Shipping Manifests

A hard copy printed list of shipments is the shipping manifest. The manifest is the list of all the packages the driver is picking up at one time. ShipRush creates two different kinds of manifest:

Driver manifest / Pickup Summary Barcode: This is the paperwork the driver will need when picking up your shipments. UPS shipments created with ShipRush Basic Edition do not require a driver manifest or 'end of day barcode.' The UPS driver will pick them up without needing a manifest or end of day barcode. When using ShipRush Pro, the pickup barcode is scanned by the UPS driver when the packages are picked up.

Shipping reports: These are for your internal use, for billing reconciliation and record keeping.

To close the shipping day (this applies to ShipRush Pro for UPS only), select the End of Day option from the system tray menu:

or: press the Close Day button on the main screen

ShipRush will close the shipping day and print a manifest on your printer.

Note: When using ShipRush Basic Edition, UPS drivers no longer need the end of day barcode or manifest. UPS drivers will simply take the packages.

Additional Background: The “Pickup Summary Barcode” (the document scanned by the driver at time of pickup) is not needed when using internet-based UPS shipping systems, such as www.ups.com, Paypal, and ShipRush Basic Edition.  At pickup time, if the UPS driver asks for an end of day barcode, simply say that www.ups.com was used to process the shipments, and a bar code is not created and is not needed.  If the driver still thinks an end of day is required, point out the ‘bow tie’ box that is printed in the lower right corner of the shipping label—this should be the signal to the driver that an end of day barcode is not needed. There is no limit on the number of shipments a driver will take without a bar code. If the parcels are properly labelled, the driver is required to take them.
