Manifest Processor Overview

Use the Manifest Processor companion product to electronically attach delivery-confirmation signatures to their invoices in the Eclipse system. The application works with conventional paper-based manifests that you scan after signatures are collected. Using the scanned manifest images, the application electronically attaches signatures by reading barcodes printed with each signature line on a manifest, and using the barcodes to identify to which invoices signatures need to be attached.

Using Manifest Processor is simple:

Create paper-based manifests for deliveries. When printing the manifests, use the barcode format to print barcodes for each order or stop on the manifest.
When delivering, collect all signatures on the paper-based manifests.
At the end of the day, scan each manifest and save the images in a special manifest processor directory.
Use the Manifest Processor application to crop out each signature on a manifest and attach the signature to the appropriate invoice on the Eclipse system. You can process a single manifest image separately or all manifest images in the Manifest Processor directory simultaneously.
In the Eclipse system, access the signature directly from its invoice. From the invoice, print, fax, e-mail, or copy the signature, as needed.

If the application cannot process a manifest signature, it prompts you that a misread error occurred. Following the application's directions, identify the reason why the signature could not be processed and manually select the signature to attach it to its invoice.

Manifest Processor electronically files all manifest signatures with their appropriate invoices. You no longer need to spend time filing or searching for signed manifests, or run the risk of losing paper-based confirmation signatures.

Before using Manifest Processor, make sure to complete all setup tasks.
