Set Up Shipment Performance
Before beginning module setup, consider the following questions:
• Are you setting up a shipment performance system for one ship-from site or multiple sites?
• Will you monitor shipment performance for shipments to all receiving addresses or only specific ones?
• Will you monitor shipment performance for shipments of all items or selected items?
• Will you monitor shipment timeliness, completeness, or both?
• Do you want to apply the same shipping standards for all receive addresses, ship-from, and items, or do your shipping standards vary?
Consider which shipments to monitor based on the following elements:
• Customer source of the shipment, including sales order shipments, distribution order shipments, and material order shipments.
• Site where the shipment was made. If you have multiple ship-from sites, determine which of these sites you want to monitor.
• Address receiving the shipment. Compile a list of the sites (if DO is your source) or customer addresses receiving shipments (if SO is your source) that should be monitored.
• Item being shipped. Compile a list of the items you want to monitor.
