Populating Required Information

When you process a dangerous goods package in Parcel with DHL as the carrier, you can select the dangerous goods Hazmat Code from a drop-down list on the Item sub-tab of the Dangerous Goods tab on the DHL Warehouse Options screen. This list is populated from the Global Settings > Dangerous Goods Data table, which contains data about all of the hazardous materials that you ship. When you select the Hazmat Code for an item on the Item sub-tab, all of the data for that Item populates the Item sub-tab. This data is displayed in Web Admin under Global Settings and is editable. For example, you can add Emergency Contact information on an item-by-item basis. For more information, see the following Help topic: Carrier Compliance - Dangerous Goods (Hazmat).
