Rhenus Services
The connector reports the Rhenus services to the hub and creates them as shipping agent services. In the Create Label dialog you choose the appropriate service per shipment; you set a default in the setup.

Standard
STANDARD is the regular LTL freight service without a time commitment. No delivery date required.
Express (Next Day)
EXPRESS variants commit to delivery on the next day — optionally with a time window (08:00 / 10:00 / 12:00).
Fixed date
FIX variants deliver on a fixed date — optionally with a time window.
Delivery date mandatory for FIX services
For all FIX* services you must provide a delivery date in the Create Label dialog. It must be in the future and must not be a Sunday (Rhenus delivers Mon–Sat). The date is validated on creation.
Transmission in BORD512
Express and Fix services are transmitted in the BORD512 as a premium service (text key) in record H00. For FIX services, the additional text contains the delivery date (format DDMMYYYY).
