Warehouse shipping orders allow companies to exchange data with their remote warehouses or third-party warehouse Partners about requests for purchased product to be shipped to a buyer's location without giving these Partners access to their serialization system of record. Warehouse shipping orders can be used to request that products in a given purchase order be shipped to a buyer's location from a supplier's remote or third-party warehouses and confirm that the supplier's remote warehouses or third-party warehouses has shipped the requested product via a warehouse shipping advice.

Suppliers use warehouse shipping orders to communicate requests to their remote or third-party warehouse for purchased product to be shipped from the supplier's remote or third-party warehouse to a buyer's location.
