Description
This program prepares shipping for title and ad pre-print inserts/adinserts.
If the ad insert order (IS-M/AM) is not active, ad pre-prints are sentbased on the IS-M/SD ad pre-print order.
If the ad insert order is active, ad inserts are sent based on this.

Data updated
The program prepares shipping: that is to say, is updates the insertmixes for deliveries for a shipping date for which packing was not yetperformed and selects an indicator (JVTLFNG) stating that this hastaken place. Shipping preparation does not change deliveries for whichpacking was already performed. Deliveries for delta coverage anddistribution of ad pre-prints/ad inserts are not included in shippingpreparation.
The insert mixes (JVTBLGAUS) and insert combinations (JVTBLGZUS)determined are also updated. Shipping preparation can create a newinsert mix or combination and if the program is repeated for the sameshipping date, it can also delete or copy these objects. An insert mixor combination cannot be deleted if the following apply:
- The insert mix has already been sent
- Packing was already performed for the delivery
- The insert mix is still used in a delivery for a plant or
delivery type that was not selected.
If the ad insert order is active, an assignment of the insert mix tothe ad insert order is updated (JVTSIBLZUO). The program also selectsthe indicator 'Shipping started' in the ad insert order or cancels itin the deletion run.

Selection criteria
The shipping preparation report for title and ad pre-print insertsselects deliveries (not ad pre-print deliveries) for the shipping datefor which packing has not yet taken place. Selection can be restrictedto deliveries for certain plants, editions and logistical deliverytypes.
You can either enter the shipping date or have the system determine it.To do the latter, you can select the parameter 'Determine next shippingdate'. If the system is unable to determine one shipping date, shippingpreparation does not take place. You should therefore only have thesystem determine the date automatically if your selection criteriaallow one date to be determined. It is possible to determine one dateif the function 'Set shipping date' was last performed for the sameshipping date or if it was also performed with automatic determinationof the next shipping date for the selection criteria.
If is also possible to delete insert mixes that have been determined. Adeletion run deletes the insert mixes in the deliveries together withthe indicator denoting that shipping preparation was performed. Insertmixes/combinations are also deleted if no criteria apply to preventthis (see above).
If the ad insert order is active, the deletion run deletes theassignments of the ad insert order to the insert mix and cancels theindicator 'Shipping started' in the ad insert order.
Other parameters allow you to have the report executed as a test run(without database updates) and to choose a compact list (onlydisplaying the insert mixes/combinations without deliveries anddelivery assignments).

Important differences in meaning of closing date for shippingpreparation if the ad insert order is active or inactive:
Ad insert order active:
Shipping preparation can also be started before the closing date (forthe carrying edition) is reached, meaning that the insert mix can begenerated 'in advance'. If shipping preparation is started again for aparticular shipping date for which it has already been performed, thereport only selects ad insert orders for which the indicator 'Shippingstarted' is not yet selected. (Insert mixes are not deleted and createdagain in a normal run - insert mix deletion must be started explicitlyusing the deletion run.)
Ad insert order inactive:
Shipping preparation can only be started if the closing date (for allcarrying editions) has already been reached. If preparation is startedagain for a shipping date for which is has already been performed,insert mixes are deleted and created again if deletion is allowed (seeabove).

Precondition

The following data must be maintained:
There must be deliveries for which packing has not been performed thatmatch the selection criteria.
If the ad insert order is not active, the function 'Set shipping date'must already have been performed for all the selected deliveries.

The following processing activities cannot be performed in parallel toshipping preparation for title and ad pre-print insertion:
- Reorganization of quantity planning
- Netchange of quantity planning
- Editing deliveries
- Shipping preparation for insertion/distribution/delta coverage
