Cancel shipment

A shipment can be set to Canceled when it has been officially stopped and is not going to be delivered. Cancellations may occur for various reasons, including customer requests or logistical issues.

In SAPIENT, you can cancel the shipments to ensure that resources can be reallocated and allows users to manage customer expectations. The shipment can only be canceled if it has been confirmed by being manifested.
