The integration set up with the carrier Branched Logistics does not require any specific information to be provided by their IT team, as such the only specific options are:

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

Reference Pools - Reference pools are utilised by MachShip in order to maintain a count on connotes, 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.

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 Branched Logistics Manifest Ref Pool <Account Code> 
Minimum Value - 0
Maximum Value - 999999 (that is six 9's)
Next Available Reference -  1
Cyclical - No

and

Pool Name - Set as Branched Logistics Connote Pool <Account Code> 
Minimum Value - 1
Maximum Value - 999999 (that is six 9's)
Next Available Reference -  1
Cyclical - No

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

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 job and type in the Reference 1, Reference 2 and the Delivery Special Instructions as THIS IS A TEST. Once this has been created it will be booked with the carrier. 

If you receive a successful manifest message from MachShip then please send an email to the Branched Logistics Team and advise them that you are starting to despatch your Branched Logistics account through MachShip and that you would like to receive verification on the test file and permission to start to trade.

Please include the job 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.
