How to Create a Carrier Account with Buller Freight Mansfield

How to Create a Carrier Account with Buller Freight Mansfield

When looking to set up a new account with Buller Freight Mansfield, we don't need to send an email to the carrier since tracking has been initially set upon customer account code creation and they don't have any requirements for the connote prefix. 

We need to fill out the specific options. These are:


Account Code - The account code would have been provided to you when your account was set up.

Consignment Prefix - You can assign any 3-letter code you want for this field.

Reference Pools - Reference pools are utilised by MachShip in order to maintain a count on connotes, manifests and item numbers. The reference pool will ensure that each of those numbers is unique to what we have sent to the carrier previously. More information can be obtained on reference pools here. Buller Freight Mansfield requires the creation of just 1 reference pool, for the Connote number.

To create the reference pool select the Create Carrier Reference Pool button at the bottom of the page


If you are creating a new account then the Reference Pools will be set to the following fields:

Pool Name - Set as Buller Freight Mansfield Connote Ref Pool <Account Code
Minimum Value - 1
Maximum Value - 999999 (that is six 9's)
Next Available Reference -  1
Cyclical - No

It will appear as below:


Once created it will appear in the drop-down as below:

 

Test:

Once the account has been set up and all of the rates have been added, you will need to run a test to ensure that upon go-live, everything will run successfully. To do this, create a consignment - please make Reference 1 and Reference 2 and the delivery special instructions THIS IS A TEST. Once this has been created please manifest the consignment to the carrier. If you experience any issues please contact support@machship.com.

If you receive a successful manifest message from MachShip then please send an email to your account manager and advise them that you are starting to despatch your Buller Freight Mansfield account through MachShip and that you would like to receive verification on the test file and permission to start to trade. Please include the labels pdf's for the manifest, the connote, and the items.

Advise your account manager of the connote number and request that they should cancel this to ensure that you are not charged. Please cc integrations@machship.com on this email so we can help if required. 

On confirmation from the support team that the set up is validated, you are free to begin to consign.
