Cautions:
•The Parcel UI enforces Account Number lengths for some but not all of the carriers listed in the table above by not allowing entry of numbers with lengths greater than the maximum. However, if you add a carrier with an Account Number length that exceeds the maximum value, Parcel may not save any data you enter for that carrier. You must delete and re-add the carrier with the correct Account Number.
•The field lengths listed in the previous table reflect the maximum number of characters that can be typed in the field. The actual account number that you receive when you set up an account with the carrier may be shorter than this maximum allowed length. Be careful to accurately type in the Account Number that you received from the carrier.
