Infoplus Support

The Ship Parcel Order Desktop App is used by administrators to specify shipping details (when needed) and to ship the order in Infoplus. 

NOTE:  The Shipping Station Mobile Floor App can also be used. The Mobile App is a quick way for warehouse personnel to ship an order in Infoplus at the point when parcels are ready to leave the warehouse. 

The 'Ship Parcel Order" process can only be performed on one order at a time. Once the process is complete, the order will be in a status of "Shipped.".

If an order is to be shipped using a non-parcel carrier, such as LTL (Less than truck load), TL (a full truck load), Will Call (where recipient comes to warehouse to receive the item), local courier, etc., use the Ship a Non-Parcel Order process. For clarification, here are examples of parcel carriers: UPS, FedEx, DHL, USPS, etc. Use the standard process to ship a parcel order when using parcel carriers.  

NOTE: If you need to add a carton to an order that already shipped, do not use this process. See Add a Carton to a Shipped Order.
