Print End of Day Forms

Plans : All Plans Platforms : All platforms

Overview



AfterShip Shipping allows you to create End of Day forms to make the whole shipping process smooth and quick. An end of day manifest is a document that summarizes all the shipments (labels) that were processed during a specific period, usually by the end of a business day. It’s typically used for carrier to confirm which packages are ready for pickup, to track them, and to complete any required shipping documentation.

đź’ˇDifferent carriers use different terms like Shipment manifest, SCAN form, Order Summary, etc. while referring to the End of Day forms.

AfterShip Shipping submits the shipping data electronically and gets a PDF file from carriers in return. Those PDF files can easily be printed and handed over to the driver when required. However, in some cases, you have to connect with carriers due to their contrasting manifest requirements.

Create End of Day forms



Log in to your AfterShip Shipping account.
Navigate to the End of Day section. AfterShip Shipping shows the current date, carrier, and number of open shipments by default. So, don’t forget to make the required changes for the desired results.
Set the date to view shipments with future or past shipping dates.

Only Shipments with USPS, Australia Post, Star Track, DHL eCommerce Asia and Royal Mail carriers will be shown as of now.

Once you find the shipment, click on the Close shipments option.
Close shipments window will appear, in which you’ll see all the shipments selected by default. Choose the ones you wish to close.



Check the Closed tab to verify your closed shipments and print the EOD form.



Additional considerations



If the shipping labels are created directly through the AfterShip Shipping portal, you can then use the UI portal to generate the corresponding end of day form (manifest). This is because our system links the manifest creation process to the labels that are generated via the portal.
If the shipping labels are created through our API, you cannot use the AfterShip Shipping portal to generate the end of pay form (manifest). Instead, you must use our manifest API to generate the manifest for the API-generated labels.
