International Defaults

 

Overview

There is a lot of extra information required when completing an international shipment.  This information resides in the item record in NetSuite.  You can also set up default values to use in case the item record doesn't have the necessary information.  You may be required to manually enter that missing information in the carrier software before your packages can be shipped.
 
OzLINK automatically decides which line items on a transaction should be included in the international documentation.  OzLINK will include any line that has all the following:
  • A name in the Item column
  • A Quantity greater than 0
  • A Rate greater than 0
If there are any lines missing a piece of this information (for example a line that only has a description) then OzLINK won't move that information into the international shipping documentation.  You can adjust any necessary details in your carrier software after OzLINK has moved the information but before you have processed the shipment.
 
NOTE: To access this window, first open the Settings menu in OzLINK for UPS, then click Shipping.  Make sure NetSuite is selected as your information source.  Click Configure Business Rules.  In the new settings window that opens, click the Advanced menu, then click International Defaults.
