HOWTO Shipment

1. Is there good documentation about the shipment process in OFBiz?
So far I just have seen the pages below but they are quite minimalistic:
- -
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Steps+to+process+a+Configurable+Product
- -
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Third+Party+Payment+and+Shipment+Configuration

2. How can a supplier enter tracking numbers for its parcels?
Having a look at the order details in the Order Manager I can create a
new shipment. Looking at the shipment details (via clicking on the
shipment id) I can see the route info for this shipping. But there is no
way to edit anything in the shipment route info.

Possible scenario:
- - the order (shipping group) is split into two shipments
- - shipment 1 contains one parcel, shipment 2 contains two parcels
- - therefore 3 tracking numbers have to be entered

3. Where is/should tracking numbers be stored? What's the purpose of
those two DB columns?
- - order_item_ship_group.tracking_number
- - shipment_package_route_seg.tracking_number

4. How can a customer be provided with links to track the parcels of his
orders?
We want to send an email to the customer whenever the supplier changes
the status of an order. If any tracking numbers are entered the customer
shall be provided links to the dedicated tracking website of a shipping
method.

Regards,
René
