Freight Manifest System

When sales orders are placed, by use of the Sales Order System in FAS, they identify the method of payment, items to ship, address, method of shipment, etc.  Warehouse stock transfers (from the Inventory System in FAS) are entered that identify the items to ship to another warehouse of your company.  This information is then referenced by the shipping department after picking the items reported on the respective picking tickets.

The shipping clerk supplies the sales order or transfer number to the manifest shipment entry program.  The program pulls the shipping address with the zip code and translates it to a zone.  The shipping clerk identifies how many of each item are being shipped and in which box by number.  This gives the ability to calculate the declared value charge by box.  The weight of each box and whether or not to acknowledge when it's delivered (AOD) is entered.  All charges are calculated and shown on the screen.  At the press of a button, the program prints box labels and gets ready for the next shipment.

Sales order invoicing now may reference this information for automatic inclusion of the waybill number, number of boxes, box contents, weight of the shipment, and total charges.  All of this information is reported on the invoice to complete a detailed explanation of the shipment for your customer.

When the UPS driver comes for the regular pick up, the shipping clerk select the UPS manifest report program.  Within seconds, the UPS pickup record is printed and ready for the driver.

At the end of the day a posting report is produced that shows all shipments for all carriers.  This report is filed in a binder to complete a shipping journal audit trail.  Each report is assigned a unique serial number that will immediately show if previous registers have not been filed properly in the hardcopy binder.

Call tag shipments continue to show on the daily shipping report until they have been received from UPS.
