, destination and the forwarder.
This activity can be executed either manually per shipment, manually for all shipments connected to a consolidated shipment or automatically in the shipment flow. Whether or not to print an address label automatically, is controlled by the shipment type of the shipment. In the shipment type it can be defined that an address label should be printed at execution of a main activity in the shipment flow e.g. reservation, report picking, delivery. A consolidated shipment is defined as one departure of several shipments from the specified site, to all the delivery addresses of the connected shipments. When executed from the consolidated shipment the address label for all connected shipments are printed in load sequence order to prepare what is next to be loaded first.
