How To Set a Carrier Account in Test Mode
Test Accounts enable you to set up fully configured Carrier Accounts to allow for an end to end testing without sending data to the carrier. This is a fully sandboxed setup.
How to set a Carrier Account in Test Account
To set an account in Test Mode, navigate to Admin, select Carrier Accounts.
Select Edit Carrier Account, via the cog to the right of the carrier account you require to set in Test Mode.
Scroll down to Test Mode, change the flag to Yes to operate in Test Mode
Scroll down and select Save Carrier Account to save you changes.
NOTE:
You will be able to set the carrier-specific options, add rates, create and manifest consignments in Test Mode.
MachShip will highlight if you are creating a consignment on a test account to inform you this will not be a live job, you will not need to cancel any test consignments with the carrier as no data will be sent to the carrier.
Below are some examples of how this will display to the user
Consignment Creation
Unmanifested
Active Consignments
How to Disable Test Mode (Switch to Live Mode)
To switch a Carrier Account from Test Mode to Live Mode, navigate to Admin, select Carrier Accounts.
Find the carrier account currently in Test Mode and select Edit Carrier Account via the cog icon to the right of the carrier account.
Scroll down to Test Mode, change the flag from Yes to No to operate in Live Mode.
Scroll down and select Save Carrier Account to save your changes.
Any future consignments created on this account will be live consignments.
NOTE:
Consignments that were created while the account was in Test Mode will remain marked as test consignments and will not transmit to the carrier. You may need to recreate these consignments after switching to Live Mode.
