Finish Loading
Explanation
This activity is used when the loading is done i.e. there is no more
handling units to load or the transport is full. This will finalize the
loading and set the scope of the consolidated shipment and the connected
shipments. When loading is finished the shipment process can continue with
the next steps in the shipment flow i.e., complete, deliver, close.
To Finish Load a consolidated shipment, in the Load Consolidated Shipment
