Generate proposed shipments when orders created

Used anytime a customer wants to generate a proposed shipment when an order is created. for syncing item fulfillments as orders.

Regenerate proposed shipments when orders updated

Delete and regenerate an order when it changes (for example, new line item needs to be added to the order).

Copy proposed shipments when split orders

When selected, ShipHawk will propose using the same proposed shipment data (for example, box size and so on) for proposed shipments that have been split from an original proposed shipment. (Typically for customers who do not have an ERP. )

Manually Generate Proposed Shipment Labels

[COX AUTOMOTIVE FEATURE ONLY]

Recalculate Package Weight when Items are changed

Specifies that the system automatically updates package weight as you add items from the user interface (use of this setting assumes the merchant has the right data in the system for the weights of all items).

Clear carrier if package was changed

If package type is changed, the selected carrier will be cleared. The user will need to re-rate to select a new carrier.

Allow export shipment line items

[COX AUTOMOTIVE FEATURE ONLY]

Ns closed orders sync

Enable to synchronize closed orders in NetSuite.

[CHECK WITH @Nibesh Moktan ]

Send tracking email

Send tracking email automatically to the merchant’s end customer. The email includes a link to the merchant’s branded tracking page. Merchants (that is, our ShipHawk customers) pay for this feature.

Hazmat enabled

Select to enable hazardous materials service. (Account-specific setting.)

Allow shipper’s letter of instruction

Always ON. (A shipper’s letter of instruction, or SLI, is an optional shipping document that communicates specific instructions from the shipper to their freight forwarding agents or intermediate consignee, usually for air or ocean shipments.)

[TO BE DEPRECATED]

Combine orders merge proposed shipments

When orders are combined, also combine the proposed shipments for those orders. Always ON. (Default should be ON.)

Allow shipping price markup/markdown

For this account, after a shipment has been booked, the merchant can mark up or down manually in the user interface, or from a rule.

Max return tracking days

Specify the number of days after which ShipHawk will stop tracking the return shipment if no tracking events have been recorded yet. Example: 60.

 

When Allow return label tracking (above) is enabled, this setting tells ShipHawk how far back to look for a return shipment.

Disable delete proposed shipments with source system

[Check with @jonathan.day; no RM ticket for addition]

Disable book without dims and weight

If true, user will not be able to book unless weights and dims are entered. If false, user will be able to book despite weights and dims not being present.

Prefer api params for items

Should be on by default for every customer. Don’t touch this setting unless you know what you’re doing.

Prefer api params for items with optimize packaging level

[No RM ticket for addition, only for above setting, per @William Stanton ]

Special case: when prefer_api_params_for_items enabled but you still want to use master-pack optimization. If enabled - we switch "Prefer API params" to "Prefer PMS items" (the same behaviour if prefer_api_params_for_items = false). It works only when prefer_api_params_for_items and optimize_packaging_level are enabled and item has master-pack.

Force users to enter an ITN for international shipments if the value of items exceeds a threshold

When enabled, shipping clerks will not be able to book a shipment without entering an ITN if product value exceeds their threshold they have setup (such as 2500). If they do not input ITN, the shipment will not go through and they will receive a clear error message noting that an ITN is required. See RM ticket #13850 for more.information.

Prevent users with ‘Shipping Clerk’ role from booking a shipment that does NOT include all items designated for that shipment

This will stop any user who is a shipping clerk from booking a shipment with multiple items, if the shipment is missing any of the items involved. See RM # 16375 for more.

Force ShipHawk users with ‘Shipping Clerk’ role to scan every item into the shipment using barcode scanners

This is only applicable and visible to accounts that are verifying line items before shipping. It will make any shipping clerk have to scan every item into the shipment prior to booking. See RM #16366 for more.

Enable IF Write Backs

Enables write back reporting, enable for every NS customer.

[Move to NetSuite integration settings]

Enable ShipHawk SPS Commerce Connector for ASN

When enabled in integrations settings, ShipHawk will write the shipment package information to SPS Commerce’s records (if available) in NetSuite instead of ShipHawk fields which allows for Advanced Ship Notice (ASN) generation.

Deprecate order origin address

Temporary flag to eliminate the concept of an origin address on outbound shipments because people are shipping from warehouses.

Special setting to help with rendering ZPL data (check with @Vasiliy Sablin )

Default destination phone number

The phone number offered by default for the destination.

Rate Timeout (sec)

Specify the cutoff time for receiving rate requests from carriers.

Maximum hardcoded timeout is 45 seconds.

Return label service

Class of service for returns. If not set, uses same service as label creation service. Typically, specify a lower level of service for return labels. For example, if the shipment to the customer was Next Day delivery, the return label could be Ground delivery.

International return label service

Class of service for returns. (Typically, specify a lower level of service for return labels.)

GI code

[TO BE DEPRECATED] – GL CODE

Child accounts feature set

Select from the following:

  • Allow child accounts [TO BE DEPRECATED]

  • Allow alternate return address [should be defaulted to ON]

  • Allow alternate return address for LTL - LTL carriers will use alternate address as origin on BOL

  • Allow ultimate consignee address – built specifically for AstroNova, but is generally available in case another customer needs to ship freight to a domestic freight forwarder that has an ultimate consignee in another country.

  • Allow book shipment before rating – this is a performance optimization setting to avoid possible lag time due to waiting for rating data.

  • Print 2 labels per page [TO BE DEPRECATED – if no one uses it]

Select items button mode

Select from drop-down: in_each_piece or in_all_pieces.

On the Orders Details screen, in the Handling Unit / Package Details section, the user manually scans an item to verify a package and clicks the Select Items button, which opens the Select Items screen. On the Select Items screen, the user can then verify the items in the package or enter a new item. The Select Items screen can function in an ‘in each piece’ mode, or an ‘in all pieces’ mode, depending on this ‘Select items button mode’ setting. The Select Items screen is where users can tell ShipHawk which items go in which boxes/commodities. (For LTL, it is commodities, which make up a handling unit, aka pallet).

in_each_piece – This mode requires the user to specify how many of each SKU are in each piece. If the user attempts to change the number of pieces in the commodity, and the piece count entered by the user does not evenly divide the quantity for each line item evenly, then the user will receive an error message: “Can’t equally spread out selected items between N packages.” With the in_each_piece setting, we force the user to describe which SKUs are in each box, which means that ShipHawk knows for certain which items are in which boxes, and can generate carton labels and write back carton information accordingly.

in_all_pieces – This mode does not require that the SKUs are evenly distributed among the pieces. For example, you can have 5 items in 6 pieces. This makes things easier for the user because they have free control to enter the number of packages in a commodity, along with the number of SKUs in that entire commodity, as opposed to in each piece in the commodity.

IMPORTANT: If you are working with carton labels, you need to select ‘in_each_piece’ rather than ‘in_all_pieces’.

NetSuite request page size

Specify the NetSuite request page size. This setting for product data sync between NetSuite and ShipHawk.

Default: 500

Although the default is 500, for many data syncs with large products and kits, this setting might need to be as low as 50 to avoid timeout. For many merchants, a setting of 200 typically works well. The key consideration is how the daata sync is subject to a timeout (the unicorn timeout, which is about 60 seconds). The best value for this setting can vary depending on the merchant’s SKU complexity, if there are child objects, if there are kits, and so on. The default setting can work for some merchants but fail for others depending on factors such as product structure complexity. The default setting could equate to a large amount of data being pulled from NetSuite and sent to ShipHawk for processing (to our products microservice, or PMS). If the timeout is exceeded before the data sync is complete, then this setting must be adjusted to a smaller number to avoid exceeding the timeout.

When enabled, ShipHawk will display freight class and NMFC at the handling unit level. User can only modify handling unit level settings.

When disabled, ShipHawk will display freight class and NMFC at the commodity level. User can only modify commodity level settings.

Set freight class based on density

Select this option to have ShipHawk automatically calculate and set the Freight Class based on Handling Unit (H.U.) density, so you can use a density-based Freight Class rather than an item-derived Freight Class. With this approach, you can reduce order processing time by automatically setting the Freight Class based on the density calculation. The user interface now shows the Total H.U. Weight and the H.U. Density.

Smart Packing: "Repack by tail" - new way of re-packing of boxes
Old behaviour - FALSE, new behaviour - TRUE
Default: on

 

Smart packing (Packing Algo)

 

Packing enabled
Enable usage of basic packing (for instance: add items without dims into one box).

[SHOULD BE DEPRECATED - always active?]

Smart packing
Enable ability to use Packing Algo (Smart Packing). The only way Packing Algo works is if all items have dimensions and box sizes that are accurate.

Smart Packing works only if if all items have dimensions and box sizes are accurate.

This setting enables the Smart Packing™ feature. ShipHawk displays the suggested box or pallet composition on the Proposed Shipment screen for each shipment order. This setting is required to begin using the Smart Packing™ feature.

 

Allow box telescoping – When this setting is enabled, Smart Packing will attempt to pack any oversized items with multiples of the same packing material to create a new custom packing material to pack the item. This process is called telescoping. The new telescoped box is still subject to the parcel weight limit of 150 lbs and any relevant dimension restrictions.

Allow boxes to be cut down – allow the Smart Packing™ algorithm to suggest creating cut down boxes. A cut down box is made by cutting along the seams of a box and folding the resulting flaps down to make a smaller carton. This suggestion is given when the smallest available box is still too large along one dimension. This setting is optional and must not be enabled for businesses that are unfamiliar with or not set up for cutting down boxes.

Avoid creation of custom box
Avoid creation of custom boxes by packing algorithm [CHANGE to opposite: default should be checked by default]

Include material wrappers
Allow packing algorithm to add material wrappers (Bubble Wrap, Shrink Wrap). (Should be OFF by default.)

Allow materials preferences
Allow materials preferences in packing algorithm. (Should be OFF by default.)

 

Pallet edge offset

How far (in inches) packages should sit from the edge of the pallet to prevent overhang during packing. Minimum distance from item to edge of pallet; can be positive or negative. Default: 2

This is the amount of space we will leave around the edge of a pallet. Default is set to "2" which means that we will leave 2" inches of space around the entire pallet. This is the amount of space we will leave around the edge of a pallet. Default is set to "2" which means that we will leave 2" inches of space around the entire pallet. Example: 48x48x4 pallet with a 2" offset leaves 44x44x4 of packing space.

Max regular box aspect ratio

Default: 10.0

The maximum length-to-width ratio for a regular box.

Max spike box aspect ratio

A spike box dictates what packing materials qualify to hold spike items.

The maximum spike ratio that will be SmartPacked™.

NOTE A Spike is an item whose length-to-width ratio resembles a javelin or “spike.” E.g. long tubes.

Default: 40.0

(A spike box is a box whose length-to-width ratio resembles a javelin or “spike.” Example: long tubes.)

Min spike box aspect ratio

The minimum spike ratio that qualifies as a spike for SmartPacking™.

NOTE A Spike is an item whose length-to-width ratio resembles a javelin or “spike.” E.g. long tubes.

Default: 5.0

Spike item aspect ratio

A spike item dictates what items qualify to be treated like spikes.

Spike item aspect ratio allows you to change the value used for the length divided by width ratio. Default is greater than or equal to 10.

Default: 10.0 Item characteristic necessary to be met in order to qualify an item as a spike. If item qualifies as a spike, it will be packed in a spike box by the packing algorithm.

Spike item min length

Spike item aspect ratio allows you to change the minimum length to classify an item as a spike. Default is 24 (greater than 24 inches).

Default: 24.0 (Item characteristic necessary to be met in order to qualify an item as a spike, to be packed in a spike box.)

Smart packing simplified after

Number of items after which Smart packing will switch to a faster mode (when items rotated as LWH, and LWH only)

Example: 500

Palletize when weight exceeds

The minimum weight of a shipment that can be palletized: palletize when weight (lbs) of items to be packaged exceeds the specified value.

Default: 70

Palletize when dimensional weight exceeds

The minimum dimensional weight of a shipment that can be palletized: palletize when dimensional weight (lbs) of items to be packaged exceeds the specified value.

NOTE Dimensional weight is a pricing method for freight that multiplies height by weight by width.

Default: 150

Palletize when package count exceeds

When algorithm produces more than the specified number of boxes, the app forces using palletized version and skips package version.

Workstations in ShipHawk are a pre-configured set of permissions and features that creates a streamlined ShipHawk interface to fulfill orders faster with fewer processing errors. ShipHawk workstation workflows are meant to be used with corresponding physical workstations in a warehouse, which are locations where warehouse associates perform picking, packing, sorting, and/or shipping. The ShipHawk workstation is a virtual counterpart to complement and enhance your physical workstation.

NOTE: When selecting Allow Workstations, you must have a URL subdomain specified in the Subdomain setting (see Details panel) in order to support workstations.

Performance features

Do not make things any faster, make it so that time does not prevent a proposed shipment from being generated or shipped.

Disable packing alg qty

Sets max items that can be fed to the packing algorithm. If over, then all items put into single package with accurate weight. If undefined uses global default. WARNING: If you need to change that setting - create a ticket for L2/L3 support

This is a threshold that can be set for your account to disable the packing algorithm when exceeding a certain quantity of items in the request.  

Customers use this to simplify workflows as some product catalogs at certain quantities are simpler to fulfill when the system falls back to non-smart packing behavior (e.g. weight only rated proposed shipments).

Allowed max quantity of packages per proposed shipment

The default is 100 packages.

WARNING: If you need to change that setting - create a ticket for L2/L3 support and explain the reasons why the customer needs it.
