Setting Up and Generating Commodity Shipment Files

You can generate commodity shipment files, in CSV format, for items that you want to ship to an international destination. You can generate the file for one or more fulfillment records in Packed status.

To set up and generate commodity shipment files:

To set up commodity shipment, access the WMS Printer Driver and Carrier Integrator application. Then, on the Configuration Settings window of this application, make sure you set the following fields:
- ShipManifest ID
- CommodityShipment ID
- International Shipment
- Get ShipMent Data
- WorldShip Path
- Label Path
- Interval
For instructions, see Configuring the WMS Printer Driver and Carrier Integrator Application.
If you manually pack orders, pack the items, using the NetSuite UI, that you have picked through a mobile device.

NetSuite automatically creates a WMS Commodity Shipment record for items to be shipped to a different country. It assigns one record to each fulfillment in Packed status.

For more information about packing orders, see Manually Packing Orders and Printing Packing Lists.
Start the WMS Printer Driver application to transmit the data and generate the shipment file.

NetSuite generates one commodity shipment file for all available WMS Commodity Shipment records. It stores the shipment file in the folder that you set up in the Label Path field. You can access this folder and find the following file: commoditydata.csv.

For more information about starting the application, see Starting the WMS Printer Driver and Carrier Integrator Application.
Update the WMS Commodity Shipment records for the fulfillments included in the generated file by doing the following:
1. To access commodity shipment records, in the NetSuite global search field, enter WMS Commodity Shipment.
2. From the results, click Page: WMS Commodity Shipment to open the list.
3. On the WMS Commodity Shipment page, check the Status Flag box.
4. Click Save.
When checked, this status prevents the same order from appearing in multiple commodity shipment files. Repeat this step to update other records.
