ProcessShipment

OAGIS BOD combining the Process verb with the Shipment noun. Direct canonical equivalent of EDI EDIFACT DESADV and X12 856 messages in OAGIS 10.x's Logistics domain.

BOD purpose

The ProcessShipment BOD notifies a recipient of an upcoming shipment: canonical equivalent of EDIFACT DESADV or X12 856 (ASN). Lines, packaging, weight, carrier, references to the originating PO.

Structure (ApplicationArea + DataArea)

Like every OAGIS BOD, ProcessShipment stacks an ApplicationArea technical envelope (Sender, BODID, CreationDateTime) and a business DataArea that contains the verb and the noun.

• ShipmentHeader — DocumentID, shipment / estimated delivery dates, sender / recipient parties, carrier.
• ShipmentItem or ShipmentLine — product, quantities, lots.
• ShipUnit — hierarchical parcel/pallet/container structure.
