When you deliver an order, a shipment records where it goes and how far it has got. By the end you will have set a sale's shipment and followed it to delivery.

Set a sale's shipment

  1. Open Sales › All Sales and find the sale.
  2. Open the row's menu and click Edit Shipping.
  3. Choose the Status. It is required: Ordered, Packed, Shipped, Delivered or Cancelled.
  4. Say where it goes. Delivered To is who receives it, Address is where. Add anything the driver needs under Please provide any details.
  5. Click Submit.
The Edit window for a sale's shipping: Status set to Shipped, Delivered To "Mama's Kitchen", Address "Plot 7 Market Lane, Kampala", the details "Deliver before 10am", and Submit.
One shipment per sale. Open Edit Shipping again to move it to the next status.

The sale's Shipping Status in All Sales now shows the shipment's status. As the order moves, open Edit Shipping again and change the Status: Packed when it is ready, Shipped when it leaves, Delivered when it arrives.

Follow every delivery

Every shipment in one place, newest first.

A shipment records the delivery; it doesn't move stock. The stock left when the sale was completed.
