Basic process

• Create order
• Create parcel for order
• Create label for parcel
• Create & send manifest

From this point on, things are pretty much automatic. Tracking is received from the carrier, and orders and parcels have their relevant statuses updated as necessary.

Detailed processes and variations

Create orders

• Upload the order details
• Include carrier allocation filter/requirements
• May also include creation of parcels

Create parcels

• Create parcels for an existing order (order items should be included)
• Create parcels without an order
• Carrier may be assigned automatically
• Can include allocation filter/requirements

Create labels

• Carrier may be assigned automatically
• Only works on allocated parcels
• Can include allocation filter/requirements

Create manifests

• By default, only parcels despatching today will be manifested
• Future manifests (notifications) can occur if configured
• Can include partially printed consignments
• Partially printed consignments could be split (unprinted allocated parcels are re-allocated to a new consignment)
