Automatically resend report after inspection is complete
Shipment reports are automatically sent when a shipment is delivered. Reports for shipments that need manual inspection do not have the final information on shipment quality. Administrators can configure the system so that it automatically resends the shipment report once the shipment has been inspected and closed by QA. This ensures that relevant stakeholders get a final report and verification on product release.
There are four ways to configure resend reports:
| Setting | How it works |
|---|---|
| Always | A report will be sent automatically to shipment contacts once a shipment is manually inspected and closed. User completing inspection of shipment will not have the option to chose not to resend the report. |
| Default yes | Upon closing an inspected shipment user will be prompted if the shipment report should be resent. To resend report will be selected by default. |
| Default no | Upon closing an inspected shipment user will be prompted if the shipment report should be resent. Not to resend report will be selected by default. |
| Never | Report will not be resent once shipment is inspected and closed. User will not have the option to resend the report automatically. The option to request report will still be available. |
The configuration is accessible for administrators in Account Admin UI and applies globally i.e. the settings applies to all shipments within the account.
