Shipping Preferences and Setup
To enable Shipping functionality in aACE, several settings and preferences need to be set.
Couriers, Package Types, and Courier Services
Couriers, related Package Types, and Courier Services need to be populated. These entries will, in turn, populate the drop-down lists in the Orders and Shipments modules.
These can be set up by selecting System Admin from the Main Menu, then Preferences. In the Preferences window, select Shipping Setup.
In the Courier Services table, each Service should be assigned a Ship Rate Type and a Rate Value.
There are 4 Ship Rate Types:
- Fixed Price - delivers a price to the client of a fixed dollar amount.
- Fixed Mark Up - delivers a price to the client of a fixed dollar amount over and above the Cost assigned to the Shipment.
- Mark Up % - delivers a price to the client of a percentage mark-up over and above the Cost assigned to the Shipment.
- Margin % - delivers a price to the client of a percentage margin based off the Cost assigned to the Shipment.
If a large number of Courier Services need to be populated at once, they may be imported using the Import Courier Services link. Follow the prompts to download a template, populate it, then import it into the table.
The Couriers and Package Types all need to be entered manually.
Shipping Department Designation
Departments need to be set as a "Shipping" type department in the Office module. Also, a Traffic Manager needs to be assigned for each.
Third Party Software Integration - Enable NRG
Shipping Integration needs to be enabled.
This can be done by selecting System Admin from the Main Menu, then Preferences. In the Preferences window, select Database Management.
Check the checkbox next to Shipping Integration.
Once enabled, the Open Preferences link is activated. Clicking the link will open a new Shipping Integration window.
Select NRG.
