What are Manifests?

  • Who is it designed for? - Fixably Depot and other high volume providers that receive devices in Batches.

     
  • When a depot buys devices or gets a service request, there are 3 main formats in which they could receive the information:
    • Fully Manifested Shipments: Device Manufacturer, Model, Colour, Capacity, and specific devices (Serial or IMEI) will be listed
    • Partially Manifested Shipments: Device Manufacturer, Model, Colour, and Capacity may be known, but no specific device identifiers are listed (no Serial or IMEIs)
    • Unmanifested Shipments: No prior notice of what specifically they are getting

       
  • Fixably’s Incoming Manifest feature creates a more convenient and consistent workflow for pre-booking and receiving large batches of devices into your Fixably workflow.

     
  • For more details, please reach out to customer.success@fixably.com
