Update Supplier
Open the Update Supplier procedure under the Suppliers menu in the Purchase module.
- Register a supplier for each shipping agent that you are going to use, for example DB Schenker, DSV Road, PostNord Logistics, DHL, FedEx, etc., unless you have already done that.
For each supplier (shipping agent) you do the following:
- Go to the Info tab and click the Extra Info button
- On the row called Dispatch advice type you select EDI. For general shipping agents you leave this row empty.
- If you are going to dispatch EDI advices to different shipping agents (that is, if you have several links with different format numbers (180-185) registered for format group 270 in the EDI Links procedure) the row number under the ID column for the link in question must be entered on the row called Dispatch advice method. If you only have one link for EDI advices you can leave the field empty (this link will then always be selected by default).
- On the row called Mark shipping docs for this shipping agent you select EDI. This way, a warning regarding advising via EDI will then be inactivated and STE (for DB Schenker) and SIS will also be marked with EDI. For the shipping agent DHL you leave this row empty.
- Mark Export both receiver's address and delivery address to shipper if you need to send this information. For the shipping agent DHL you leave this row empty.
For DB Schenker (and other shipping agents where you advice via Apport.Net) you also have to do the following:
- On the row called Shipping agent for disp. advice to Apport (general), you enter the name of the customer number in the web service.
(This information can be found on the websites www.memnonnetworks.se, www.web-ta.net or www.dsv-e-services.com. There you click Settings and Products. Also check that the name of the customer number you going to use is registered under Settings and Customer number.)
For DHL you should also do the following:
- On the row called Our EDI address for this shipping agent you enter the ID called "Shipper's EDI-address" by DHL.
- On the row called Shipping agent's EDI address: you enter the ID called "Receiver's EDI-address" by DHL.
(From MONITOR the value 7381000065002 will be exported for the service Euroconnect and for other products the value 7330924000002 will be exported, unless something else has been entered.)
For general shipping agents (to which the shipping information is sent via Unifaun Online) also do the following:
A general shipping agent cannot be selected in the Shipping agent ID column in the Update Shipping Agent procedure.
- On the row called Code for shipping agent (Unifaun) you enter 1 (for EDI)
For "neutral shipping agents" (to which the shipping information is sent via Unifaun Online) do the following instead:
Neutral carriers are created in Unifaun. In the section Update Shipping Agent you can see from where the information below is loaded.
- On the row called Code for shipping agent (Unifaun) you enter Free.
- On the row called Name for service (Unifaun) you enter an optional name for the shipping agent.
- On the row called Code for service (Unifaun) you enter FREEG_AHLM in this example ("AHLM" is the code entered for the shipping agent under SubId in Unifaun)
