After creating shipment plan through MWS feed, not sure how to create shipment

I am a little stuck and confused on something. I read through the following API which details how to create an FBA inbound shipment "plan" by using Amazon's MWS feed API

I used the following template from Amazon to create the shipment plan flat file

Great. I successfully implemented the API and used _POST_FLAT_FILE_FBA_CREATE_INBOUND_PLAN_ to submit the flat file to MWS for processing. All works well, and I see my new shipment plan in the plan's list, and it returns me back a Plan ID.

I just don't know what to do next. I want to now create a shipment from that plan, with all of the items in it (no modifications). The document suggests I use _POST_FLAT_FILE_FBA_CREATE_INBOUND_SHIPMENT_, but I can't find any details on what template to use for it, or how I even specify the Plan ID that was returned to me from creating the inbound plan.

Can anyone provide some guidance on the "next step" for creating the actual inbound shipment?

The Amazon MWS for FBA Sellers guide recommends using the CreateInboundShipmentPlan and CreateInboundShipment API calls, neither of which needs a flat file. From past experience I strongly recommend not using CSV files if you can avoid it: there are many pitfalls. But if you must, here are XLS files describing both CreateInboundShipmentRequest and UpdateInboundShipmentRequest.
