DeliveryMatch & Carrier Selection

Transit Time

Not all carriers give a Delivery Date back when using the ShipIT 365 Carrier Selection feature.

To ensure that a delivery date is generated for those carriers/services when the carrier selection function is run, a setting must be configured on the DeliveryMatch portal.

This needs to be done via:

1. Settings

2. Carrier Setup

3. Setup

4. Select carrier to set

5. Configure

6. Set toggle “Unknown Transit Time” to False/No

7. Set “Transit Days” the same as in Shipping Agent Service, Shipping Time (Business Central)

Do this for all services on the carrier that does not issue Transit Times or Delivery Dates.

Response Data

The response when Carrier Selection is used, is based on DeliveryMatch business logic. DeliveryMatch can change options on what data and how many data will be parsed to the Carrier Selection page of ShipIT 365.

Herewith some examples of specific DeliveryMatch setup:

1. When on a carriers service routes are set with specific Postcodes, this will only be parsed to ShipIT 365 Carrier Selection when the request contains a matching postcode.

2. When on a carrier service conditions are set, this will ony be parsed to ShipIT 365 Carrier Selection when the request matches the condition.

Buy & Sell price

The Carrier Selection will show 2 prices:

1. Price = Buy price from DeliveryMatch

2. Sell Price = Sell price from DeliveryMatch

When both are the same, no sell price is set at DeliveryMatch.

The ShipIT 365 Freight costs feature will calculate with the Price (Buy Price) towards a Service Charge, as the Sell price already has been calculated via DeliveryMatch.

Both prices will be visible on Transport Order after a booking has been made and also in the factbox that is visible in several places.
