The Shipping Manager app for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is downloaded from AppSource. After downloading, you need to activate it and run through a short setup guide before you can start using it.
When the app is installed but not yet activated, you see a notification on the Role Center. You can activate the app directly from there.
During setup, you enter an email address for communication about your trial period. You also assign number series for way-bills and packaging units. You can use your own number series or the default ones that come with the app.
Once you finish the setup guide, Shipping Manager is ready to use.

The install guide asks you to assign number series for way-bills and packaging units. You have two options here:
