Adding new carriers to the Sterling Pierbridge Adaptor
Sterling Selling and
Fulfillment Foundation can
be easily configured to integrate with the Sterling Pierbridge Adaptor
to support other carrier services.
About this task
Note: If you are performing an upgrade
for an existing carrier that is not given as part of the factory setup,
integration with the Sterling Pierbridge Adaptor will take place only
after you perform the steps mentioned in the subsequent sections.
To add a new carrier to the Sterling Pierbridge
Adaptor, perform the following steps:
Procedure
From the YCS_GENERAL_CODES table, copy only
those records that have the value of the CarrierAdapterImplKey column
as PierbridgeAdaptor, and the Carrier Code can be any carrier.
Insert all these records back into the YCS_GENERAL_CODES
table, and change the Carrier Code to that of the new carrier that
is to be added.
The YCS_GENERAL_CODES
table provides a translation of the Sterling Selling and
Fulfillment Foundation XML
attribute values to Pierbridge-specific values with respect to some
of the attributes. Most of the attributes, such as Sunday Delivery
Required, Residential Flag, and Consignee Country, are not specific
to a particular carrier, and can be copied from any carrier. However,
attributes such as Carrier Service Code are specific to each carrier,
and such records must be modified with the appropriate AgileElite
shipment server values.
From the YFS_SCAC_ADAPTER_SUPPORT table,
copy any record that has the value of the CarrierAdapterImplKey column
as PierbridgeAdaptor, and the Carrier can be any carrier.
Insert the record back into the YFS_SCAC_ADAPTER_SUPPORT
table, and change the Carrier to that of the new carrier that is to
be added.
