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.

Procedure

  1. In the menu bar, click Shipping > Shipment History.
  2. On the View button to the right of the shipment, click the arrow and select Unship.
  3. Click Unship.
