With the new windsor framework update going live, it would be great to add an automation rule so we can select the movement type without manually doing it each time.

I can't even see where to add a movement type


e are looking for automation that can be selected for movement type.  There are then 4 options for movement type.  It is so frusttrating as in my orders yo can't see the postcodes so that you can select the BT postcodes and add the movement type for these before purchasing which would prevent the errors.

When you hav hundeereds of orers to process a day this being done manually is not helpful in the least.  I am surprised shipsatation are asking for feedback on what we want, this should have been built in prior to the deeadline of 1st May where it is now mandatory for all parcels coming in to BT postcode from rest of UK to have what type of movement it is.

Two things need to happen.

 

Firstly being able to select postcode for columns view in order page then you can quickly see if there are any BT postodes that need order updating before processing labels and secondly an automation to do this.


We have exactly the saissue and would save a great deal of time ifwe could auto populate the movement indicator.

The Windsor framework is having a significant impact on our operation distributing to Northern Ireland.  We have gone from being fully automated to having manually intervene and set the movement type on every order.  Our pack stations don't have access to Ship Station so it all comes back to a shift supervisor to search for the order, set the parameter and print the label.  We feel like we have gone back 30 years in out distribution center.  We really need to get the field in the automation section of your product so we can back up to speed.

Surely this should be a standard feature? The idea of Shipstation is to improve and speed up workflow not slow us down! Come on Shipstation - wouldnt take long to add it as an Automation rule at all.
