When sending International Shipments, you may need to tell your Shipping Agent whether you are sending goods to another Business or direct to the Consumer, identified as either Business-to-Business (B2B) or Business-to-Customer (B2C).
To cater for this requirement, we have added a Field to the "Customer Card" called Business Type which is located on the General FastTab. This should be completed as appropriate.
Note: if this Field is left blank on the "Customer Card" then the shipment will be considered as B2B.
The below Fields, available on the Shipping FastTab, should also be considered and are detailed below.
| Prevent Sending Shipping Agent Notifications |
This Field can be used in conjunction with Notifications FastTab on Shipping Agent Cards to define if this customer should receive any Notifications or not. |
| Pre Registration Type |
This field is to be used when sending goods to Northern Ireland for compliance with the Windsor Framework agreement and is used to setup the Pre Registration Type for the Consignee. Note: this field is not currently in use and related functionality will be implemented in a future release of Shipping Agent Integration |
| Pre Registration No. |
This field is to be used when sending goods to Northern Ireland for compliance with the Windsor Framework agreement and is used to identify the Consignee's Pre Registration No. Note: this field is not currently in use and related functionality will be implemented in a future release of Shipping Agent Integration |
| Container Confirmation Required |
In addition to the above, for International Shipments, you will also need to ensure that the Container Confirmation Field has been enabled against all Consignee Customer records. This is required in order to allow Container Tracking entries to be created as described here. |
| SSCC Required |
Also available on the Shipping Tab is the Delivery Instructions Field. This can be populated to add any applicable information that users might need to know when delivery items to that customer. This information will carried across onto the Consignment. |
