Documentation

Definition

The shipper account number uniquely identifies a shipper for the express delivery company.

The shipper account number can be determined using one of the following procedures:

  1. Shipper account number in the Express Delivery Company Cockpit:
    This number is necessary for identifying the data as it is uploaded into the Express Delivery Company Cockpit. (It is also necessary for BAPI_CAR_PRVD_LABEL_DATA.) If you use the search help, the system suggests external account numbers from the accounting segment, provided that express delivery company indicators have been assigned to carriers. (It is best to use only one number to identify a shipper account, since more than one number referring to the same shipper account leads to confusion.)
  2. Meta data:
    You can define a shipper account number as a standard value by using qualifier for external communication = SHIPACCT.
  3. Meta-data per shipping point:
    You can set a standard value for the shipping point. This standard value overrides the shipper account number.
  4. Using the carrier's external account number as a shipper account number by using the XSI_GET_SHIPPER_ACCOUNT function module
    Please note:
    If a company code cannot be clearly identified using the order, the system uses the first account number it finds automatically without providing a notification message.
  5. Function modules that you have defined in the meta data
  6. Customer's shipper account number
    (This is not implemented yet for orders, but it is possible to enter it manually in the delivery if you define the SHIPACCT meta field to allow manual entries. This flag can be maintained by using the 0VVT transaction at XSI indicator level.)
