What's New?
We're excited to introduce the Edit Shipment Modal — a streamlined, all-in-one dialog that makes creating and managing shipments faster and easier than ever. No more navigating across multiple screens; everything you need to log a shipment is now in one place.
What Can You Do With It?
With the new shipment modal, you can now:
- ✅ Log shipment details — carrier, tracking number, ship date, and status all in one place
- ✅ Record package specs — weight, dimensions, cost, and SSCC without leaving the fulfillment order
- ✅ Review items being shipped — see SKUs, item names, quantities, and availability at a glance
- ✅ Track shipment status — set and update status (e.g.,
PENDING) directly from the modal
How to Access It
- Go to your Sales Order in Luminous then go to the Shipment Tab
- Click the Actions menu (top-right of the Shipments tab).
- Select Create Shipment — the new modal will pop up instantly
- Fill in your shipment and package details, review the items, and hit Save Shipment
That's it! Your shipment is logged and linked directly to the Sales and fulfilment order.
A Quick Look at What's Inside
| Section | What You'll Find |
|---|---|
| Shipment | Fulfillment Order, Ship Date, Carrier, Tracking Number, SCAC, Trailer Number, Status |
| Package | Weight, Dimensions (L×W×H), Cost, SSCC |
| Items in Shipment | SKU, Item Name, Quantity (shipped/total), Available stock |
Why You'll Love It
- Faster workflow — complete a shipment record without navigating away from your order
- Fewer errors — required fields (marked with *) prevent incomplete shipment records from being saved
- EDI-ready — SSCC field built right in for retail compliance
- Clear visibility — see exactly what's being shipped and how much inventory is available, all in real time
Tips to Get Started
- Always enter the tracking number before saving — it's required and keeps your order history accurate
- Use the SSCC field if you're shipping to EDI/retail partners to stay compliant
- Check the Available column — if it shows
0, inventory may already be allocated or a duplicate shipment may exist - Set the Ship Date to the actual date shipped, not the order date
