This is what happens in the video
The Shipping Manager in your Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central setup lets you work with delivery managers, which connect your shipping agents to the actual carrier services you use. Once you have set up a delivery manager and linked it to a shipping agent, you can route shipments through services such as GLS Business Services.
To set up a delivery manager, open the Delivery Manager table, enter a name, and select the send-away bill code. To finish the setup, go to Actions, then Functions, then Shipping Agents, where you combine the delivery manager with the shipping agents already in your system.
When you link a shipping agent, you also assign the relevant shipping agent ID. For example, entering the value “1” represents GLS in the Webshipper setup, so shipments tied to that agent are handled through GLS.

On the table, you enter the name of the delivery manager and select the send-away bill code. That covers the basic information needed before you connect the delivery manager to your shipping agents.
Linking delivery managers to shipping agents
