Updating Shipment Information

Overview

Users can update shipments directly on the Supplier Portal's Planned Shipment tab. Areas that can be updated include:

• Pieces
• Weight
• Freight dimensions

Only one row can be edited at a time. Updates are immediately applied throughout Optimiz.

You cannot make changes to shipment details once the shipment has been picked up. All changes need to be made before the initial pickup.

When Should I Update Planned Shipments?

Shipments should be updated as soon as there are changes in order to keep ProTrans updated and to avoid any delays in the shipment.

To Update Planned Shipments:

1. Search for the shipment. See Search for Shipments.
2. Click the link in the Pieces or Weight column.

4. Edit the data in the column(s) as needed.
5. Then click Update to save the changes, or Cancel to cancel the changes.
