Manifesting for shipments' shipping zones

As a part of routing, the Sterling Selling and Fulfillment Foundation considers parcel shipments that satisfy certain conditions for zone skipping.

On meeting the zone skipping threshold weight and volume, the system creates an LTL or TL load to carry these shipments to the break bulk node. Shipments that belong to a break bulk load are automatically manifested from the break bulk node.

Note: You must configure a break bulk node as a non-WMS ship node. You must also configure a different break bulk node for each ship node to ensure that all shipments belonging to the manifest of a break bulk node arrive at the break bulk node at the same time (as part of break bulk load). The close manifest process is not dependent on the arrival of loads of other ship nodes.

The system automatically manifests all shipments belonging to a break bulk load in the following ways:

If the user unpacks a manifested container, the shipments are automatically un-manifested. For shipments that have shipment level integration with FedEx, all containers of the shipment are un-manifested.

The open manifest at the break bulk node is closed when you confirm a load. Shipments that belong to a break bulk load are confirmed when the load is shipped from the origin node.
