An inbound shipment in ShipHero is the receiving record used to track inventory arriving at the warehouse. Create one before starting the receiving process, either from existing purchase orders or on the fly without a PO.
For an overview of the full mobile receiving workflow, see Overview: Mobile Inbound Receiving in ShipHero. To create an inbound shipment from the web app instead, see How to Create an Inbound Shipment in ShipHero.
