Customer Profile Overrides to Packaging Code (#57, Summer 2002)

Traffic/CIS contains a setting, under the Database Builder option Cost the Database, to set the packaging code priority as either the Customer Profile or the shipment data from the probill record.  This priority applies to shipments as outlined below:

·    If the priority is set to Customer Profile, then the packaging code stated in a matching customer profile will always apply.

·    If the priority is set to the probill record then:

·    If the probill record packaging code is zero, the Customer Profile will apply.

·    If the shipment record contains any of the three “base” packaging codes:

1 – Unitized

2 – Palletized, or

3 – Loose Pieces

Then the Customer Profile will not apply, unless the Customer Profile specifies a combination packaging code (4 through 8) meaning that the packaging changes during the move, in which case the Customer Profile will override the shipment data.

In either of the cases above where the customer profile applies, if a particular shipment has a Customer Profile with packaging codes for both the shipper and the consignee, the packaging code for the shipper applies.
