Fields
General
Most of this group is maintained by the connector itself and is read-only. Only Enabled and Open Label After Creation are yours to set.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Code | Unique provider code (assigned by the connector). |
| Name | Display name of the shipping provider. |
| Description | Short description of the connector. |
| Enabled | Releases the provider for label creation. |
| Open Label After Creation | Hands the generated label documents straight to the download after successful creation — see below. |
| Status | Current state of the connector (colour-coded). |
| Shipping Agent Code | The Business Central shipping agent this provider is linked to. |
| Connector App Name, Connector Version | Origin and installed version of the connector. |
| Last Label Created | When the last label was created. |
| Last Error Message, Last Error DateTime | The last error reported by the provider. |
Capabilities
Supports Manifesting, Supports Retoure Labels, Supports Bulk Labels, Supports Cancellation, Supports Multi-Colli, Supports Customs and Supports Tracking are reported by the connector. They cannot be set, but they do shape the UI — without Supports Customs the customs fields are hidden, without Supports Manifesting there is no pickup schedule.
Further sections
| Section | Content |
|---|---|
| Provider Settings | The connector shows its own setup here (e.g. DHL). |
| Package List | Manifest Report Note — additional text at the top of the internal package list. Plain text or HTML (<b>, <i>, <br/>). Typical use: carrier account number, depot number, billing reference. |
| Pickup Schedule (this provider) | Pickup windows, only for providers with manifesting. |
| General Shipment Settings | Platform-wide defaults across all providers. |
| License | License status of the corresponding module. |
Open Label After Creation
This setting decides whether you receive the generated documents right away:
| State | Behaviour |
|---|---|
| On (default) | After single creation the label is offered for download immediately. After a batch run all documents of the run are handed out as one ZIP file. |
| Off | Nothing is downloaded. The documents remain available in the shipment label list. |
When to switch it off
Only when the labels are not needed on screen anyway — for instance when printing directly through the print service. For every other workflow the switch should stay on; otherwise a batch run ends without output and the labels have to be fetched one by one.
Actions
| Action | Description |
