The field has several occurrences on the Shipping schedule form. Only one of them can be changed; the others cannot. In the field that can be changed, you can specify the quantity you will ship from this shipping line. If the actual shipment is specified in the Shipping module, you can still change this quantity, as this field contains the planned shipping quantity. If you change the quantity in the first field, the contents of the other two fields will change automatically.

The Quantity field is displayed on the other locations for your convenience. For example, the field is displayed next to the informational fields showing the quantity already shipped on this shipping line, the quantity still to be shipped, etcetera. You cannot change the field contents on these locations.

The planned shipping date is initially copied from the Confirmed shipping date field on the Specification tab of the sales line.

If you are using a main shipping schedule, the planned shipping date on a shipping line will be based on the date set in the main shipping schedule to which the shipping line is linked. If you make changes to the main shipping schedule, those changes will also be applied to the planned shipping date on the shipping line. The confirmed shipping date may be different.

The confirmed shipping date in the shipping schedule is initially copied from the Confirmed shipping date field on the sales line.

If the line is part of a clustered shipment (main shipping schedule), this field shows the main shipping schedule the shipment is included in.

The Already shipped field will be filled when a shipping note is created for this shipping line. This quantity is automatically monitored based on the data in the Shipping module. This is an informational field that cannot be modified.

When the shipping note is processed, the quantities shipped are registered permanently. This means that if you change the quantities delivered after you have created a shipping note, this change will be visible in the Already shipped field only after the shipping note has been processed.

The 'Still to ship' field will be filled when a shipping note is created for this shipping line. The total 'To ship' quantity will then be reduced by the quantity stated on the shipping note, and this result will be filled in in the 'Still to ship' field. This is an informational field that cannot be modified.

When the shipping note is processed, the quantities delivered will be registered permanently, and the outstanding quantity in the Still to ship field will, if necessary, be updated. This means that if you change the quantities delivered after you have created a shipping note, this change will be visible in the Still to ship field only after the shipping note has been processed.

This field shows the date on which the sales line was confirmed as complete by running the Confirm sales line process. You can undo the confirmation of a sales line using the Confirm sales line process.

This field shows the user who created the current shipping line. This is an informational field that cannot be modified.

These fields are filled automatically if you click on the Shipping schedule form to enable changes: the To ship field will be filled with the quantity of parts still to be shipped for which no shipping note has been created yet, the Shipping date will be filled with the current date, and the Shipment authorization check box will be selected. You can still change the field values at this stage. To authorize not just this shipping line, but all shipping lines of a sales order at the same time, run the Authorize process. The fields of all shipping lines of the order will then be filled as described above.

To confirm just this shipping line as complete, manually select the Complete after creating shipping note check box, and fill in the confirmation date in the Complete date field. To confirm not just this shipping line, but all shipping lines of a sales order simultaneously, run the Confirm process.

These fields show the quantities you will obtain from purchasing, stock, and production respectively. It is possible to change the field, but you should bear in mind that the origin quantities on the sales line must match the origin quantities on the shipping line. If you change the quantities, a warning will be displayed.

Note: The Purchase, Stock and Production fields should collectively contain the full quantity from the Quantity field. If the sum of these fields does not match the quantity in the Quantity field, a message will be displayed. In this case, you can confirm the data on the shipping line only after you have corrected the quantities.
