Additional Courier Labels

If you have a local courier then it is also possible to print labels and record orders with that Courier as well as with DX.


To do this,  lets assume that we are going to add courier Local.

In Settings set

Courier
Courier Codes to Local


We also need to set a shipping code in the customer record that are going to use the Courier. Select a customer and in the Shipping use the ? to add code LOC and Description Local.  Local can then be selected from the drop down list.  Set other customers to this Shipping when you are ready.

Go into Reports / Courier.

Local will be in the  drop down list. Select this and

Set Shipping group to LOC.
Set Lab ID   eg your name
Set Lab Sender code  eg your account number with the courier.
Set Next Number   eg 1000.

In order for the label print to be made the layout files need to be set up. The easiest will be to use the DX layout and then modify that.


Copy courier_DX.layoutdefs  files in layout_files to courier_loc.layoutdefs
Repeat for courier_DX.layoutfiles to courier_loc.layoutfiles


Replace the loc with first three characters of the courier code set in the first step, so if you are using Royal Mail then ROY.

You can then use the layout manager to selecte this layout and modify as needed.
