Skipping Shipments

There are two independent ways to prevent a shipment from being processed. Either condition alone is enough — if either applies to a document, no waybill will be sent to the carrier.

Skip Shipment flag on a Shipment Method

On the Shipment Methods list (accessible from the Shipment Connector setup), each Shipment Method has a Skip Shipment checkbox. When this is enabled for a Shipment Method, any document that uses that Shipment Method Code will be skipped automatically — no waybill will be created or sent to the carrier for it.

This is a global setting per Shipment Method code, meaning it applies to all documents that use that method. A typical use case would be a shipment method such as PICKUP or COLLECT, where the customer collects the goods themselves and no carrier label is needed.

No Shipment value on the document

On individual documents — Sales Orders, Transfer Orders, Service Orders, and Warehouse Shipments — there is a Shipment Type field located next to the Shipment Method Code field. This field has three options:

Default — normal shipment processing (standard behaviour)
No Shipment — no waybill will be created or sent for this specific document
Drop Shipment — the sender address is replaced by the vendor’s address, used when a vendor ships directly to the customer

Setting No Shipment on a document prevents waybill creation for that document only, regardless of which Shipment Method is used. This is a per-document setting and does not affect any other orders or shipments.
