The Stock Shipment Alert is a notification to our warehouse that you have shipped us your product. It works much like a shopping cart where you select the products you will be shipping to us and enter an associated quantity. When the shipment alert is complete you will be presented with a slip that you print and enclose with the shipment. This will allow our Receiving department to identify and Check-In your shipments with ease. If your shipment is coming from your manufacturer and will not include the print off, be sure the packing slip with the shipment reflects the SSA (stock shipment alert) for fast Check-In.
Filling Out the Stock Shipment Alert Form
The shipment alert form is divided into 2 parts. The top section is
where you identify the shipment details including shipping method,
ETA, ship date and tracking numbers. The bottom section is the product
selection portion of the shipment alert.

Selecting Products for Shipment
You will find that selecting products is much like using a general shopping cart.
First, you select the product and enter a quantity. If you have a long list of inventory, it may be best to
select the products first and then add the quantities at the bottom. As with all of
the product listings in the MIS, sorting is allowed by clicking the
product or description sort buttons.
Clicking the Add to Stock Alert Items button of the associated product will add that product to the shipment. When the add button is pressed, the item is added to the shipment "cart" and is then available to change quantity towards the bottom. Each click of the same product's Add button will increment that item by one. Merchants prefer to run down the list adding their products and then worry about the quantities last.
After the product is added, the bottom portion is updated to reflect the items selected. The bottom section of the Stock Shipment Alert is for updating the quantity of each item.
Update Product Quantities
Change item quantities by clicking the Change Quantity button.
In the text box, update the quantity of that item that is being shipped.
Enter the updated quantity and click Update. Remove items by clicking the Remove button.
Submitting the Stock Alert
After the products have been added and the quantities updated, you are ready to submit the
SSA. Submit the alert by clicking the Complete Stock Shipment Alert
button.
The alert will then be in our system and a packing slip ID is produced. Be sure to print this and enclose it with the shipment. This will assist our warehouse staff to identify the shipment. This is how Inventory is updated in our system. Upon arrival to our warehouse, our Receiving department will verify the quantities and update inventory. If your shipment is coming from your manufacturer and will not include the print off, be sure the packing slip with the shipment reflects the SSA (stock shipment alert) for fast Check-In.
