# Creating a Shipment from an Activity

> [!WARNING]
> **NOTE:** The features mentioned in this article are only available in the Industrial Edition of Quantify.

When Activities are enabled on a Job Site, an Activity must be assigned to each delivery or return Shipment created for a Scaffold assigned to the Job Site. For this reason, you must [create the Activity](https://avontus.document360.io/docs/adding-an-activity-to-a-scaffold) before creating the Shipment.

To create a Shipment from an Activity:

1. Click the **Scaffold Register** tab, then click the appropriate **Scaffold**.

2. Click the **Activities** tab, then click the **Activity** that will be associated with the new shipment.
3. Click the **Shipment** dropdown and select either **Create Delivery for Selected Activity** or **Create Return for Selected Activity**. The *New Direct Ship* dialog appears, with the Activity pre-selected in the **Activity** field. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/ae69c864-58f0-4711-91e1-d1c2f7dff95f/Images/Documentation/image-LRTGFEZU.png)

Note: If you are creating the Shipment from the Details grid of the **Shipping** tab, click the dropdown list of existing Activities for the Scaffold and select the **Activity**.
