Purolator - Configuring Purolator Northbound |
Scroll |
If you are shipping via a Purolator carrier from a location in the United States to any destination that Purolator services, you can take advantage of a special shipping method called Northbound. With Northbound, a shipment consists of two stages: a first leg shipment to a Purolator Induction Point within Canada, and then a second leg shipment with delivery to the final destination. Northbound thus enables you to set up an Parcel Location with a US address, configure a Purolator carrier under this location, and then ship to any destination that Purolator services.
When you configure a Purolator carrier, Parcel includes a Web Admin screen titled "Northbound" under the carrier. Use this screen to add Induction Points to the Purolator carrier.
Notes:
•All Induction Points are located within Canada. Purolator provides a list of these Induction Points.
•For a description of these and for information on processing a Northbound Consolidation shipment including how Purolator Induction Points work, see the following Help topic: Processing a Shipment with Purolator Northbound.
To configure Induction Points for the Purolator Carrier follow these steps:
1.To add an induction point, select the Purolator carrier, and then, under the carrier, select Northbound to display the Northbound screen.
2.Click [NEW] to display the Induction Point popup screen for entering information for an Induction Point.
3.Enter the name and address information for the Induction Point in the appropriate fields, and then click [SAVE] to save the new Induction Point or click [CANCEL] to exit the dialog without saving any data.
Note: When you click [SAVE] to add a new Induction Point, the Induction point is added to the inactive Induction points in the list on the left. These are stored in the database and can be made active by moving them to the list on the right (see step 4). To make an Induction Point inactive, move it from the list on the right to the list on the left.
