      How to book an international integrator shipment on platform

      To create a new shipment to a international destination with an integrator on the platform follow these steps:

      **Note that the 7bridges platform has been enabled to support paperless trade with integrators meaning that you do not need to print hard copies of the commercial invoice. The platform will advise you depending on which destination you are shipping to whether you need to print or not.**
      1. Login to the 7bridges platform and go to the Shipments area
      2. Click the green 'Create new +' button

      3. Enter the shipment reference (eg PO Number from your ERP) and click "Create Shipment" to manually create a new shipment booking

      4. You'll be presented with several sections that need to be completed before you can get a label and any relevant shipping documentation. These sections include Shipping Addresses, Packages, Shipping method and Confirm page.

      5. Save shipping addresses to the 'Locations > Address Book' section so you don't have to re-add addresses you're shipping from or shipping to. You can also set fulfilment location addresses as the default origin address for each individual site. 
      6. In the packaging section, select the items to pack on the left-hand side and the packages on the right-hand side. Fill out all the required information (note product data is mandatory for a international shipment)



      7. For an international shipment with an integrator you will be required provide the necessary information in the customs section in order to proceed.

      8. Review the real-time calculated rates sorted by quote in the Shipping method step. Select the dispatch method (Drop Off or Pickup)

      9. After selecting rates, review all the entered information on the confirmation page to ensure the addresses and packaging info are all correct. Then click on "Order"

      10. Congratulations! You've successfully booked an international shipment through 7bridges.
      11. You will now be able to download and print the shipping labels and pack list for the shipment. The commercial invoice will also be available should you require it.
