Setup

2024/10/16 • 5 min. to read
To guarantee that the shipping processes run efficiently, it is important that all the necessary settings are configured correctly. This includes, among other things, the shipping agent, printer, tariff and shipping costs settings as well as web messages. Various fields such as BusinessPartnerNumber, Tracking Link, Tracking Link as well as standard telephone numbers and follow-up texts can be set up in the main setup. It is also possible to set up automatic sending to shipping.net for sales delivery and warehouse picking. The field "Standard Proforma Invoice Ending Text" can be used to print a standard proforma post text in the proforma invoice. This is integrated as a standard text code and can therefore be edited at any time. You can also use "Send Shipping Cost as CustomsAdditionalCostList" to set whether shipping costs should be sent individually in the WebCall. To check and, if necessary, adjust other various settings, these can be viewed under "Related".

Ondot Shipping.Net Shipping Agent Setup

The shipping agent setup enables the management of different shipping agents. Several settings can be made for shipping.net, which are as follows: Commercial Invoice Report ID: Specifies the commercial invoice report ID. This report will send to shipping.net as the commercial invoice. Use AddressLine2: Specifies if the AddressLine1 should be cut at 35 characters and continued at AddressLine2. AddressLine2 will also be cut at 35 characters. Send Item Prices: Specifies if item prices should be sent. Send Item Without Sales Price: Specifies if item without sales price should be sent. Prevent Negative Amounts: Specifies if negative amounts should be prevented. If true negative line amounts will be set to zero. Active: Shows if the connector is active for this deliverer. In the AdditionalInfo table, information about the delivery can be added. Depending on which "Additional information" is stored for the delivery agent, this information is also sent. These are provided with abbreviations to simplify the WebCall to shipping.net. • INV o AdditionalField1 = Shipping No. • INVINFO o AdditionalField1 = Shipping No. o AdditionalField2 = recipient name • IOR o AdditionalField1 = (Post) • INV2 o Additional information for the Fedex deliverer • EDT o Required for printing the label (shipping.net)

Label Printing

Shipping.net prints the shipping label by itself. Labels do not need to be printed via the BC, unlike documents such as delivery note or invoice.

Ondot Shipping.Net Printer Setup

The printer setup should be able to print shipping labels needed for efficient shipping. Users and their corresponding printer names can be created in the configuration. For example, a user ID such as PSTATION01 can be created, which is associated with the corresponding printer name LStation01.

Web Messages Setup

The Web Messages setup should be able to transfer shipment tracking data directly to shipping.net automatically to guarantee a seamless communication. The setup offers the possibility to display the payload sent to shipping.net right on the platform. This feature helps ensuring that all relevant data reaches shipping.net and enables successful collaboration between the parties involved.

Ondot Shipping.Net Tariff Setup

The implementation of a Tariff setup offers the opportunity to optimize shipping processes according to the individual regulations of the respective destination country and to ensure legally compliant compliance with the valid customs and tax regulations. The Freight Payer field specifies in the performa invoice who is responsible for the applicable customs duties. The BusinessPartnerNumber field is input information that is passed on to shipping.net. This can be entered as a default in the "Ondot Shipping.Net Connector Setup" mask. Furthermore, an EORI No. can be provided in the Web Request depending on the country of setup. The Importer field defines who the invoice is to be sent to, and there are two options for this: • BusinessPartnerNumber: This field can be filled as required. The customs fee payer is entered as the invoice recipient. If the field is not filled in, the default field BusinessPartnerNumber is used in the "Ondot Shipping.Net Connector Setup" mask. • Invoice to debtor: This issues the invoice to the customer. The freight payer field in the Performa invoice indicates who is responsible for the customs fees incurred. This must be entered as a contact. The EORI No. field is especially useful when shipping to countries outside the EU, where the EORI No. of the following country can be entered in the field. This information is sent to shipping.net as Importer of Record (IOR). If an entry exists in the "EORI no." field in the customer card, this value is transferred to the EORI number text field in the proforma invoice. If there is no entry in the EORI field in the customer card, the EORI number is transferred from the Ondot customs facility for each country. The Proforma Invoice Ending Text field is printed on the proforma invoice. If a Proforma Invoice Ending Text is available in the Ondot Shipping.Net customs facility, this should be transferred for each country. However, if there is no customs setup, the standard proforma text should be printed in the connector setup.

Shipping Cost Setup

Shipping and packaging costs can be transferred individually to shipping.net using the following table and are not exported as an item line. In this table, the customer can create any number of items as shipping costs. This can be useful for a new shipping method. The shipping costs, if available, are always sent to shipping.net via Web Request, regardless of the item ordered. However, if this is not desired, it can be edited using the Boolean field: "Send shipping costs as CustomsAdditionalCostList".
