Once orders are packed, two steps remain before they leave the warehouse: creating a shipment for each order with the courier, and handing it over to the courier. "Shipping Manager" lets you create all of a wave's shipments at once, so every order gets a tracking number without entering it on the courier's website, then record each handover the moment the courier picks it up, so you know exactly what has left the warehouse and what is still waiting.

If you need the courier's AWB before picking, you can create the shipments first, then pick their orders in a wave.

## Follow the Steps

Once a wave's orders are packed, you create their shipments and hand them over to the courier. In "Flow A — Shipment first", you create the shipments before the wave:

### Creating the Wave's Shipments

1. Go to "Pick Waves" and click " **Create shipments** " on the packed wave.
2. Choose the courier: "Bosta" or "Aramex".
3. Click " **Create shipments** ".

"Shipment created successfully" shows, each order gets a tracking number, and the wave moves to "Ready to Ship".

### Handing the Orders Over to the Courier

1. Click " **Handover** " on the wave.
2. Click " **Handover** " next to each order as you hand it over to the courier.

"Shipped" shows next to each order you hand over, and once they all are, "Wave Completed!" shows and the wave is closed.

> **Note:** If "Issue goods in Edara" is set to "At handover", goods are issued as each order is handed over.

### Creating the Shipments First (Flow A)

In "Flow A — Shipment first", you create the shipment and get the AWB before the warehouse touches the order:

1. Go to "Orders", select the orders, then click " **Ship with Bosta** " or " **Ship with Aramex** ".
2. Go to "Shipments" and select the new shipments.
3. Click " **Create Wave** ".
4. Choose the picker or " **Any picker** ", then click " **Create wave** ".

"Wave created" shows, and the wave is picked and packed as usual, then handed over to the courier.

> **Note:** You can only add a shipment to a wave while it's "Pending" and not already in another wave.

## Important Things to Know

- Create the wave's shipments once all its orders are packed.
- Choose a courier you connected from the "Integrations" page.
- Hand each order over when the courier actually takes it.
- The wave closes on its own once all its orders are handed over.
- New shipments show in "Shipments" as "Pending".
- In "Flow A", only "Pending" shipments can be added to a wave.

## Try It Yourself

Sample data — it doesn't affect any real data. Click "Create shipments" on the packed wave and choose the courier, then click "Handover" and hand over each order, and then open "Shipments".

## You May Be Wondering

**Where do I find the shipments I created?**

In the "Shipments" page, at the top of the list as "Pending". (Article:

)

**Do I have to hand over all the wave's orders at once?**

No. You hand over each order on its own as the courier takes it, and the wave closes after the last one.

**Why doesn't "Ship with Bosta" show in the "Orders" page?**

Because the fulfillment flow is "Flow B — Wave first", where you create the wave first. (Article:
