Ready-to-Ship Mode
Ready-to-Ship Mode is a shipping workflow in the ShipHawk Web Portal TMS that allows shippers to perform pack verification and label printing for “ready to ship” orders. Ready to ship orders do not require additional data input prior to verifying items and requesting a shipping label. A shipper can use a barcode scanner and skip data entry to quickly process, print labels and fulfill orders that are ready to ship.
You can access ready to ship mode in one of two ways:
Open the Orders drop-down menu, click Ready-to-ship Mode.
Go to the Order Details page and click the Switch to Ready-to-Ship Mode button on the left sidebar.
Find Order Screen
The Find Order Screen is the first screen that appears when a user navigates to Ready-to-Ship Mode. You can scan or enter an Order or License Plate Number from this screen. If you manually enter the order number on your keyboard, press Enter to populate the order on the screen.
If the order you scanned or entered cannot be found, ShipHawk TMS displays an error message
If the order cannot be fulfilled in the Ready-to-Ship mode, ShipHawk TMS displays a warning message:
Verify Items Screen (Optional)
If your organization has enabled the pack verification setting as part of your fulfillment workflow, the Verify Items screen will appear after you have entered a valid order. If the Verify Items setting is off, this screen will not be part of your shipping workflow, and it will skip to the Print Labels screen.
Use this screen to verify items in the package. If you scan the correct SKU or UPC, the item on the list will be marked as verified with a green checkmark:
The Verify Items screen contains a Footer with links to actions you can take from this screen:
Start Over: Use this link to return to the Find Order screen and start your workflow over.
View/Edit Order: Use this link to update the dimensions of your order from this screen. After your order is updated, you can continue verifying all the items in your order.
Help: Use this link to access help resources to assist you with pack verification.
When all items are verified, ShipHawk TMS automatically books the proposed shipment and generates the associated shipping documentation.
Print Labels Screen
When the order is found and ready to be shipped, ShipHawk TMS books the proposed shipment, and you will be directed to the Print Labels screen. Once a proposed shipment is booked, ShipHawk TMS sends the associated shipping documents to your connected printer(s).
All label formats and printer setting presets are honored in Ready-to-Ship mode. You can print your documents in the following combinations:
Label/BOL only;
Label/BOL + Packing Slip;
Label/BOL + Packing Slip + Carton Label.
These settings are configured from the Settings menu under the Printing tab.
ShipHawk TMS returns the user to the Find Order screen after the shipment is booked and the labels have been printed. You can take further actions under the Shipment Complete widget from the Find Order screen:
