Manifest Report Handling


The highlighted part in the document you've provided refers to the "Manifest Report Handling" setting in a shipping or freight integration system, presumably in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central with the Dynamic Ship module or a similar application.

 

Here’s what it means:

 

- Manifest Report Handling: This setting determines who is responsible for generating the manifest report. A manifest report is typically a comprehensive list of all parcels or shipments that will be sent out together. This document is used by shipping providers for verification and processing.

 

- System or Carrier: These are the two options you can choose for the manifest report handling. If you set it to "System," it means that the Business Central system is responsible for generating the manifest report. If it's set to "Carrier," the responsibility shifts to the freight integration provider.

 

- Impact of the Setting:

  - If set to "System," no communication is made to the carrier when the report is run; instead, the Business Central system internally manages the manifest.

  - If set to "Carrier," the freight integration provider, such as EasyPost or another supported integration, must have the capability to generate the manifest. If the provider cannot generate the manifest and the setting is on "Carrier," an error will occur, and no manifest report will be produced.

 

- Recommendation: The document advises that this default configuration should only be changed if you fully understand the consequences. Improper configuration could lead to a failure in generating necessary shipping documentation, which could disrupt the shipping process.

 

In essence, this setting controls where the manifest is generated and who is responsible for it. Care must be taken when changing this setting to ensure that the shipping process remains smooth and that all necessary documentation is correctly produced.
