Some carriers rely on EDI files while others communicate via APIs. This article will explain how to transmit data to your EDI carriers in Ship. It is very important to transmit EDI files. If a carrier has not received the EDI files before they handle the goods, they may need to handle it manually and some will charge a fee for this.
If you want to set up automatic transmit of EDI files, please read our article about Setting up auto transmit of EDI files in Ship.
- In Ship, go to Ship > Outbox.

- Click the Transmit button once you have made your selection.
- Click Yes to confirm.
