After entering your shipping information, please click the 'Create Shipment' button. It is important to note that all fields are mandatory. The CDH System will automatically distribute all shipping data to the relevant platforms that require it.
13 Real-Time Updates Across All Platforms
Upon creating the shipment, the system will automatically update the status of each unit in real time across all connected platforms.
Note: If some units are included in a different shipment plan, the shipping data from that plan will appear on the corresponding Serial Number (SN) line across the systems.
14 Move EQ from Shipping to Delivery
After confirming that all EQ requirements have been met and there are no outstanding issues, update the status to Delivered. This communicates to the team that the EQ portion is complete and the project is ready to transition into Delivery.
Changing the status to Delivered triggers the system to move the EQ folder to the Delivery Workspace, placing it in the appropriate location for the next steps in the process.
