General Information about Update Shipping Agent

Why Use This Procedure?

In the Update Shipping Agent window, you register all shipping agents that your company uses to ship your products. In order to configure a shipping agent, it must first be registered as a supplier in the Update Supplier procedure.

The shipping agents are linked e.g. during registration of GAN number on customers in the Update Customer procedure in the Sales module. That procedure allows you to link a delivery address number (GAN) for each respective shipping agent that is used by that customer. GAN numbers are printed on Swedish shipping documents when delivering products. The shipping agents are also linked e.g. in the Pick List procedure in the Sales module when printing EDI and packaging pick lists.

Goods Searching on the Internet

A link used for goods searching on the Internet is attached to the e-mail message (containing the advice) if Unifaun is used. When a shipment has been printed or saved in Unifaun Online or sent directly from MONITOR, the Unifaun Track & Trace keeps track of the shipment from inside the MONITOR system. You will also find these links in the Print Shipping Documents, Shipment List and Customer Order Info procedures for the shipper.

This function is only available for Unifaun Online Plus-accounts and has to be activated via Unifaun Support!
