Parcel Manifest
- Michelle Cabaya (Unlicensed)
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 X Dispatch, Nextstop, X Mobile, X Internet, Rapidship or automatically via the ASN import file process.
For X Mobile Users
If parcels are modified on a route that has already been downloaded by delivery personnel via X Mobile, the route must be downloaded again to get the latest changes.
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 highlighted blue.
