Anonymous Is the usage of hence in my sentence correct? No, because I'm not sure we know what you mean by 'manifested'. Do you mean listed on a ship's manifest?

At least, it probably should read 'transferred to' or 'transferred into'...unless the transferring occurs inside the system (from one part of the system to another part of the same system).

I apologize for the lack of info. Yes it means listed on a ship's manifest.
And about the transfer, it involves two different system. From sysyem A to System B.
So I guess the correct sentence is
"Please be advised that all these shipments were not manifested, hence_ they were not _transferred to the system" ?

Then I suggest:

Please be advised that none of these shipments were on the ship's manifest, so they were not transferred into System B.
