When creating a shipment with an external courier (DHL, Royal Mail, DPD, etc.) the system will automatically use a default sender reference containing data taken from the following fields:
Client Short Name.
Order Reference.
This data will be entered on one Sender Reference Field for the shipment (e.g. Mintsoft-1234) and usually appears on the shipping label itself.
However, for some couriers (Please confirm with the courier prior), it is possible to enter multiple senders' references by utilising the additional fields within Mintsoft.
The following fields can be used by the Courier References feature in Mintsoft:
Order Number.
Client Short Name.
Client Short Name & Order ID (System default).
OMS Order ID (Internal order ID).
External Order reference.
Single Line SKU.
If the order contains multiple SKU lines the reference will default to MULTI-Order ID.
Single Line SKU & QTY.
If the order contains multiple SKU lines the reference will default to MULTI-Order ID.
