Manual shipment when carrier labels live outside ChannelDock
Some lanes print manifests elsewhere—pickup contracts, retailer portals, or overnight courier swaps you cannot pause for middleware. ChannelDock still closes the operational loop with manual shipment confirmation plus bulk “confirm without integrated labels,” so finance and platforms reflect reality without forcing fake carrier bookings.

Pairs with
- Bulk processing for cutoff-wide batches.
- Pick & Pack when warehouse validation still matters.

Finance trusts timestamps
Manual confirmations stamp fulfillment transitions clearly—fewer reconciliation hunts.
Peak throughput survives

Roll out manual lanes deliberately
Document where labels originate → codify who may confirm → audit discrepancies monthly.
