It is possible to send electronic invoices in On-premises if your carrier supports it. The steps below explain how to add the customs information in the Details fields. (It is also possible to attach an external document, read more in the article Attaching an external document to a shipment).
- In order to fill in all the information needed for the invoice, the group Details must be activated in the Production view. Select Tools in the menu and then Setup Current View.
- Under the Groups tab, check Details and click OK.
- Select the service used for electronic invoicing. (It is called Commercial Invoice (Paperless) on UPS and Paperless Trade on DHL Express).
- Specify the needed number of Detail Lines in the Goods Information and fill in the fields in the Details section. Please note that there are 2-3 tabs with fields depending on the carrier.
- Click Print to finish and print the label.
Integrations
If you are using import (integration from ERP system or similar), you need to map the Details fields. Please be aware that carriers have different requirements for the custom details so even though many of the fields are similar, they will vary from carrier to carrier.
Below is a table with all the Details fields. The name of the fields in On-premises may vary from carrier to carrier but the name in the Import setup will always be the same. The table shows which fields are supported by 4 of the carriers supporting paperless invoicing. The Kind ID is used in Shipment Server, see more here.
