Multiple Small Parcels

vs_printmultismparcels

The FOB Origin process for multiple small parcel containers is complicated by a limitation in VSM that prevents it from obtaining multiple shipping labels from small parcel carriers. The VSM web site treats each such container as a separate shipping event, issuing separate Shipment Control Numbers (SCN), Transportation Control Numbers (TCN) and shipping tracking numbers for each container.

MIL-Comply handles the data for these "separate shipments" automatically.  Printing can be done by container, or by document type, so one could, for example, retrieve and print all of the packing lists for an order in a single operation.  You get here from [ Multi Small Parcels ] Dashboard button when applicable.

The Multi Small Parcel Container dialog offers the same buttons found on the Shipment Dashboard, but allows them to be applied individually to specific containers.   To use it select one or more containers before clicking on one of the Print buttons.   If none are selected the operation will be performed on all of the containers.
