025162: DPD Ship@Ease Neo Windsor Framework changes

1. Overview

 KCSL have enhanced the DPD Ship@Ease Neo courier integration to include the required changes for shipments to Northern Ireland under the Windsor framework.

 

2. Specification

This builds on the changes made in 025161 MyDHL Windsor Framework changes  which add UKIMS options to the company screen, imports, and various webservices.


3. Configuration

An update and a changelog will be applied as part of this development. The additional configuration steps are as follows.

DPD Ship@Ease Neo couriers now have a new option in the right click > Configure... option in [ System Data | Couriers ] called 'Shipper UKIMS' Number. The UKIMS can be set here, against individual customers in [ Customer | Detail | Financial ] , or both.



These new fields will need to be manually mapped in the correct order in your MyDPD account in the same way all other fields are mapped. For now, these should be set to 'Ignore Field' in the MyDPD app, until DPD release an option for UKIMS numbers.

The shipper's UKIMS number can be found in the column before the shipper's EORI number. The customer's UKIMS number can be found in the column before the customer's EORI number.

Further info on mappings can be found here: Courier Options Dialog - DPD Ship@Ease.

4. Usage

After applying the above Configuration, typical steps for usage would include the following:

 1. Files exported to DPD Ship@Ease will now include a UKIMS Number for the shipper (the number set in System Data | Couriers ]) and the recipient (the number set in [ Customer | Detail | Financial ]).

For example :

 a. If both the customer and the courier have UKIMS Numbers:

      The export will populate the Shipper's UKIMS column with the Courier UKIMS Number.

      The export will populate the Recipient's UKIMS column with the Customer UKIMS Number.

 

b. If the customer has a UKIMS Number but the courier does not.

      The export will populate the Shipper's UKIMS column with the Customer UKIMS Number.

      The export will populate the Recipient's UKIMS column with the UKIMS Number.

 

c. If the courier has a UKIMS Number but the customer does not.

      The export will populate the Shipper's UKIMS column with the Courier UKIMS Number.

      The Recipient's UKIMS column will be left blank.

 

d. If neither the customer or the courier have UKIMS Numbers (e.g. for non-NI orders).

      Both the Shipper and the Recipient's UKIMS column will be left blank.
