Introduction

When processing shipments, the SureShip Console can be used to enter shipment options to be communicated to carriers, printed on a Bill of Lading’s (BOL) shipping documentation, or stored for future reference. This step of the packing and shipping procedure occurs after unit packaging and before shipping service selection.

This article describes the tabs and fields used to capture various types of shipment information.
