E-Ship Overview
The E-Ship module will give you the capability to complete
the order process with efficiency and accuracy. E-Ship
starts at the packing process, handles multiple carriers and
the manifests for those carriers, notifies the customer of
the shipping date, method, and tracking number and also
helps you reconcile your freight bills. As an option, you
can also utilize the E-Ship Rate Shopping feature to assist
your sales staff in providing shipping methods and costs
during the order taking process.

Pack Line Scanning
Packing captures and stores information about the package as
well as the products packed in each package. It also
includes a pack line scanning function that allows the user
to drive the entire shipping process with a wedge scanning
device connected between the keyboard and PC. Although Pack
Line Scanning is an extremely efficient method of verifying
that the correct items and quantities are being packed, this
granule also offers two other methods of packing and
shipping. Fast pack presents the user with a list of items
to be shipped on the order and accepts entry to determine
which item is being shipped in the current package.

Standard Pack is a function that is used to create
standardized packages automatically based on a standard pack
and unit of measure. All of this can be facilitated by the
scales interface which is used to communicate with an
electronic scale. When E-Ship requests the weight of a
package a command is sent to the scale which generates a
response containing the weight of the package currently on
the scale.
Manifests
The UPS Manifest rates the shipment, prints the UPS shipping
label and uploads an electronic manifest to UPS via the Host
Manifest Upload protocol
FedEx and FedEx Ground Manifest sends a transaction via the
internet to a FedEx server and retrieves rated shipping
information and prints the appropriate shipping label. It
also facilitates the day-end close and electronic manifest.
Both the UPS and FedEx Manifests replace the current
shipping station.

Rate Shopping (Enlarge) |
LTL Shipping rates LTL shipments based on rates contained in
the system. The LTL shipping granule includes an interface
to SMC3 shipping rates. Airborne Manifest rates the
shipment, prints the Airborne shipping label and uploads an
electronic manifest to Airborne at day-end. |

Bill of Lading
The Bill of Lading/ASN provides a Bill of Lading document
that enables the user to build a combined shipment by
attaching Sales Orders, Shipments, and Packages. The Bill of
Lading and its detail becomes the basis of the EDI Advanced
Shipment Notice and the printed VICS Bill of Lading.

Shipment Notification
This granule provides for the user defined formatting of
e-mails based on NewVision documents such as Sales Orders,
Shipments, and Invoices. One of the most common uses of this
granule is to send an automatic e-mail shipment notification
including package detail and tracking numbers.
Freight Invoice Reconciliation
Freight Invoice Reconciliation compares shipping charges
calculated by the various manifest granules to the freight
vendor’s invoice. After reconciliation, the results are used
to create a purchase invoice for the freight vendor.
Rate Shopping
Rate Shopping provides a means of quoting rates from the
NewVision Sales Order Entry function or from the Bill of
Lading. All NewVision Sales Entry functions provide for the
calculation and display of weight which allows the
salesperson to quote based on different carriers and
shipping methods.
