Account information:
This information can be requested from your PostNL account manager, so we can configure the connection on our carriercode PNA:
- Customer number/account number
- Customer code
- BLS/location code (number of sorting center)
- APIKEY (please provide this in plain text, not in screenshot format). Possibly you have a separate production (live) and sandbox (test) API key. Transsmart has generic testing credentials meaning the sandbox one is not needed.
- Global pack customer code (when wanting Global Pack services)
- at least 1 automatic manifesting time on/around which PostNL usually comes to collect shipments from your warehouse. We have to configure this so the shipments get manifested/confirmed to PNA right after that moment. Not doing so will result in surcharges from the carrier.
- For some return services. a separate return customer code can be needed (only your PostNL accoun manager can verify this for you).
- For some exotic services to ship to non-EU destinations, a separate non-EU customer code can be needed (only your PostNL accoun manager can verify this for you).
In regards to the APIKEY; this will be set by your account manager of PostNL on your ApiManager on PostNL's portal. Unfortunately we are not allowed to request this data at PostNL.
Services:
We always need to receive a list of which PostNL services you want to start using. These are usually in a 4-digit format. For more information and advice on product codes you can contact your PostNL account manager.
