Carrier and Rate Selection

Use the carrier selection area to provide the carrier, service and package detail for your shipments, or to select a rate group. Available carriers are determined by the current user's carrier permissions.

The carrier selection functionality is available via the Carrier Service snippet. See Carrier Service for detail.

Use the dropdown icon at the right of the snippet to access additional options. This includes selecting a custom code, inputting a specific ship time, or using the Required By, Guaranteed and Pick Best Rate options to assist when operating with rate groups. Note that the Pick Best Rate option is not available when operating with a bulk list.

Custom Codes

Use the Custom Carrier Code field to select from your custom codes configured in the Administration App's Carriers page. See Carriers - Custom Codes for detail. Custom codes determine how a transaction is shipped; when a code is loaded in the App, the detail configured in the Administration App populates the relevant fields. This can include: Carrier, Service, Package Type, Payer Type, enabling the Residential checkbox, and selecting services from the Special Services lookup.

Note that only the following special services can be selected using custom codes: Saturday Delivery, COD - Any and COD - Guaranteed Funds.
