Pending Shipments---Status

How can we change the shipping Status automatically as we are shipping a package?

We open the Work order in the Shipping Room, print the package label and close the transaction....putting in any tracking info if available. We use ShipRush for most packages but not international.

Why does it default to PENDING SHIPMENT just because you put the Shipping Carrier and Service in?

The problem is you have to CLOSE the work order/transaction first before you can change the status.

If we open the shipping window, put the carrier and service in as well as the tracking number...you'd think the package was shipped.

That check button should ALSO be in that shipping window so we do not have an ADDITIONAL step after we close the transaction.

Can we program a button to make that transaction as shipped?

Thanks Jeff, ShipRush UPS v3 does not change the status from Pending to Shipped even after we run end-of-day. They are supposed to fix it in V4....whenever that comes out.....

Can we have a custom button in POS that will update the DATE PROCESSED field in the shipping table to NOW when pressed for the transaction we are viewing?

Or, does the shipping info only get written to the shipping table after the transaction has closed?

Thanks.
