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. |
