[Insert screenshot here]

Service code: Select the default service used for shipments processed through this Client (Billing) Account.

Package type: Defines the package type stated to the carrier for shipments processed through this Client (Billing) Account.

Freight Class: Sets the freight class used when the order does not provide a different value. Consolidated commodity line items use the Billing Account freight class.

Consolidate commodity line items: When enabled, techSHIP submits one consolidated commodity line item per handling unit instead of one line item per SKU. The generated BOL displays the configured consolidated commodity description.

Override WMS Service Code: Controls whether the configured Billing Account service code is used instead of the service code received from the WMS.

The customer's Estes account number: Identifies the Estes account used for this client’s shipping charges.

Shipment and BOL reference fields: Use Shipment Id (SID) number, Master Bill of Lading number, Purchase Order, and Bill of Lading number to send selected dynamic values or fixed reference values with the shipment.

Default Freight Payment Terms: Defines the freight payment terms used unless the order provides a different value.

Contact and notification fields: Use Contact first name, Contact last name, and the notification checkboxes to define contact and notification details for shipments processed through this account.

Sender address: Defines the sender name and company for shipments processed through this Client (Billing) Account. Use Override sender address when the sender address must differ from the Baseline Account sender address.

Broker and billing address controls: Use Specify customs broker and Override billing address when those shipment address details must be provided for this client.
