Tracking Numbers Screen

In this Topic: ShowHide

Overview

The Tracking Numbers screen is called by the Add button of the Shipping & Tracking tab of the Orders screen. It is used to manually enter shipment tracking information that is provided by a carrier or drop-ship vendor. A modified version of this screen is called by the Edit button of the Shipping & Tracking tab of the Orders screen.

To enter a large quantity of tracking numbers into the Order Manager, it is preferable to use the Import Tracking Data screen rather than the Tracking Numbers screen. In addition to the previously mentioned screens, tracking information for orders that have been fulfilled by a drop-ship vendor (supplier vendor) can be entered via the Drop Ship Tracking screen.

Click the Show link next to "In This Topic" at the top of this page to see a series of links in outline form, which can be used to quickly jump to that section of the topic.

In addition, major topics may provide a brief synopsis of a field's purpose or direct the reader to the appropriate section of the topic by scrolling over the image. To return to the previous location within the same page, right-click the mouse and select [Back].

If clicking a field directs the reader to a different Knowledge Base topic, it will open in a new tab or window, leaving the currently viewed topic open. The browser's settings determine whether a new tab or window is opened.
