Goods Shipment

In case address labels are needed to ship items via letter post service, pixi* can create such labels using the 'DHD' shipping method which can then be printed on an usual label printer.

Those labels have a static sender address and a dynamic customer-specific shipping address. The label content can be defined in pixi* Customer Service.


Configuration

To be able to use the Goods Shipment, pixi* needs to be configured accordingly.


Setting up a new Shipping Vendor

The label for Goods Shipment gets created on Ship-Out of an invoice - similar to the common polling procedure used e.g. UPS. A new shipping vendor needs to be created for this shipping method to let pixi* know on Ship-Out, how to proceed. pixi* needs to check the appropriate label template in this case - polling is not needed.


The new shipping vendor needs to be created in the Shipping Vendor table in pixi* Control Center.
It is important to set the Vendor Code to value DHD. Because of this, pixi* knows to use the label template.

Please contact our pixi* Support department in case a new shipping vendor needs to be created or modified.


Modifying the Label

Modifications to the Goods Shipment template need to be done in pixi* Customer Service > E-mails (old). The template is called [ZBRDHL].
