Shipping

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.

Picked stock must be added to a Shipping TrackID (identify a Shipping TrackID by the 'S' prefixed') before it can be dispatched – you can see a Shipping TrackID as a 'carrier pallet' on which you place picked stock.  Each Shipping TrackID is a unique entity for which transaction history is recorded.  These TrackID labels are generated during the checkout process.  It can be used for loading the Shipping entity onto one of your trucks or a 3rd party logistic transport method, along with a Waybill or Bill of Lading document.  These documents are also generated within the WMS as part of the Shipping process.  The highly configurable Shipping module allows for both fixed and flexible loading. The module is also flexible enough to allow products from different pick slips for the same customer on the same Shipping TrackID or to split pick slips (for the same customer) over various shipments.
