'Scan to trailer' functionality is provided by the use of Manifest Group Codes, each of which is associated with a particular vehicle. You assign each consignment to one of these codes prior to manifesting so that you can then trace consignments to the specific trailer or carton/cage.
Note
Manifest Group Codes (Trailer IDs) can be used across multiple carriers. However, you can only manifest consignments for one single carrier/warehouse combination at a time.
To scan consignments to Manifest Group Codes prior to manifesting, you can either:
Open each individual consignment under the Advanced tab and enter a code (refer to Assigning a Manifest Group Code to a single Consignment). Or
Use the Advanced menu to assign multiple 'Ready to manifest' consignments to a single code (refer to Assigning a Manifest Group Code to multiple Consignments).
Log into the Delivery Manager Delta environment using either the Administrator Login and Password or one of the user accounts that were created:

You are returned to the list of 'Ready to manifest' consignments.
