Sub-process 2 - Fill Properties

Purpose

Although the information on the package size will not be printed on the shipping label, the DSV system requires this information for their planning. Therefore, BC must provide information on package size so that API requests from BC can be accepted and processed by DSV. If this information is incomplete or missing, it will lead up to an error message during API requests and the shipping label cannot be printed.

How to define properties

Option 1

Fill the height, width, length, and weight in the item attributes (see Master Data Preparation). The properties can be left empty because the module will use the information from the item attributes to form requests.

Option 2

(1) Fill the package length in CM (2) Fill the package width in CM (3) Fill the package height in CM (4) Fill in the default package weight in KG

Attention

• The master data in the item card has priority. If the length, width, height, and weight of items are defined as attributes on the item cards, they will always be forwarded to DSV.
• The purpose of communicating item attributes to DSV is to provide the estimated package sizes, not the accurate package sizes.
• In case the item attributes are not defined in the item card, the system will communicate the filled length, width, height, and weight of packages to DSV under "Properties" on the DSV Setup page.
• The user will receive an error message if neither the item attribute nor property is filled.
• Please fill in the required information completely. Any missing information will lead to an error message.
• Please pay close attention to the unit of measure while entering the properties. Please use only the unit of measure that DSV accepts.
