Many countries require that formal shipping documents accompany any movement of goods. If you are using shipping groups, you can record shipping information and generate shipping documents from some repetitive transactions.

When a backflush occurs at a site other than the work order site and the site addresses exist in a shipping group with an inventory movement code that allows ISS-WO, you are prompted for shipper information. This can occur in Backflush Transaction (18.22.13) and Rework Transaction (18.22.17).

Shippers can also be generated when a picklist transfer occurs in Repetitive Picklist Transfer (18.22.3.6) and the addresses associated with the from and to site or location are associated with a shipping group with an inventory movement code that allows ISS-TR.

See the Shipping chapter in User Guide: QAD Sales for details.
