Hello--

We have not yet implemented this, but did do some research in planning to do so. So having said that, for what it's worth, I am hearing that the best way to create Sell Shipments is first to WAIT as long as possible in the process because if you create the Sell-side too early, syncronizing it after changes on the Buy-side is a nightmare. Having said that, then the the thing to do is to look for an OTM event that happens to all Buy-side shipments (such as the status changing to ENROUTE_ENROUTE, for example) and use that to create the Sell-side shipment.
One thing our users want is to have some visibility to what the Sell-side revenue will look like on a buy shipent ASAP, however. Again due to other priorities, we have not fully tested this yet, but I am planning to try building a sell shipment early in the process and have an agent go in and query the cost off that shipment to "harvest" it and apply it as a refnum on the Buy-side, then go in and delete the sell side shipment--planning for it to be permenantly created later in the process. The thing I really have not thought through on that is how / when if we should update the cost stored as the refnum value to keep it in sync as we change various things on the Buy-side.

I know this is not completely thought through, but I hope this helps!
