      Shankar,

      I am actually sorry for commenting late on this, I bet I referred this to many of my friends and I read it a bunch of times. Great effort man.

      Keep it up, and pls. point me if you have any blog-spot of your own or any valuable links in LES/TM subject space.

       

      Thanks,

      Krishna.

      My question is a little different. How do I get two PO's on the same shipping document? We are having an issue with the second order being left behind because we are generating two shipping documents.

      Hi,

      This is really useful and well explained. Do you have any such document for mass processing of inbound deliveries and Inbound shipments? In case, ASN submitted late or failed to process through the other system to s4?

      If you have please reply to my comment.

      Thanks in Advance.
