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. TGE IPEC requires the creation of 2 reference pools, for the Connote number and Manifest.
To create the reference pool select the Create Carrier Reference Pool button at the bottom of the page.

Primary Reference Type:
For certain carriers, MachShip is configured to utilise the internal reference known as the MachShip number as reference one. This is done for carriers to ensure
1. Known reference for invoice reconciliation
2. Known reference for tracking
This may affect how you are currently working with a carrier and as such if you wish to still use your reference please set the primary reference type as Customer Reference
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 integrate@teamglobalexp.com. and advise them that you are starting to despatch your IPEC 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 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.
