Printing and scheduling a Canada Post Manifest in PitneyShip Pro or PitneyShip Enterprise

The purpose of a manifest is to save time. Without a manifest, Canada Post needs to scan each individual shipping label. This can be time consuming if there are a large number of shipping labels. Instead of scanning each individual shipping label, the manifest can be scanned once, and every shipping label from that day will be uploaded to their system.

Administrators can also schedule, run, and track Canada Post manifest processing automatically. This automates Canada Post manifest processing, reduces manual effort, and helps ensure shipments are manifested on time every day.

Note: Shipments created with a future ship date will be included in the manifest that is generated on their ship date.
