Enter a Consignment
Data entry in SendIT is configurable, so the screen can be customised to meet the needs of the user (fields in white are the normal data entry fields and the cursor will tab through these fields. Colour fields cannot be reached using the tab, but can be access with the mouse.)
...
Default values will usually suffice for the other consignment fields.
Selecting a Receiver
SendIT can store receiver details in a database to avoid repetitive data entry. These receivers are retrieved from the database using the select field on the consignment screen. SendIT requires all receivers stored in the database to have an account number, however, the application can be configured to generate account numbers for new receivers.
...
SPECIAL CASE: If your configuration is set to retrieve receivers by account number, then you can enter one-off addresses using the special account “0”. Using this account number will drop the cursor down into the receiver address fields so you can enter the one-off address. The address will not be saved in the receiver database.
Customer Reference
SendIT can store multiple references, eg. an order number, an invoice number, a picking slip number, or multiples of each.
...
Press Enter when the New Reference field is blank, or click the Close button, to close the form.
Item Details
SendIT records details (weight, cubic measurements, type, description, and contained dangerous goods) about each individual item. By default, the Consignment Items form will popup automatically when entering a new consignment, or it can be manually opened by clicking the Items button.
...
When you enter off the description field, the item record will be added to the list (alternatively, click the Add button.) To remove a record from the list, just click on the record you want to remove.
Save and Print
Once all details have been entered, the consignment will automatically be saved when you enter off the last field. In the default configuration, Special Instructions is the last field, so pressing Enter or Tab with the cursor in that field will save the consignment.
