Shipping Rules UI Lesson 5: Use cases
- Use case 1: Select products based on weight and country
- Use case 2: Select products based on Postcode Range
- Use case 3: Using Service Levels for easy product selection
- Use case 4: Using Service Levels for parcels and pallets combined with Select Rules
Use case 2:
Company Y is based in Denmark, and they only ship domestic packages. They use carrier GLS to deliver their parcels, except for some postcode areas in Copenhagen where they use DAO.
Follow these steps to set up this example in the Shipping Rules UI:
- Go to Shipping Rules > File > Drafts and click the New button. Name your file and click Create.
- Click on the three-dot menu next to the new file and choose Edit.
- Under Additional Options, check Use select rules and click Next.
- Click New, select a product, and click Create. In this example, we are using DAO > DAO Distribution (new) > DAO Direkte.
- Click the arrow next to the name and add a condition. Choose Receiver > Postcode > Use ranges. Enter DK in the country code field. Choose Include and set the Postcode type to Numeric. In this example, we set the Min value to 1000 and the Max value to 2500, which covers the Copenhagen postcodes.
- Click the New button again to add another Select Rule. This one will be used for all other packages to Denmark.
- Select a product and click Create. In this example, GLS DK > GLS National > Normal privatpakke is used and the service Må stilles uden kvittering is added.
- Click the arrow next to the name to add a condition. Select Receiver > Country > DK. This will apply to all packages to DK that do not fit the postcode range of the first rule. You may set another postcode range, but it is unnecessary since the first rule takes precedence. This ensures the second product acts as a fallback for the first if any data is missing.
- Click the Save button at the top.
- Go to the File tab and locate your file under Drafts. Click the wrench icon and choose Publish. The file is now active and will be used the next time you create a shipment.
