Shipping Update (19.04.2024)

New Features

There is an issue when you try to send Royal Mail parcels to HongKong as they don't use postcodes. We have defaulted it to an an acceptable value provided by Royal Mail to make sure you get a successful label.
We have updated the Palletways Error so that instead of getting a response that says this "error getting shipment": "code and surcharge arguments are not valid for this shipment" you will get an error that says this "error getting shipment": "Selected service not available for this destination". When you get this error it is because the service you selected is not a valid response from Palletways.

Shipping

Shipping Update (11.04.2024)

New Features

Amazon multi parcel is now supported allowing you to create more than one label for your order in the same way that you would with any other courier. You will need to assign items to the correct parcel object so that your customer knows what is in each box but we will send the data back to Amazon automatically for you.
We have added the ability for you to remove the parcel dimensions for FedEx meaning they will always charge you on what they scan and weight check vs what you submit to them. We have added as a new courier specific in Fedex called "Remove Dimensions".

Billing

Billing API Update (11.04.2024)

New Features

We have added a new section to the Billing API called warehouse actions. You can add default Warehouse Actions such as Unload 40ft container, put away pallet etc and you can set a default price too. If you want to charge a customer a price that is non standard you can easily change their pricing for some or all of the default actions in the new GUI. Creating a warehouse action is as easy as clicking the "Create Charge" button and then choosing the account type and entering a quantity and reference. The charge will be immediately added to the customers next billing cycle.

Billing

Billing API Update (03.04.2024)

New Features

Add fixed pricing for a specific SKU in picking rates. This feature allows you to choose an additional fee for a SKU or a set fee i.e. if you have the SKU LEAFLET1 you can choose to add 10p or you can choose to SET 10p. This function also allows a negative value so you can ask the system to deduct from the picking rates also.
Allow the ability to charge by cubic as well as storage locations. This feature allows you to bill storage as cubic units or by the current way of telling us what location types and quantities you want bill for. The cubic storage is decided by setting cubic bands i.e. up to 5, up to 10, up to 20 and then deciding a price per cube if the total cube falls in that band. Although the system GUI shows CBM for cubic metres the calculations are unitless and you should submit in the units you want to work in. It would be typical for you to send the call with the dimensions in metres.

These new API calls have not been added to the WMS yet but are scheduled to be soon.

The call for cubic storage is a POST request to https://production.billingapi.co.uk/api/submit-cubic-storage-charges with the headers of Bearer Token in the format of Bearer <<insert billing api token from billing api home page>>.

{

"customer_dc_id": "Insert customer id",

"items": [

{

"sku":"SKU1",

"height":"1",

"width":"1",

"length":"5",

"quantity":"3"

},

{

"sku":"SKU2",

"height":"1",

"width":"1",

"length":"1",

"quantity":"11"

}

]

}

The call for recurring storage charges is to https://billing.courierapi.co.uk/api/update-recurring-storage-charge-quantities and looks like the below where type_id is the locations storage type as defined in the billing api GUI.

[

{

"type_id": 2,

"dc_customer_id": "SAND-01",

"quantity": 3

},

{

"type_id": 3,

"dc_customer_id": "SAND-01",

"quantity": 44

},

{

"type_id": 4,

"dc_customer_id": "SAND-01",

"quantity": 33

},
