About Performing Inbound Tasks

The Inbound Shipment Console provides information on inbound shipments and containers. This console provides sellers, node users, and carriers with information necessary to coordinate and ensure on-time delivery of shipments.

You can either include a purchase order release into an existing inbound shipment or create an inbound shipment for a set of orders.

An inbound shipment as an entity can be used in a delivery plan by attaching it to a load. For more information about configuring delivery plans and loads, see the Configuring Sterling Logistics Management.
