This article explains how to mark freight as arrived at the depot after a pickup or linehaul has been completed.

Overview

Using the mobile app, scan consignment items as they arrive at the depot to mark them as In Depot and update tracking for customers.

Scan Freight Into the Depot

Prerequisites:

  • The Headport location on your staff card must be configured — navigate to Card Files > Staff List to verify.

Steps:

  1. Open the mobile app and navigate to the Scan page.
  2. Set the scan type to Depot In.
    • The Headport location is preset automatically based on the Headport configured on your staff card.
  3. Scan all consignment items.
    • Scanning a consignment item updates its status to In Depot.


Select a scan type of Depot In:




Create a Depot Manifest (Recommended)

After completing all depot scanning, create a manifest to record what freight entered the depot and when. This step is optional but recommended for historical recordkeeping.

  1. Tap the hamburger icon (top right).
  2. Select Create Manifest.
  3. Check Scans from current user only if you want to exclude depot scans from other users logged in at the same time.
  4. Set the scans to include.
  5. Tap Create.

A success message confirming the manifest number appears at the bottom of the screen.



Select Create Manifest:






View Depot Manifests

Navigate to Transport > Operational Tasks > Manifests > Scan Manifest tab.

For more details, see the Manifests article.
