Introduction


Intelligent Shipper allows shipments to be cancelled up until the point of close out or scheduled close out via clean sweep functionality. Once a shipment has been closed and manifested it can no longer be cancelled. Shipments that have been cancelled can be reinstated within the first 24 hours of cancellation.
This manual instructs Customer users how to cancel shipments via GUI that have not been closed out.

  3. Click "View Shipments" of a carrier in the shipment processing screen.

Close Out

Before shipments are handed over to the carrier they must be closed out in the system. This finalises the shipment so that it can no longer be edited and generates the paperwork required by the carrier (e.g. manifest). For more information on closing out shipments see the Manifest & Closeout manual.

Customer User

The core users of the system who will be creating, processing and closing out shipments. This user role will be assigned to a customer account. Please check the user roles manual for further reference.

Clean Sweep

A process that runs at set days and times configured in the maintenance screens to automatically close out any outstanding shipments for a customer that have not yet been closed. This is only available for Royal Mail shipments only and it does not include other carriers.
