• 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? (When monitoring shipment performance for a sales order, receive addresses are customer address codes; for a distribution order, receive addresses are site codes.)

• 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-froms, and items, or do your shipping standards vary?
