To schedule a shipping manifest manually:If you do not set up your system for Auto Manifest Scheduling, manually add tickets and schedule all delivery times for a manifest. On the Shipping Manifest Queue screen, edit open manifests and do the following:
Add new orders by entering order numbers or scanning order bar codes from a shipping ticket.
Remove orders.
Reschedule delivery times.
Reassign drivers.
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 Manifest control maintenance record is set to Yes, you cannot add or delete tickets from the manifest. If the Set Print Status When Order Placed On Manifest control 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 Eclipse Records.
To schedule a shipping manifest manually:From the Whse Mgt > Warehouse Queues menu, select Shipping Manifest Queue to display the Shipping Manifest Queue screen.

In the Ship Branch field, enter the branch from where the delivery originates.

Field |
Description |
|
Start Time |
The time the truck is scheduled to leave the warehouse. If this manifest is for a common carrier, enter the time the carrier is scheduled to arrive at the warehouse. If a delivery start time is defined for the ship via in the Ship Via Delivery Route Information screen, that time displays. Update the time for this manifest, if necessary. |
|
First Delivery |
The time the truck is scheduled to arrive at the first stop. If a first delivery time is defined for the ship via in the Ship Via Delivery Route Information screen, that time displays. Update the time for this manifest, if necessary. |
|
Delivery Interval |
The average time between delivery stops. If a delivery interval is defined for the ship via in the Ship Via Delivery Route Information screen, that interval is used between stops. If no interval is defined, the system defaults to 15 minutes between each stop. Update the interval if necessary. |
Use the AutoSched hot key to enable or disable the automatic scheduling of tickets that are manually added to the manifest.
If set to On and you add a ticket to the manifest, the system calculates the delivery time and stop number for the ticket.
If set to Off, you must schedule all delivery stops manually. When you add a ticket to the manifest, the system adds the ticket where the cursor is positioned on the manifest, and creates a new stop if the ship-to address does not match that of the prior order on the manifest.
Complete the manifest as you would a system-scheduled manifest.
Note: Use the RelPk hot key to release picks to the RF Picking Queue. The system warns you if you try to release a manifest before locking it.
