On the Inbound Shipments page, you can easily add new orders or units in transit and edit shipment details such as expected delivery dates and destination locations. This option is best if your Iinbound Shipments are not connected through a native integration and you want to manually update data within the platform.
For a more automated workflow, you can configure Inbound Shipment inputs by integrating a standardized Google Sheets template provided by Flieber.
