Shipping Management with M1 ERP

M1 Shipping Management is a pivotal tool for managing all of your outgoing deliveries. It lets you process shipments to a customer quickly and easily by pulling the shipping data from either a job or a sales order.

Ship from Work-In-Process (WIP)

• Get the convenience of shipping goods directly from a WIP
• No need to transfer manufactured items to inventory before delivery

Shipping labels

• Save time by printing your shipping labels when you process a customer’s shipment
• Customise your labels to suit your unique business requirements

Packing slips

• Print your packing slips as you process your customer’s shipment to reduce errors and avoid delays in deliveries
• With a push of a button, packing slips can be printed, faxed, or emailed

Ship complete

• Sales orders are automatically updated to reflect partial or complete shipments
• Partial shipments can be processed, allowing you to show the remaining delivery quantity as on back order
• Shipments from WIP update the job quantities

Miscellaneous shipments

• Create shipments for miscellaneous items 
• Eliminate the need to raise an order 
• Quickly and easily add extra items to a shipment

Add freight

A freight charge may be added when you create a shipment. This charge is then transferred through to the customer’s invoice, reducing data entry time.

Reports

All standard reports can be customised and new Reports can be created and integrated with M1 using Crystal Reports software. Create custom certificates of conformance, custom invoices, commercial invoices, and shipping labels to provide all the shipping documentation that your customers require.
