When you set up shipping agents in Business Central, you also need to define the shipping agent services for each agent. These services determine which delivery options you can select on your waybills, such as overnight or standard delivery. This article walks through how to add shipping agent services and use them when shipping orders.
Setting up shipping agent services
Once you have finished setting up your shipping agents, the next step is to add the shipping agent services. You do this on the Shipping Agent Services page.
Here you enter the specific services that each agent provides. This is where you register the delivery options the agent offers, so they are ready to use later in your shipping process.
Selecting shipping agent services on the waybill
When you work on the waybill, you can choose from the services tied to a given agent. First you select the desired shipping agent. After that, you pick the corresponding shipping agent service.
This two-step selection makes sure the service you choose actually belongs to the agent handling the shipment, which keeps your delivery setup consistent.
