Hi Rajat,

Shipping:

shipping activities perform before delivering the goods to the ship to party,

like time take to pick the goods, packing of those goods into carts ( as per the its packing system), loading this packed goods into truck ( or any vehicle which uses to ship the goods).

Delivery:

starting from the shipping point,how much time taken to reach the customer,

might be travelling time, stages like,if itz through Air, initially this load should go airport, from there customer country , n frm there to actual ship to party location.

Transporation:

Moving of the goods, in which transporation mode, as we have roadways, railways, by air,

how many stages involved ( itinaries), from which route,all comes into transporation.

Hi Rajat,

Shipping comprises the entire shipping activities.

Delivery is the actual delivery made to customer. It can be outbound and inbound also. Inbound is used in MM process.

Shipment document is created if you are using transportation module wherein you can combine multiple deliveries into single shipment.
