This article shows you how to configure Dynamic Ship carrier accounts, what impact the individual fields have, and what a valid configuration considers.

1. Navigate to the Dynamic Ship Carrier List page.
2. Run the Dynamic Ship Setup Wizard if the following table is blank.
3. Follow the instructions on the page.
4. Add the entries to the Dynamic Ship Carrier List to retrieve labels if the carrier you want to use is not configured:

• • Code: The Business Central Shipping Agent Code. You can look up and alter this by searching for Shipping Agents. This allows Dynamic Ship to correlate Freight Integration Provider values to the user’s Business Central configuration.
  • Name: The Business Central Shipping Agent’s name and is decorative.
  • Account ID: The Freight Integration Provider Identifying Value. You must retrieve this value from your Freight Integration Provider. You must configure your shipping accounts through EasyPost or another supported integration. The EasyPost ID follows the format ca_alphanumeric.
  • Freight Integration Provider Code: The Dynamic Ship Freight Integration Provider. You must configure this to point to the correct Freight Integration Provider to use for the carrier based on the Code and Account ID fields. You must configure valid provider by searching and opening the Dynamic Ship Freight Integration Providers. EasyPost is configured if you run the Dynamic Ship Setup Wizard.
  • Manifest Report Handling: The System or Carrier. Only change this default configuration if you understand the impact. When the value is System, a Business Central Report is run to manifest the shipments. No communication is made to the carrier. If you change this to Carrier, the configured Freight Integration Provider is queried to generate the manifest. The Freight Integration Provider must implement manifesting through the carrier’s respective system for this to function; otherwise, an error occurs, and no manifest is generated.
  • Include in Freight Quoting: Yes or No. This configuration affects which Dynamic Ship Carriers are used for Freight Quotes/Estimates from the Sales Order and Sales Quote pages. You must change this to No to exclude them if needed. Recommended if you have multiple accounts for the same carrier servicing the same location.
    • You must configure the services a carrier can utilize. To do this, select the action Services. The action is under the Carrier grouping in the actions ribbon. You may also use the search in the top right (Alt+Q) to find the action. This action is context sensitive and recalls only the services for the currently selected carrier. If the service you want to use is not listed, you must add it before it can be successfully used within Dynamic Ship.

The page that now opens will have the following table details:

• If using carrier provided packaging, you must configure the Dynamic Ship Carrier Predefined Packages. The action is under the Carrier grouping in the actions ribbon. You may also use the search in the top right (Alt+Q) to find the action. To do this, select the action Predefined Packages. This action is context sensitive and will recall only the predefined packages for the currently selected carrier.

• If you have multiple accounts with a carrier and wish to use them with different Business Central Locations, then you must configure the Dynamic Ship Carrier Accounts. The action is under the Carrier grouping in the actions ribbon. You may also use the search in the top right (Alt+Q) to find the action. To do this, select the action Accounts by Location. This action is context sensitive and will recall only the predefined packages for the currently selected carrier.
