Article • 4/27/2026 • 3 min read

After you set filter options for adding multiple shippers, you can add one or multiple shippers using the shipping queue. The Shipping Queue page displays sales order items available for shipment.

The filter options that display at the top of the window are dependent on the options checked on the Setup Shipping Queue Filter (SCIFSET) page.

If a column heading is underlined, you can double-click to sort by that column.

To add one or multiple shippers using the shipping queue

  1. Open the Shipping Queue (SCIFS) page.

    1. Select Production Management > Production Transactions > Shipping > Shipping Queue.

      Or

    2. Search for SCIFS or Shipping Queue in the Navigation box and then select Shipping Queue.

      Shipping Queue (SCIFS) page appears.

  2. Locate items to ship:

    • To manually locate the items you want to ship, scroll through the list.

    • To filter the list of items available for shipment, select information in one or more of the filter boxes and click the Refresh List on the toolbar.

    • To apply filter, click Apply Filter on the child toolbar.

    • To clear filters, click the Clear Filters on the child toolbar and then click the Refresh List on the Toolbar.

      The quantity that displays in the Available For Shipment column is dependent on the setting chosen on the Setup Shipping Queue Filter (SCIFSET) page. If you select the Avail To Ship Excludes Qty Not Yet Received/completed check box, the quantity will only include Buy parts that have been received and not returned, and Make parts where the last job operation has been completed. If this check box is not selected, then all parts on open Purchase Orders and Job orders are included in the Avail To Ship Excludes Qty Not Yet Received/completed.

  3. To combine sales orders for a customer on a single shipper, select the Combine Sales Orders check box in the Setup Shipping Queue Filter (SCIFSET) page. The following fields on the Sales Order must be the same on all sales orders you are combining. If they are not the same, the shipper will not be created.

    • To unselect all items, clear the Select check box on the column header.

    • To print shipping documents at the time shippers are added, select the Print Shipping List For All Selected Shippers check box. If the check box is not selected, no shipping documents will print when shippers are added.

  2. To create shippers, click Create New Shippers on child toolbar.

    A message, Are you sure you want to create new shippers? appears.

  3. Click Proceed to continue with shipper creation even though the Sales Orders will not be combined.

  4. If you select the Combine Sales Orders check box, a message will display if the Sales Orders cannot be combined because some of the required fields are not the same (See step 2 - NOTE). You have the following options:

    • Proceed

    • Cancel: Cancel the process without creating any shippers, and return to the SCIFS window.

    • More Info: Displays a window that shows which Sales Orders cannot be combined. You will have the options to Proceed or Cancel from that window.

      The next step is to set filter options for confirming shippers.
