Scheduling Shipping Manifests Manually

If you do not set up your system for Auto Manifest Scheduling, you can manually add tickets and schedule all delivery times for a manifest. You can edit manually scheduled manifests, as you do auto-scheduled manifests.

On the Shipping Manifest Queue window, edit open manifests and do the following:

When manually entering or scanning orders to the manifest, sort the paper shipping tickets in the order you want to add them to the manifest to avoid having to resort from the Shipping Manifest Queue. Recall open manifests by entering the manifest number or by entering the ship via, ship date, and ship branch and then selecting a matching manifest from a displayed list.

If a manifest is locked, and the Do Not Allow Editing Of A Locked Manifestcontrol maintenance record is set to Yes, you cannot add or delete tickets from the manifest. If the Set Print Status When Order Placed On Manifestcontrol maintenance record is set, the system updates an order's print status to the setting in the record when you place the order on a manifest. If you already printed the order, or the order's print status is M, the system does not update the order's print status.

To attach a signature to a manifest, see Attaching Images to Solar Eclipse Records.
