Prerequisites
Before adding a (Billing) Account, ensure that:
The Client Profile has been created. See: How to create a Client profile [Step-by-Step guide].
This setup uses a Baseline Account as the foundation. To create and configure one specific to this carrier, see: How to Add a Day & Ross / Day & Ross LTL Baseline Account [Guide].
Follow the configuration steps as described in How to Add a Client (Billing) Account [Step-by-Step guide] using the values provided below.
The carrier code selected in the core step-by-step setup determines whether the account is added as Day & Ross or Day & Ross LTL.
Carrier-Specific Instructions
The Carrier tab contains the carrier-specific configuration used to define operational behavior for this Client (Billing) Account. Fields in this view are grouped visually to distinguish mandatory (red-highlighted items) and optional (blue-highlighted items) carrier-specific settings.
 | Service code: Enter the Day & Ross service code to be used for this Client (Billing) Account. This field is required and defines the carrier service applied to shipments for this client. |
| |
The service code configured in this field determines whether this Client (Billing) Account operates through the Day & Ross or Day & Ross LTL plugin flow.
|
 | Override WMS Service Code: Enable this option when the WMS-provided service code must be overridden for Day & Ross processing. Use it only when the client requires a different carrier service mapping than the one coming from the source order. |
 | Package description: Enter the package or commodity description to be sent for this client when applicable. Use this field when a fixed description is required in the carrier request. |
 | Commodity freight class: Use this field to define the commodity freight class sent for this client when required. Configure it according to the client’s freight setup. |
 | Freight NMFC class: Use this field to define the NMFC class value for freight processing when applicable. Configure it with the value the client uses for this carrier flow. |
 | Bill To: Enter the Day & Ross bill-to account to be used for shipment billing on this Client (Billing) Account. This field is required and controls how shipment charges are billed for the client. |
 | Specify customs broker: Enable this option when the client’s shipment flow requires customs broker details. Configure it only when broker-specific handling applies. |
 | Sender name and Sender company: Enter the sender contact name and sender company to be used for this client. These fields are required in this section and define the sender identification passed in the client-specific carrier setup. |
 | Override sender address: Enable this option when the client must use sender details different from the Baseline address configuration. Use it only when a client-specific sender address override is required. |
 | To enable carrier-specific settings —and before continuing—, press Save. |
