Shipping
Networks
Inter-organization shipping network information describes
the relationships and accounting information that exists between a shipping (from)
organization that ships inventory to a destination (to)
organization.
Depending
on the function security assigned to your responsibility, you can define a
shipping network between the current organization and another organization or
between any two organizations. The function security assigned to your
responsibility determines whether you have the ability to define shipping
networks for all organizations or just the current organization.
