The Parcel Manifest is used to view and manage parcels assigned to a route stop. It displays all existing parcels for a stop, whether the parcel was created on the stop or chained to the stop. Parcels are assigned to route stops manually through the Operations App, Driver App, Client Portal, or automatically via the ASN import file process.

Quick Tips

  • Use the filter option to filter which parcels appear in the parcel manifest by going to File > Filter and selecting between Show All, Scanned, Over, or Short.

  • When using the right-click menu, make sure that the parcel is selected and the row is highlighted blue.

Colors

  • Black - Expected, but not yet scanned.

  • Blue - Expected and scanned.

  • Red - Overage scanned.
