Closing DHL Shipments and Printing the Driver Summary Manifest (DSM)
While some carriers scan each package during a pickup (example: UPS), other carriers require a shipping manifest that lists all the shipments for that day. Carriers may refer to this as a SCAN form, End of Day (EOD) form, or shipping manifest. Learn how to create and print a DHL Driver Summary Manifest (DSM) in Cahoot.
Note: DHL End of Day forms are REQUIRED to be completed every business day. Please print the form and provide it to the DHL carrier BEFORE they leave your facility with all their packages for the day (not after).

Step-by-Step Guide
1. You can find your DHL DSM using the top navigation: Reports > Driver Summary Manifest (DHL).
2. Before you can print your scan form, you will need to select Close Shipments. This means there are no new expected shipments for today.
Note: If new shipments are processed after the form is Closed, you'll see a separate DSM form for those new shipments, which you will also need to Close. This will generate a second DSM for those additional orders.
3. Once the Shipments have been Closed, you can Print the DSM form. If you have multiple DSM forms, don't forget to Print each one.
4. Finally, hand all DHL DSM Forms to the DHL driver when they come to pick up the shipments. Make sure the package count going out matches the count on the DSM Form.
