In Logistiqo, shipment documents can be printed or sent by email directly from the shipment screen. The available documents depend on your setup, the shipment type, and the data entered in the shipment.
Typical documents include order confirmations, order dossiers, driver documents, subcontractor documents, delivery notes, labels, CMR waybills, and contracts of carriage.
Opening a shipment
Go to Shipments > Shipment.
Open an existing shipment or create a new one. Before printing or sending documents, make sure the shipment has been saved and the relevant data is complete.
Check especially:
- customer
- sender and receiver
- pickup and delivery dates
- goods
- services and prices
- driver, vehicle, or subcontractor if required
- email addresses of customer or subcontractor
Printing shipment documents
To print or download a shipment document, click Print in the toolbar.
Depending on your setup, the following documents may be available:
Order Confirmation: Prints an order confirmation for the customer.
Order Dossier: Prints an internal order dossier with shipment details.
Order For Driver: Prints a driver version of the shipment document.
Order For Subcontractor: Prints a subcontractor version of the shipment document.
Delivery Note: Prints a delivery note.
Labels Notified Goods: Prints labels for notified goods, if used in your process.
Waybill CMR: Prints a CMR waybill.
Contract Of Carriage: Prints a transport order or contract of carriage for a subcontractor.
The generated document opens as a PDF and can then be downloaded, printed, or saved.
Sending shipment documents by email
To send a shipment document by email, click Email in the toolbar.
Depending on your setup, the following email options may be available:
Order Confirmation: Opens an email window with the order confirmation attached.
Waybill CMR: Opens an email window with the CMR waybill attached.
Contract Of Carriage: Opens an email window with the contract of carriage attached.
Mailbox: Opens the mailbox or related email area, depending on your configuration.
Before sending the email, always check the recipient, subject, email text, and attachment. Then click Send mail.
Sending a contract of carriage to a subcontractor
The option Contract Of Carriage is only available when a subcontractor is assigned in the shipment.
If the shipment contains one subcontractor, Logistiqo can create the contract of carriage for that subcontractor. If the shipment contains several subcontractors for different service lines, Logistiqo shows the available subcontractors in the Print or Email menu so that you can select the correct one.
To send a contract of carriage:
- Open the shipment.
- Make sure the subcontractor is assigned in the service line.
- Click Email > Contract Of Carriage.
- Select the subcontractor if more than one subcontractor is available.
- The email window opens with the contract of carriage attached.
- Check recipient, subject, email text, and attachment.
- Click Send mail.
The recipient is usually taken from the subcontractor’s stored contact or company data. If the email address is missing or incorrect, enter it manually in the email window or update the subcontractor master data.
Printing a contract of carriage
To print the contract of carriage instead of sending it by email, click Print > Contract Of Carriage and select the subcontractor if required.
Logistiqo generates the contract of carriage as a PDF. The document contains the relevant shipment and subcontractor information based on your document template.
Important notes
The available print and email options can differ depending on your shipment type, templates, permissions, and company setup.
If Contract Of Carriage is not available, check whether a subcontractor has been assigned in the shipment.
If an email recipient is missing, check the contact and email data of the customer, subcontractor, or contact person.
If a document contains incorrect data, correct the shipment first, save it, and then generate the document again.
