The SMC³ Configuration page allows you to view and configure settings for SMC³.

Integration

Manage the mapping of Supply Chain Cloud data to your carrier data.

FIELD	DESCRIPTION
API Credentials	The selected value determines whether Rate, Shop, and Void requests are Test or Production. Important This should almost always be set to Test because this can be controlled by host system configurations. If the host system sends Production, the Test configuration is overruled.
Credential Set	Select the specific set of credentials you want to manage. There may be multiple sets of credentials if there are multiple business entities. Note Credential set identifiers are single values that are used in API requests to reference many values in SCC. For example: Warehouse1 uses the same LTL carriers as Warehouse2 but requires different credentials to ship on different accounts.
Enabled	Indicates whether the carrier is enabled and has saved credentials.
