The Shipping module is built to manage the shipment of orders through a third-party logistics provider (LSP’s). It is designed to prepare and control the shipping of pallets of products (stock) that have already been picked and checked out. You can use the Shipping module to create waybills and packing lists to be given to a third-party logistics provider (LSPs) (shipper/courier) or by using your trucks to deliver the stock.

When the Shipping TrackIDs are almost ready to be dispatched their dimensions and mass must be updated. The Dimensions and Mass modules (available on PC or HTML) will be used for this. You have the option to manually enter the scale mass of the current box or you can configure this plugin to fetch the scaled mass from a physical scale.
