# Multi-Dispatch

Send one order to many delivery addresses from a distribution list, with each address picked, checked, and boxed separately.

When a client orders gift packs for 30 branches, each branch needs its own boxes and its own Delivery Note. A multi-dispatch in OrderEazi sends one order to many addresses. It picks and checks the stock for you, creates a Delivery Note for each address, and lets you pack each address's boxes.

### Before you start

You'll need:

* **Permissions:** One of **Perform Dispatching**, **Dispatch Supervisor**, **View and Use as Manager**, or **View and Use as Administrator**, in the **Warehousing** permission group.
* **A Sales Order:** The project must have a Sales Order.
* **A distribution list:** To send to more than one address, you need a distribution list (a spreadsheet of the addresses and the quantity of each product going to each) uploaded on the project. Without one, everything goes to the project's delivery address.
* **Stock received:** The stock must be received on the project's Purchase Order. See [Receiving stock (GRV)](/central/warehouse-management/inbound/receiving-stock-grv.md).

### How a multi-dispatch is created

A multi-dispatch is created for you in one of two ways.

**Uploading a distribution list:** Upload it on the project's **Documents** tab, under **Distribution List Upload**. See [Cross Docking](/central/warehouse-management/inbound/cross-docking.md#how-to-send-to-several-addresses) for the steps.

**Cross docking:** When you send received stock straight out without putting it away, select **Submit Crossdock** for the project's receipts.

Its number starts with MD, followed by the Sales Order number.

### How to find a multi-dispatch

1. In the warehouse menu, select **Outbound** > **Multi-Dispatch**.
2. Choose a **Status**, or type a project or Sales Order number in **Document Number**.
3. Select **Filter**.

Each row shows the **Multi-Dispatch No**, the project and Sales Order, the **Customer Name**, the **Sales Representative**, the number of **Deliveries** (addresses), the **Status**, and **Project Received vs Project Required**.

The **Status** shows how far it's got:

* **Open:** It's waiting to be picked and checked.
* **RequiresBoxing:** It's picked and checked, and needs packing.
* **Boxed:** It's packed and ready for a tripsheet (the list of deliveries for one driver's trip).

### How to send a multi-dispatch

1. In the multi-dispatch's row, select the gear, then **Continue**. The **Start Multi Dispatch** screen opens, with the **Items to Dispatch** and the **Distribution List/s**.
2. Select **Single Address** to send everything to the project's delivery address, or **Multi Address** to send to each address on the distribution list.

OrderEazi picks and checks the stock for you. You'll see "Picking has successfully been completed", and a Delivery Note is created for each address. The status changes to **RequiresBoxing**. If **Repack** doesn't appear, refresh the page.

**Example:** Clientco orders 300 gift packs for 30 branches, 10 each. You upload their distribution list on the project, and the stock arrives. In **Multi-Dispatch**, you select **Continue**, then **Multi Address**. OrderEazi creates 30 Delivery Notes. You repack each branch's 10 packs into one box, and select **Start Tripsheet**.

#### How to pack each address

1. Select **Repack** for an address.
2. Enter the number of boxes.
3. Select **Continue**.
4. For a single box, choose its size and weight if you're asked, then select **Save**. For several boxes, see [How to pack into several boxes](#how-to-pack-into-several-boxes).
5. Repeat steps 1 to 4 for each address.

When every address is packed, you'll see "Order has been packed and is ready for dispatch". Select **Start Tripsheet** to add it to a driver's trip. See [Dispatch](/central/warehouse-management/outbound/dispatch.md).

#### How to pack into several boxes

1. On the **Box Allocation** screen, drag each product from **Products** into a box under **Boxes**. If you're moving more than one unit, enter how many.
2. If you're asked for each box's size and weight, choose them. This depends on **Capture Checking Box Dimensions** in [Warehouse settings](/central/warehouse-management/warehouse-settings.md).
3. To print the box labels, select **Print box labels**.
4. When every item is in a box, select **Return to Multi Dispatch**.

To take an item out of a box, drag it back to **Products**. To start the boxes again, select **Cancel**, and confirm. All the boxes are cleared.

### How to view or undo packing

In the multi-dispatch's row, select the gear, then **View**. You see each product's quantity received, required, and picked, and each address with its box count.

To pack an order again, select **Undo Packing**. If you see "Please remove the order from trip sheet \[number]", with a tripsheet number in place of \[number], remove the order from that tripsheet first.
