Use the Shipping Manifest Report to create a list of orders being shipped to multiple customers from multiple branches, using one or more ship vias. The report content is grouped by customer and lists the orders being shipped and the terms of delivery. The report serves as an acknowledgement, or a receipt of orders for shipping.
Unlike a bill of lading, the shipping manifest does not specify the individual products being shipped, nor does it include hazard class information. To track all shipments for a specific ship via and to print a manifest for a single ship via, such as a company truck or a commercial carrier, use the Shipping Manifest Queue.
For a description of the report, see What the Report Shows at the end of the topic.
To run the Shipping Manifest Report:
From the Orders > Reports > Delivery Reports menu, select Shipping Manifest to display the Shipping Manifest Report window.
In the Branch/Territory field, enter the branches and territories you want to include in the report.
Separate multiple branches or territories by commas. Type All to include all branches and territories in the report.
In the Start Date field, enter the first date in the range you want to include in the report.
In the End Date field, enter the last date in the range you want to include in the report.
For example, if you want the report to include all shipments in December 2005, enter 12/01/2005 in the Start Date field and 12/31/05 in the End Date field.
In the Customer field, enter or select a customer name to limit the report to include only shipments made to that customer.
Leave the Customer field blank to include shipments to all customers.
In the Ship Via field, enter or select a shipping method to limit the report to show only shipments made using that method.
Leave the Ship Via field blank to include all shipping methods.
In the Select Order Status field, enter or select an order in process status, such as Picked or Manifest to limit the report to include only orders with a particular status.
Leave the Select Order Status field blank to include all statuses.
In the Set Order Status to field, enter or select the in-process status you want the orders included in the report changed to after you run the report.
Leave the Set Order Status to field blank to leave the status for the orders in the report unchanged.
