The approved order's information will be filled on the "Order" tab such as "Item Quantity", "Total Weight", "Address / Type". On the "Total Weight" field, the total weight of the order is displayed. This calculation is made by using the item's package weight.

On the "item weight" field, the unit weight of the item is displayed.
If you use a scale on your packing operation, you will see the "calculated weight" info. "Calculated Weight" field shows the total weight of the shipping box. If this value is different than the scale weight, this field will be red.
If the "package type", "shipping option" selections appear at the end of the packing operation on your setup, you will see the "calculated weight" info. "Calculated Weight" field shows the total weight of the shipping box.
Getting rates and labels functions are available on the packing station. In order to get the label without getting the rate, simply click the "Get Labels" button. The carrier label will be generated with the selected option automatically.
