How to create a Carrier Account with Bascik New Zealand
When looking to set up a new account with Bascik you will need to contact their IT department and advise them that you are looking to despatch your account through MachShip. Their team can be contacted at support@bascik.co.nz. Please CC: integrations@machship.com in your email.
Your email should be as follows:
Hi Team,
I need to set up my account <insert account code> with Bascik so that I may consign with my new FMS partner MachShip. Can you please advise what my consignment prefix should be?
Can you please also link or add my account to MachShip's API user api@machship.com?
Once the Bascik team responds, you will then fill out the specific options:
Account Code -
The account code will have been provided to you when your account was set
up.
Consignment Prefix -
This will be the prefix received in the above email from the carrier.
Reference Pools -
Reference pools are utilised by MachShip in order to maintain a count on
connote, manifest 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. Bascik 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 one as Bascik Connote Pool <Account Code>
Minimum Value - 1
Maximum Value - 999999
(that is six 9's)
Next Value - 1
Cyclical - No
It should appear as below and select Create Carrier Reference Pool button to create.
Once saved it will appear in the drop-down as below:
Should you already be trading on an existing account please set the next available field as 1000 consignments higher than the highest connote number on your previous account.
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 as 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 support@bascik.co.nz and advise their team that you are starting to despatch your Bascik 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 the support team 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 setup is validated, you are free to begin to consign.
