This guide provides a streamlined daily workflow for fulfillment partners processing Cahoot orders. Follow these steps each day to efficiently pick, pack, verify, and ship orders on time. Cahoot starts auto-creating labels at 4am PT and runs continuously throughout the day until 2:00p local time. Orders must ship by 2pm local time (M-F) each day.

Recommended Method: This workflow uses the Pick List with Label Batch method, which is the most efficient way to process multiple orders. For alternative methods, see Print Shipping Labels using Barcode Scan Verification.
📋 Step 1: Create Pick List and Gather Items

Create Your Pick List

1Navigate to Print and Ship My Orders or click the Label Ready number on your Dashboard.

Important: Only orders visible on the page will be included in your Pick List and Label Batch. Make sure you've filtered correctly before proceeding.

2Select Print Pick List (8.5 x 11) or Print Pick List Detailed (8.5 x 11) from the Print button dropdown.

Note: When you print a Pick List, Cahoot automatically creates a Label Batch and moves those orders off the main page. You'll be redirected to the Label Batch page.

Gather Your Items

4Use your printed Pick List to gather all SKUs and shipping supplies from inventory.

5Bring all items to your packing station.

✅ Step 2: Scan Verification and Print Labels

Start Scan Verification

6Navigate to Scan to Verify and Print.

7Scan the Pick List barcode to load all orders from your Label Batch.

Process Each Order

8Scan any product barcode from your picked items. The system will automatically display the first order containing that product.

9Scan every item for the order. Each scan updates the "Qty Scanned" counter and shows a green checkmark when complete.

10When all items show green checkmarks, click Mark as Verified and Print to get the shipping label.

Critical: Packing Slips MUST be included inside (not outside) all shipments, except for Ready to Ship (SIOC) products that don't require overpacking.

Pack and Continue

11Place items in appropriate packaging, include the packing slip inside, tape securely, and affix the shipping label.

12The system automatically resets. Scan the next product barcode to continue with your next order.

13Monitor the "Orders Verified" counter in the top right to track your progress through the Label Batch.

🚚 Step 3: Create End of Day SCAN Forms (USPS, DHL, etc.)

After all orders are packed and ready for pickup, you must create and print the USPS EOD SCAN form.

Critical Requirement: USPS SCAN Forms are REQUIRED for all USPS orders. This must be completed by 9pm local time on the same day labels were created.

Close and Print EOD Form

14Navigate to Reports → End of Day Form (USPS).

15Click Close Shipments to finalize today's orders.

16Click Print to get your EOD SCAN form(s).

Note: If you process more shipments after closing, a second EOD form will be created. You must print and close each form separately.

Submit to USPS

17Hand all printed EOD forms to the USPS driver when they pick up packages.

18Verify the package count picked up matches the count on your EOD form(s).

Important: For complete details on USPS EOD forms, timing requirements, and troubleshooting, see Creating USPS End of Day SCAN Forms.
💡 Quick Tips and Best Practices

Daily Workflow Tips

  • Check the Dashboard regularly - The Label Ready count includes all orders regardless of ship-by date
  • Use Ship By filters - If expected orders aren't showing, adjust your date filter to "Today + Next 7 Days"
  • Monitor Pending to Print - This shows if you still have orders needing shipment today
  • Set a 9pm reminder - Ensure USPS EOD forms are completed before the daily deadline

Troubleshooting Resources

  • Scanner not reading barcodes? Use manual barcode entry (steps here)
  • Need to reprint a label? Reload the scan verification page and re-scan the Order ID (steps here)
  • Orders not showing on Print and Ship Page? Check your Ship By date filters
