Delivery by Common Carrier
Return to: Delivery/Return Feature Set
Overview
At times Assets may be transferred to a customer or another location using a common carrier. A common carrier is a 3rd party company used for shipping. UPS and FedEx are examples of common carriers.
TrackAbout supports this and allows customers to record the common carrier name and tracking number on either the Create Invoice/Order page of the website or with the Deliver action on the Handheld.
How Does it Work?
Common Carrier needs to first be set up by your TrackAbout Support team.
Once enabled, during Standard Delivery, you can scan the common carrier's tracking number. Each carrier has their own validation string stored in the DB, which is applied. Validation is also applied when tracking numbers are entered by keyboard upon clicking Continue.
