Submitting Routing Requests

Select the peer number you are about to create the routing request for and click the next button. Select the relevant warehouse address from the dropdown menu in the ship from location item type in the number of cartons and the number of cartons item, and then select one of your printing options.

If you select, I will use vendor essential to print my package labels for the printing options. This is the safest way to ensure all relevant information required by Amazon appears on your labels. You can either choose to use these labels as they are, or ensure that all information on these labels appear on your own personal labels.

Click the next button. That there’s also a proceed by spreadsheet option, which we will go through a little later, but because this order is so small and the majority of orders don’t need to go through a spreadsheet, we will simply click the next button on the next page, select all the products you will be shipping.

Most instances. This will be all of them, unless you have failed to cancel something before, make sure that the carton number is mapped correctly. To the product that is actually in that carton that the units you are shipping are correct. Especially if you have forgotten to cancel or edit your purchase order before creating the routing request and then click the next button.

On the next page select your freight ready date. The freight class, the number of stacked pallets. In this case, we don’t have any, because it’s a small order. It’s the same thing with the unstacked pallets, the total shipment volume. In your unit of measurement, your total shipment weight in unit measurement, and for your shipment reference number, we would strongly suggest putting either your invoice number or your sales order number here so that you could track this through your own system.

In this example, we will put our sales order number. And then click the next button on the final page. You can then review your routing request and click the submit button. If you are happy with all the information, once you have submitted your routing request, you can then print the carton labels. By going back to the shipment’s home page and clicking shipments, pending carton labels. Click the print labels button on the next page. Locate your purchase orders and click on the actions button to the right of it and click the print cards and package labels.

A popup menu then appear where you can print to your PDF in order to have your label saved, or you can print Z ZPL labels as a different option. Click the print button for purchase orders that ship as small parcel shipments. You can also do the same process by clicking the print, small parcel labels button locating your purchase order number or your ARN routing number.

Clicking on the actions button to the right of this and clicking print, small parcel labels, or even BOL, but let’s click the print, small parcel labels. All your labels will then be printed automatically to PDF, which you can save to your computer. Remember the option where you could click a button that says proceed to edit via spreadsheet.

Well, this is something to note. Some purchase orders contain so many units and are being shipped in so many cartons that you would need to edit them in a spreadsheet. As the spreadsheet will contain all the line items in all of the cartons. It is imperative that you go through each carton and only enter the units of those items actually packed in the carton.

Otherwise. If you have 26 cartons, for example, you may end up packing the entire order. 26 times. That is all line items are shown to be in each of the 26 cartons unless edited correctly in a spreadsheet.

Another important thing to note here is that you have to absolutely make sure that each and every unit of each and every product is listed as packed in the correct carton. Otherwise this could lead to chargebacks because the mapping of a product and its quantity to a specific car was incorrect. So let’s look at this.

Here’s your card number? Seal the 7 O 1 7 O 1 7 O 1 7 O 1. There’s a 7 O 5. So you can’t pack everything out of all these ASINs into the 7 O 1. You’re only gonna pack those ASINs and those units that are packed into that carton number 7 O 1. So when you get to 7 O 5.

Those first units should not appear C, because they are already packed in carton 7 O 1, these units. However, just these 20 are packed in carton 7 O 5. And so it goes scrolling down to the next car, which is 7 O 9. Your first units are not packed, so they will remain zero, but the next list of products are packed in this carton.

So as you can see for each carton, all the line items from the purchase order are appearing, but you need to make sure that when you enter the shipped units, it’s only of those products that are actually in that specific carton. Which brings us to the next point. It is also imperative that all information that appears on the Amazon generated labels also appears on your own labels.

If you choose not to use Amazon generated labels, but your purchase orders. So essentially your carton labels must have this SSCC number on for those units. And if we go back to 7 O 5 for those. 20 little units that we had, that code needs to be on the carton containing those units. Otherwise, you’re going to end up with mapping issues and then chargebacks, if any information is missing incompletes or inaccurate on your carton labels, you will result in receiving chargebacks.
