Shipping with OFBiz?

[Robert Wynkoop]

Does OFBiz work out of the box with USPS shipping?

I was wanting to be able to PICK and PACK in one operation and then print
postage and labels in a second operation.

You should be able to test by yourself at https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/ordermgr/control/orderentry Credential: admin/ofbiz
Take the DemoCustomer (taping de in the Customer lookup field is enough, the name will appear after 1 or 2 seconds, this demo server is slow), then ordering is straigtforward.
You can use the Quick Ship Entire Order after picking USPS as shipper. Note that not all is provided OOTB since some sipping estimating services might not be free or might need an account (I don't remember for USPS)

Does the demo work without doing a quick ship?

Currently I'm thinking I will pick, pack, ship in separate steps.  I also
plan to use daily shippments.

Somewhere I need get and print postage.   I was this would happen during
the ship step. (or is should this be done in the shippment)

In my testing,  I could pick and pack as a single step with no problem.  I
was unable to proceed from there.  (If I recall, quick ship did work.)  I'm
not wanting to use quick ship.

Where in the process does OFBiz expect postage to be obtained and recorded
for accounting?

How would I later determine if a order had postage?  If I need to reprint a
label.

Hi Robert,

You should be able to perform these operations for Shipment, pick, pack and then printing shipping label from USPS. This is all which can be done with Facility Manager application.

Picking: https://demo-stable.ofbiz.apache.org/facility/control/PicklistOptions?facilityId=WebStoreWarehouse

Manage Picklists: https://demo-stable.ofbiz.apache.org/facility/control/PicklistManage?facilityId=WebStoreWarehouse

Packing: https://demo-stable.ofbiz.apache.org/facility/control/PackOrder?facilityId=WebStoreWarehouse

Once the packing is complete you can print label from Shipment Route Segment view: https://demo-stable.ofbiz.apache.org/facility/control/EditShipmentRouteSegments?shipmentId=9996

Before going for enabling system for printing label from Third Party Shipping service you will need to make required configuration. Then from above view you should be able to first use "Confirm Shipment" then you can request for label from the same view. This all will be possible after adding required configuration for USPS account.

HTH!

Thanks and Regards
