How to Create a Carrier Account with Logiwest
When looking to set up a new account with Logiwest, you will then need to fill out the below specific options:
Account Code - The account code would have been provided to you when your account was set up.
Consignment Prefix - The consignment prefix will have been provided to you in the email sent.
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. Logiwest requires the creation of 2 reference pools, for the Manifest number and for 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 Logiwest Manifest Pool <Account Code>
Minimum Value - 1
Maximum Value - 999999 (that is six 9's)
Next Available Reference - 1
Cyclical - No
and
Pool Name - Set as Logiwest Connote Pool <Account Code>
Minimum Value - 1
Maximum Value - 999999 (that is six 9's)

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 to be done:
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 typed-in 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 jodi@logiwestexpress.com.au and advise them that you are starting to despatch your Logiwest account through MachShip and that you would like to receive verification on the test file and permission to start to trade. Please include the label pdf's for the manifest, 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.
