Shipment Confirmation
General Information
This screen is used to control and confirm the shipment of
groups of packages. It provides a "last minute" checking routine
for packages to be scanned and readied for shipment. The Shipment
Confirmation Screen can be accessed from either the Batch Order
Processing screen automatically at Stage 10, Shipping, or
selectively from the Warehouse
Manager's Station with the SHIP BATCH button. The latter is
only available if the Advanced
Warehouse Module is installed.
How to Use the Screen
This screen contains a list of all boxes that are ready for
shipment. Only boxes for those orders or order segments that have
passed through all preceding stages of order processing can be in
this list. By moving each box from the Ready for Shipment to the Confirmed for Shipment column, you are
actually confirming each physical box that is to be shipped. You
can confirm as many boxes as you want from the list. Only those
moved to the Confirmed for
Shipment column are actually considered shipped when the
PRINT/SHIP button is pressed.
-
If you accessed the screen from the Warehouse Manager's Station,
select to work on a specific batch previously assigned using the
FOR BATCH pull-down menu. To work on all batches, select "All." If
you accessed the screen from the Batch Order Processing function,
you cannot make a selection. It defaults to "All Shipping
Methods."
-
To ship only boxes for a specific shipping method or shipping
carrier, use the SHIPPING METHOD pull-down menu to select the
shipping method, shipping carrier or select "All Methods."
-
Optionally, if you have the Advanced Warehouse Module and are
using multiple warehouses, use the WAREHOUSE pull-down menu to
select a specific warehouse or "All Warehouses."
-
To confirm shipment with a hand-held scanner hooked up to your
workstation, scan the barcode shipping label on each box. The box
moves from the Ready to
Ship column to the Confirmed for Shipment column as you
scan the label. (Barcode printing on shipping labels is setup using
Maintain
Global Parameters - Order Processing Design.)
-
To confirm shipment without a scanner hooked up to your
workstation, select each box in the Ready for Shipment column with your
mouse and either drag & drop the box to the Confirmed for Shipment column, or press
the SHIP button.
-
To confirm all boxes, select the SHIP ALL button.
-
To remove a box from the Confirmed for Shipment column, select
the item, and either drag & drop it with your mouse to the
Ready for Shipment column
or press the DO NOT SHIP BOX button.
-
To remove all boxes from the Confirmed for Shipment column, select
the DO NOT SHIP ALL button.
-
Before you are ready to actually ship the batch, select the
PRINT/SHIP button to display the Report Output
Options pop-up screen to print and/or view a shipping report
for each carrier for the boxes being shipped. Press VIEW or
PRINT.
-
Compare the report to the Confirmed for Shipment column for a
final check. When you are ready to finalize shipment, press EXIT on
the Report Output Options screen and answer YES, to the prompt Were
SHIPPING MANIFESTS Successfully Printed. Only at this point are the
boxes actually considered shipped and the shipping files for any
Shipping System
Interfaces are created.
-
To exit the screen without shipping,
press CANCEL.
Note: If boxes have been confirmed for
shipment from the Shipment Confirmation screen and then saved.
The
next time a user goes into the Shipment Confirmation screen the
confirmed boxes are still confirmed.
If
new boxes are confirmed for shipment and the Cancel button is hit,
a message will appear instructing the user that the current session
of box confirmations will be canceled.
