Manual Shipment Additions

To ship items that are not sold through a sales order, you can manually add shipments without entering a sales order. On the Shipment Revisions form, you complete all of the information that is required to set up a shipment, including origin, destination, address book number, and weight or volume. After the information is entered, you can select routing options and view the estimated billable charges as though this shipment had been created from a sales order.

You can also use this function to estimate freight charges for a customer. To determine the freight charges for a shipment, you create a shipment but do not record the shipment information in the system. After generating a quote for a customer, you can then create the order in sales order management if doing so is appropriate.
