Batch Import Shipments

Batch Shipments Import View

Batch Shipments Import provides a way to generate information for multiple proposed shipments, which is useful when creating large amounts of new shipments. If you choose to import your existing shipments  via CSV,  the file must be properly formatted so that ShipHawk can correctly add shipments.
