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 page, click
on the Finish Loading command.
Prerequisites
- Handling Units should be loaded to the consolidated shipment.
- 'Loading' indicator of the consolidated shipment should be "In Progress".
- For incomplete packages, finish loading will be possible only when delivery of incomplete packages is allowed
in package part page.
System Effects
- The scope of the consolidated shipment as well as the shipments connected to the consolidated after finish
loading will be finalized.
- Shipments will Connect / Disconnect or Reassign after finish loading as follows,
- If all the handling units on the shipment are loaded to the consolidated shipment,
- The shipment will be connected to the consolidated shipment if not connected previously.
- If no handling unit on the shipment is loaded to the consolidated shipment,
- The shipment will be disconnected from the consolidated shipment if connected previously.
- If any but not all handling units on the shipment are loaded to the consolidated shipment,
- The loaded handling units will be reassigned to a new shipment that will be connected to the consolidated
shipment.

"Finished". The 'Loading' indicator of the shipment contains unloaded handing units will set as

- The next step of the shipment flow will be triggered in a consolidated shipment, if the Trigger Shipment Flow
at Finish Loading toggle is enabled in the Shipment Type. This will function based on the configurations of the
shipment type.
