You use shipments to transfer inventory items or tools between storerooms within an organization. Shipment records monitor information about the transfer of items from an inventory storeroom and the receipt of the same items at the destination site or storeroom.
You can create shipment records for transfer records that have either Entered status or Staged status. You use the Shipment Receiving application to record the receipt of shipped items. When you ship items to a location within the same site, purchase orders are not required.
