1. E-waybill - Old process -
In case the shipment's value is more than 50K then the eway bill was mandatory and the seller had to generate the same from govt. portal. Further, the seller faced a problem while generating the shipment (on the seller panel) and the "E-way" bill as the seller had to enter a random number in the "AWB" column on "Govt's portal".
E-waybill - New process -
As per the new update, the seller will now be able to create shipment and assign the courier without entering the "E-waybill no." in the seller panel. Once the shipment is created and the AWB no. is generated then the seller can easily enter the same AWB on the "Govt.'s portal" to generate the E-waybill easily.
2. Sellers can also use the same procedure to generate the "E-waybill" for RTO shipments as it is always advisable to create "E-waybill" in case of RTO shipments as well (shipment value >5o K).
3. In cases wherein; the shiprocket needs "E-waybill" from the sellers then the "Shiprocket" will now send 3 reminders to the seller before the " Eway bill" expires. The "E-waybill" expires after 7days from the date of "RTO initiated".
4. A seller can now use the NDR feature in "SR application".
5. A seller can now "create return orders" using "SR application".
6. A seller can now change the shipment's payment method while the shipment is under "transit". The payment mode can only be changed from "COD to prepaid" and not "prepaid to COD".
Path to follow to change the payment method - " Setting> enable changing payment mode".
Note -
The change can be made for the COD shipments only.
This will not be applicable for the shipments under "out for delivery" status.
Payment mode change is allowed only once and cannot be reverted.
This feature is currently catered by "Ecom and Delhivery" only.
7. Bulk option is now available for return orders as well.
8. The seller can downgrade the early COD plan after 30 days from the seller panel itself
