A USPS Shipment Confirmation Acceptance Notice (SCAN Form) is a document with a master barcode that covers all packages to be shipped during a USPS pick-up or drop-off. USPS scans this single barcode instead of scanning each package individually, saving time during shipping.
SCAN Forms are only available for USPS shipments created in Sellbrite. Learn how to create USPS shipments for orders in Sellbrite here.
Creating a SCAN Form
USPS guidelines prohibit creating SCAN Forms for shipments with a past Ship Date, unless a SCAN Form created on the previous day was printed mid-day. Since SCAN Forms are date-specific, you'll need to create separate SCAN Forms for leftover orders from the previous day and for your current orders.
NOTE: SCAN forms cannot be created on federal holidays recognized by USPS.
To create a SCAN Form, go to Orders > Shipments.
On the Shipments page, select 'Create SCAN Form.' SCAN Forms are warehouse specific, so you'll need to choose the warehouse where your shipments are located.
Once you've selected a Warehouse, a pop-up will appear with all eligible USPS Shipments created for the selected day.
By default, all eligible shipments for the selected day will be checked and selected to be included on your SCAN Form.
Once you have your shipments and ship date selected, click 'Confirm.' You can print or download your SCAN Form.
SCAN form history
With Sellbrite, you are able to view your SCAN form history. From the Shipments page, click 'SCAN form history' button. Your SCAN form history will allow you to see your previous SCAN forms, and even even see SCAN forms already set in the upcoming week.
