Seals and license plates

From the handheld or from Outbound › Shipments, in Seals and license plates, enter one or more seal numbers and confirm the license plates. If Require a seal to dispatch is enabled in Settings › Operating rules › Operations › Shipments, dispatch stops with "Enter the seal number" until it is entered.

Dispatch

Dispatch closes the shipment:

  • The pallets change to Shipped.
  • If the When stock leaves option in Settings › Operating rules › Operations › Outbound is set to When the shipment is dispatched, the inventory of its pick lists is deducted at that moment and not when the pick list is finished.
  • The shipment.dispatched notification is sent to the subscribed integrations.

If packages remain to be loaded, Chainlink responds "Cannot dispatch: 3 packages remain to be loaded." Only a user with the shipments.override permission (supervisors have it) can dispatch in that case, entering the reason. The reason and the missing packages are recorded in the shipment history.

Manifest

Print manifest opens a sheet with the shipment barcode, the carrier, the vehicle, the seals, each package with its document and weight, and the signature lines for the person delivering, the carrier and the person receiving.
