# Ship outbound transactions

The **Order Shipping** page displays released outbound transactions that have not yet been shipped. Select a transaction, enter the relevant shipping information, then post the shipment from this page.

The **Order Shipping** page supports varying levels of warehouse complexity. If certain warehouse transactions must be completed before a document can be shipped, they are automatically generated through the shipping process. The program uses the warehouse requirements defined for an outbound transaction's assigned location to determine the warehouse documents created from this page.

> The **Order Shipping** page does not display open documents. A document must be released before it appears on this page.

## Steps

1. In the search box, enter **Order Shipping**, and then choose the related link.
2. Select the outbound transaction you want to ship.

If you are shipping outbound transactions in a three-document location, you can select several lines.
3. On the **Navigate** tab, in the **Order** group, choose **Ship**.

A page on which you can enter shipping information is displayed. The page that appears depends on how the outbound transaction's assigned location is set up:

Alternatively, create a staged pick in a three-document location. For more information, see [Pick items with a warehouse staged pick](/business-central/docs/bc-pick-items-with-a-warehouse-staged-pick).
  - For one-document locations, the source document appears.
  - For two-document locations, the **Inventory Pick** page appears.
  - For three-document locations, the **Warehouse Shipment** page appears.
4. Fill in shipping information for the transaction lines.

If you are shipping items in a one-document bin-controlled location, move items to the location's shipment bin before posting the order shipment.

If you are shipping items in a three-document location, create and register a directed pick before posting the warehouse shipment.
5. Post the shipping document.

The outbound transaction is deleted from the **Order Shipping** page when all items on it are fully shipped.

> Posting outbound transactions on the **Order Shipping** page only posts shipments. Invoice orders directly from the source documents.
