Outbound Shipment
The Outbound Shipment object in Cloudy Business Ops 360 represents the final step in the order fulfillment process — the physical movement of goods from your warehouse to the customer or destination.
It captures shipping details, logistics provider information, tracking numbers, and links back to the corresponding Sales Order and Order Fulfillment record, enabling full visibility of the shipment process. To learn how to create an Outbound Shipment in the system, see the Outbound Shipment Creation section below.
