Following the implementation of the Windsor Framework (see Windsor framework - information for UK based shippers) a UKIMS (UK Internal Market Scheme) number must be provided for B2B shipments from Great Britain to Northern Ireland. nShift has enabled a field for the UKIMS number in Ship on all address types.
Note: Even though you populate the UKIMS number field in Ship, the carrier may ignore it until their system is prepared to receive it.
Go to your solution:
Ship Cloud and API
Enable the field on new bookings:
- Go to Ship > New.
- Click the field selector button.
- Check the box next to UKIMS number under the relevant address type and click Save.
- The field can now be filled in when making a new shipment.
Example showing the UKIMS field in an API request:
"Addresses": [
{
"Kind": 1,
"Name1": "Jane Doe",
"Street1": "Test road 10",
"PostCode": "8000",
"City": "Aarhus C",
"Mobile": "12345678",
"ContactCSID": 10816512,
"CountryCode": "DK",
"UKIMSNumber": "UKIMStest"
}
]
To add the field to a static address:
- Go to Ship > Configuration > Actors and Carriers.
- Click on the Actor and navigate to the address section, e.g. Sender address or add an address by clicking New Configuration.
- Click on the address and click Show more to display all address fields.
- Scroll down and fill in the UKIMS number field and click save.
