Un-sending shipments
After a shipping file has been generated and a shipment changed to sent in LDMS, it is possible to change the shipment back to a pending state.
About this task
This would be necessary if you need to modify the shipment and re-generate the shipping file. This could happen, for example, if you discovered there were more specimens to be shipped and the shipment hasn’t left your laboratory yet.
CAUTION:
A shipment should not be un-sent if the receiving laboratory has received
and loaded the shipping file. Doing so would cause the specimens to appear at both
laboratories. Contact the receiving laboratory and ensure that have not yet loaded the
shipping file before continuing.
