 When the items are ready to be sent (presumably they have been loaded onto some form of transport and are ready to leave the warehouse) they can then be sent (send shipment). At this point the status of the records are changed to "Sent". These records are now locked to prevent any change (except by someone with admin permissions) and a receive inventory record (inv_recv) is created. Each track item record is linked with this receive record, the ownership of this record is set to being the site to where the goods are being sent.
 
-Once the goods have been send a "Waybill" can be printed off. The shipment can be cancelled (presumably the lorries have been called back) or it is possible to confirm that the shipment has been received, this is used if the items are being received by a site which is not using Sahana-Eden to track the goods. If a shipment is cancelled then the status is changed to "cancelled" (no surprises there) and the good are put back into the warehouse. The quantities in each track item are reduced to zero but the original values are added as a comment.

+If a shipment is confirmed as having been received, then the status of the send inventory is changed to "Received" but within the system no warehouse will actually receive the goods (although one hopes that reality is somewhat different).
+
+When the goods arrive at a site a person responsible for the stock can receive the goods. In this case they will select the sent record and then Receive the shipment, The goods in the track items will then be moved into the warehouse stock. If their are matching inventory records then the quantity in those records will be incremented, otherwise a new inventory item record will be created.
+
+Once stock has been received a Goods Received Notice and a Certificate can be printed off. It is also possible to cancel a received shipment, in this case the goods need to come out of the warehouse and effectively back into the track item records.
