Ship Via TMS Carrier Mappings (SU03)

The Ship Via TMS Carrier Mappings (ibis_su03) program allows you to define the details of the TMS carriers used by TMS in the shipping module of Packing Station. Ship via codes are defined in the Ship Vias (ibis_suv) view.

Note: The TMS fields are only available if the Packing Station module is initialized in Company Control Initialization (ibis_cc00/Packing Station/TMS Parameters).

  • When you open the ship via program, PointForce tries to connect to your TMS server. As the connection is made, the following message displays: "Attempting to establish a connection to the TMS system. Please wait." Once a connection is established, the message clears and you can enter information into the ship via table.

  • If the TMS Server is unavailable, the following message displays when you open the ship via window: "Unable to retrieve services from TMS. OK". You cannot successfully enter information in this table until a connection to TMS is established. This message is a possible indicator that one or more fields in CC00/Packing Station/TMS Parameters may be set up incorrectly. We recommend that you check the information entered on the TMS Parameters window in CC00; for more information, see the Packing Station/TMS Parameters (CC00) topic.

  • You can set up new ship vias in the Ship Vias (ibis_suv) view but you will not be to apply the desired TMS Gateway and Service Code information to the ship via until service has been restored.

In order to display ship via information, enter or select from the query a ship via code in the ship via field.

If TMS is activated in CC00/Packing Station/TMS, the following fields are included in SU03:

  • TMS Gateway - from the drop down list, select TECSYS TMS. This field is mandatory in order to link the ship via to the TMS system.

  • TMS Service Code - the items in the drop down list are predefined on the TMS Server for your site. Select the TMS Service Code that matches the current ship via. This field is mandatory in order to link the ship via to the TMS system. For more information, please contact your TECSYS Professional Service representative.

  • COD Required - when this check box is selected, only services that support cash on delivery (COD) are listed on the shop for services folder on the Freight Rate screen in the TMS portion of Shipping Entry (PS41) when this ship via is used.

When all of the information is entered, click Submit to update the record.
