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.

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.
Dear Shankar,
Really Appreciated your Great Valuable efforts, it's really outstanding.
