  2. In the General Information section, add details about the shipment’s origin and destination. If applicable, select the field service locations where the shipment departs or arrives.
  3. In the Tracking Information section, add details about the shipping provider and delivery date.
  4. Add a description explaining what is being shipped.
  5. Save your changes.
  6. From the Product Transfers related list, create product transfers to track the movement of product items that were included in the shipment.
