Overview
Another variation of third party billing is shipping to a Custom Address location where no previous third-party billing information is known. Using the Customer “Quezad Lumber Leasing” shown in the previous setup example, we’ll start by entering a sales order and then creating an item fulfillment record where the Custom Address feature is used to enter a new address as shown below:
Item Fulfillment Record Processed in Pacejet
When the item fulfillment record is processed in Pacejet, there is no third-party record for the Custom Address causing the Shipment Details section to use the “Corporate FedEx” record from setup as shown below:
Re-rate Using UPS Ground
Users could again click the “clear” button beside the “Carrier-Service” field in the Shipment Details section, re-rate the shipment and select UPS Ground as shown in the screenshot below. Notice how selection of UPS Ground as the Carrier-Service causes Pacejet to automatically load the “Corporate UPS” records for third party billing since it is marked as “Default” as shown below and this Custom Address ship-to cannot have an account setup:
Default Account Records
Looking back at the NetSuite Customer setup to verify this example, recall that there are no records defined for the Custom Address entered for shipping. However, Pacejet will use the Default Account records for billing rather than leaving the information blank.
This simple example shows how Default Account records can be used to provide an overall “corporate carrier account set” which is used for any Custom Address records entered during the shipping process.
