To indicate types and amounts of shipping packages:Use the following shipping manifest views to track packages, loading, time, and monetary information for all manifests:
The Shipping Packages view is the default. Use this view to indicate the types and numbers of packages on the manifest for delivery personnel. The delivery person then knows what kind of packages and how many of each they need to deliver on each order.
Note: In the Valid Package Types control maintenance record, define up to four package types, such as Boxes, Bags, Cartons, and Pallets, to display in the Shipping Manifest Queue screen.
To indicate types and amounts of shipping packages:From the Whse Mgt > Warehouse Queues menu, select Shipping Manifest Queue to display the Shipping Manifest Queue screen.
In the Manifest # field, enter the manifest to view.
Leave this field blank to search for an existing manifest based on any combination of entries in the Ship Via, Ship Date, and Ship Branch fields.
Under each package column header, enter the number of the packages for each order.
For example, stop one on the shipping manifest may be a delivery of four boxes to a customer, and stop two may be a delivery of one carton to a different customer. Under each package column, enter the number of packages for each order to help the delivery personnel deliver the right material.
The system displays the totals for the package types at the bottom of the screen.
The Expected Time view shows the expected delivery time entered in the Order Entry Status screen's Delv Time field (Delivery Times view), but only if this time was manually changed.
