Overview
This article will explain how to add ProBill blocks to a Pacejet portal.
It will also show the standard formatting for each common LTL Carrier.
Steps
1. The Customer will need to acquire a ProBill block the carrier.
-
The customer will need a sequential block, as well as the number of expected ProBills in order to add the block to Pacejet.
-
Usually, it will look something like 12341001 - 12342000, which is 1000 ProBills.
It will almost always be 100, 500, or 1000 ProBills in a sequence.
It will always be a round number.
-
Sometimes it will look like 123410015 - 123420009.
In this instance, the last digit is a check digit and should be removed before adding the sequential block. The probill generator will handle assigning the check digit once it is set up.
123410015 - 123420009 is a range of 9,994 - which is a large number and also not a round number, and is a clear indicator that it is incorrect.
If you try to generate more than 2000 ProBills at once, the database table can become corrupted and will require a Technical Support Ticket to get fixed by the Ops Team.

2. Verify the Carrier has a Probill Generator assigned to it (Technical Support Only)
Navigate to Admin>Location Setup>Carrier>Carrier
Click on the carrier for the ProBill block you want to add.
Click on the LTL PRO Tab.
-
Click in the LTL_PRO Stored Procedure field and select the corresponding ProBill generator for the carrier you are adding ProBills for.
ProBill blocks can be added for ANY carrier using the Irm_CarrierProBill_Generator_Default selection, although it will only allow sequential blocks and will not consider check digits.
