If there is a check mark in the Shipment on Invoice check box in the Sales & Receivables Setup window, a shipment will also be created when you post an invoice.

A sales shipment is made up of a sales shipment header and one or more sales shipment lines.

The sales shipment header contains all the relevant information about the sell-to and bill-to customers such as name, address, document number and date. The program copied the information from the sales header when it was posted.

Sales shipment lines contain information (such as item number, quantity and prices) copied from the posted sales line.

You cannot change any of the fields on a sales shipment header or lines because the shipment has already been posted.
