Check Digit Algorithm

Type the name of the check-digit algorithm to use to generate the check digit for the Bill of Lading (BOL) tracking number. The check digit algorithm for a Generic Carrier by default is MOD_10.

A check digit is a form of redundancy check used for error detection (the decimal equivalent of a binary checksum). In this case, the check digit consists of a single digit that the algorithm computes from the other digits in the BOL tracking number.

The name of this algorithm refers to the modulus that the check digit algorithm uses to generate the check digit for the Bill of Lading tracking number, in this case 10. For the MOD_10 algorithm, the number generated by the algorithm is divided by 10 and the remainder 0-9 is used as the check digit itself, which is then appended to the tracking number and used when required to verify that the tracking number is correct.

Parcel uses the following standard check digit algorithms:

•DSR_10

•DR_10

•SR_10

•DSR_11

•MOD_7

•MOD_10

•AADR_10

•MOD_11

•DIGIT_10

•MOD_11A

•MOD_X

•NONE

Since these are standard algorithms, more information on each type can be found online.
