The LTL Carrier Preferences setup is used to configure the PRO Number generation in the Sterling Warehouse Management System.
PRO Number refers to the unique progressive or serial number assigned by the carrier to identify and track a specific shipment. This is used on freight bills, bills of lading, and waybills for invoicing and tracking purposes.
A warehouse may define the range of PRO Numbers assigned by a carrier. The PRO Number has a fixed length defined for each carrier, and may contain a prefix.
PRO Number is typically generated during routing for a load with carrier type 'LTL'. The PRO number is regenerated automatically when the carrier/service on the load is changed.
Use LTL Carrier Preferences to create, modify, or delete LTL Carrier Preferences.
