A few fields on the Warehouse Shipment resemble a lot fields that currently exist on the Sales Order: External Document No., Shipping Agent Code, Shipping Agent Service Code.
When creating a Warehouse Shipment out of a Sales Order (Action Create Whse Shipment on Sales Header), BC should bring these 3 fields over from the Sales Order (External Document No., Shipping Agent Code, Shipping Agent Service Code).

We have had to have a Mod to do this as well, specifically as we interface to carriers and need to know which carrier to send the record too. Also when the Carrier goes to book in the shipment to the customers WH, they have to provide the external ref number to the customer, which is not carried to the shipment line record, (even though teh field is there), again another mod.

We do this modification all the time and include also the ship agent and service.
The reason however it does not transfer over stock is that the warehouse shipment can be for multiple sales order and each could have different ship methods per past Microsoft requests.

Additional comment:
External Document No. is successfully transferred from SO to Whse Shipment during the creation process.
The field that is missing is Shipping Method Code (as well as Shipping Agent Code and Shipping Agent Service).
