Book Shipment

This interface is designed for merchants that make use of the picklists feature. This interface allows you to schedule shipments for only those goods whose status has been changed to 'Found' using a picklist. This interface makes it easy to schedule shipments for a single order one by one.

The shipments can be scheduled with either an integrated logistics service provider or a bespoke supplier.

The appropriate shipments will be put to the 'Waiting for Pickup' orders list after the shipment has been scheduled.


How to book shipment using picklist?

The following is the method for booking shipments using picklists:

  1. The end users are the ones who place the orders.

  2. The order allocation service assigns the order to a store location/warehouse based on the relevant rules, and then that store location/inventory warehouse's of the ordered items is reduced.

  3. Authorized orders are assigned to the appropriate warehouses.

  4. After receiving orders, the warehouses/store prepare picklists.

  5. A Picker will be assigned to each picklist throughout the creation process, and he or she will be responsible for choosing the products from the appropriate shelves.

  6. After picking the things, the picker should double-check the items picked.

  7. The picking confirmed items status will be updated to 'Found.'

  8. Fetch the items that have been confirmed as selected. The merchant can choose which items to dispatch.

  9. The merchant must choose a logistic service provider and fill in the remaining details before clicking 'Ship.' The corresponding order/item will be added to the 'Waiting for Pickup' list.
