Fulfilling a Shipment Batch

To begin fulfilling a shipment batch on Jedora Partner Central, the first step is always to print out the shipment batch picklist and the pack list.

These papers are essential to preparing a shipment batch. The picklist will inform you of what items you will need to pull from your warehouse, and the pack list tells you how to assemble each of the shipments in the shipment batch.

After printing these out, assemble all the items listed on the pick list and grab the packaging that you will need to create the orders before proceeding to the next step.

Move on to the shipment groups section and select a shipment group to begin fulfilling orders. There are five steps in the fulfillment shipment workflow. Complete all five of the steps for all the shipment groups within a batch to complete the shipment batch.

Step 1: Pack Shipments

The first step will be packing the shipments.

Keep in mind these specific circumstances as you proceed.

If the shipment will fit in one package, proceed to the next step.
If the shipment will not fit in one package, it is possible to move the items to separate packages. Click the three dots next to the item, then select “Multi-Package” from the drop-down menu. By clicking this, you will create multiple package options for you to sort items into.
If you are unable to locate one of the items for shipment, click the three dots next to the item in question, then select “Move to Shipment.” By selecting this, you separate this item out into a separate package. Doing so ensures that you have time to locate the item without holding back the rest of the shipment.
Click Continue to proceed to the next step.

Step 2: Measure Packages

Once you are on the Measure Packages step…

Click the Select All button beneath the heading that says Sales Shipment. If you do this, it will apply the measurements of the package (length, width, height, and weight) to all packages in this group.
Click Edit Measurements in the bottom right corner of the page. If you have created package presets already (learn how to do that in our guide on Shipping Settings article), all you will need to do is select the package preset for that type of package.
After entering the length, width, and height of the package, weigh the package and enter its precise weight into the field.
Select Apply to apply the following measurements to all packages in this group.
Click Save and then Continue to proceed to the next step.

Step 3: Select Delivery Services

Once you are on the Select Delivery Services step…

Keep the Service Optimization Rule set on Standard- Lowest Price to secure the lowest delivery service rate while ensuring that the package arrives on time to your customers.
Check that the ship date is correct, then select Create Delivery Services.
Wait as the delivery service prices are calculated and loaded on the screen. Once the Confirm Order button is enabled in the bottom right corner, review the sales shipment section to confirm that the postal service and cost of shipping is acceptable.
If both the postal service and cost of shipping are acceptable, select the Confirm Order button to proceed to the next step.

Step 4: Purchase Delivery Service

When you arrive on the Purchase Delivery Services step of the workflow, the progress spinner will be visible on the page as it confirms the purchase of the delivery service. Once it stops spinning, you will know that the delivery service has been purchased.

After the information has been loaded onto the page, tracking numbers for each of the packages will be provided. Review these to make sure that the information is correct, then select Continue in the bottom right corner of the screen.

Step 5: Print Shipment Documents

Printing the shipment documents is the fifth and final step of the fulfillment workflow.

Scroll down to Package Documents. First, you will print out a packing slip. A packing slip is included inside the package, and it indicates the contents of the package to the customer. The packing slip also includes a return and exchange form.
Next, print out the package labels. Feel free to change how the package labels are formatted before you print by selecting the pencil icon and choosing one of the following options: one per page, two per page, or 4x6 label.
While editing the formatting, you can also decide to include or exclude the order context, which will help you identify the packing labels.
Do not forget to remove the order context before it is affixed to the package.
After printing both the packing slips and the package labels, you can return to the Shipment Batch Information page by clicking Exit in the bottom right hand corner.

Congratulations! You’ve made it through the workflow for one of the shipment groups in this shipment batch. If more groups remain in your batch, you’ll need to go through this workflow for the remaining groups that need fulfillment.

After all groups have been fulfilled, you have successfully completed your shipment batch!
