The Pending Shipments screen allows distributors to review, edit, and confirm shipment details. It provides a clear view of the shipment items, packing plan, sender and recipient information, and the ability to save changes before confirming the booking. This ensures that all shipping details are correct before dispatch.
Make sure to confirm all weights, dimensions, and addresses before booking the shipment. Once confirmed, changes may not be allowed.
