Manual Shipment File Creation

If you will be creating or editing your shipment files by hand in Excel, Excel will corrupt your tracking number field. To prevent this from happening you can prefix the tracking number with a tick mark (not a quote): `

Integration Manager will remove the tick when loading the tracking record, but the tick will trick Excel and prevent it from converting the field into scientific notation.
