Generating Labels Through Bulk Shipping

You can generate shipping labels in bulk at the same time for shipments or orders with complete shipping addresses and other such details. You can process domestic and international shipments in a batch, regardless of the carriers, shipping addresses, and shipping methods. The app updates the associated item fulfillments with the tracking number and shipping cost. It also sets them to Shipped status. For information about preparing your sales orders for shipping, see Ship Central Shipping.

You can include up to 10 shipments in a batch for bulk shipping at a time. As with the regular shipping flow, you cannot combine orders packed through the app and NetSuite UI in the same batch. After you start processing orders through bulk shipping, you can’t access them through the regular shipping flow anymore.

If you want to include international shipments, be sure to set the correct tax and billing details. For more information, see International Shipping Setup for Ship Central.

Bulk shipping doesn’t include additional shipping options that you may have enabled for the regular shipping flow. For more information, see NetSuite Ship Central FAQs.

To generate labels through bulk shipping:

  1. From the Options menu, tap Bulk Shipping.

  2. On the Menu page, tap either Sales Order or Transfer Order.

  3. To include up to 10 shipments to a batch, do one of the following:

    • In the Scan/Enter Shipment field, scan or enter each shipment number, order number, or UCC. If you packed the sales orders through the app, you can also provide the pack carton or pallet ID.

    • From the Shipments table, tap the box next to one or more shipments that you want to process.

      Before you include shipments in Started status, make sure that the associated orders have no issues. You can view issues in the Error column as described in step 5.

      Tip:

      To process orders packed through the NetSuite UI, you can tap the table icon to open the popup window. In the Packed Through field, select NetSuite UI. Then, tap Done to close the popup window.

  4. Tap Submit.

  5. On the Print popup window, do the following:

    1. Select the printer, template, and number of copies.

    2. To print or save, tap Print.

    For international shipments, the app prints the related documents automatically.

    The app updates Item fulfillments associated with the successfully processed shipments or orders to Shipped status.

  6. In case an issue occurs for one or more shipments, you can do the following:

    1. From the Shipments table, you can search for the shipment number with a Started status.

      Tip:

      To sort shipments with issues in Started status, tap the Ship Status column.

    2. In the Error column, tap the error link.

    3. On the NetSuite UI page that appears, you can view the error details.

      If you want to access item fulfillments or orders associated with the shipments, see Viewing Packing and Shipment Details.

    4. After you update incorrect or missing shipping details, you can repeat from step 2 to retry processing the shipments again.

      When you select the updated shipments, you can include other ones to process in the new batch.
