Create a Shipment

Create a shipment

Typically, when you need freight shipped, you create an order, select a carrier rate, and then Corsair creates a shipment.

But, what if you have freight to ship where you want to use the same carrier and there are multiple drops. In that situation, you can just create a shipment directly that includes the multiple drops. Otherwise, you'd spend valuable time creating separate orders and then consolidating them into one shipment.

  2. In the top right corner of the page, select New Shipment.

    Note

    If you want to create more than one shipment, at the bottom of the page, enter the number of shipments in the Copies field.

  4. Select Create Shipment for ....

    Note

    • The Details for Shipment page displays for the new shipment.

    • The new shipment has Planning shipment status.

See the "New Shipment Field Descriptions" below for more information about the new shipment fields.
