You can select multiple carrier services from the Enable column.
You can also select PDF or PDF (Zebra) for the shipping label format for that carrier.
Manage Pro Number
Click this button to create a PRO number sequence for Old Dominion.
A PRO number is used to track LTL shipment progress. Supply Chain Cloud assigns a number from the number range allocated by the carrier.
Note
If a shipment has multiple pallets, there may be multiple PRO numbers to generate.
Important
Most carriers have a range of PRO numbers assigned to their account. Contact your carrier for this numbered range.
FIELD | DESCRIPTION |
| Check Digit | Select the check digit that matches the carrier requirements:
|
| Prefix | Enter a prefix if required by the carrier. |
| Start Sequence | Select the first assigned number of the sequence. |
| End Sequence | Select the last assigned number of the sequence. |
| Threshold Sequence | Select a threshold for the sequence. This number drives alert logic for when you need to contact the carrier to assign another PRO number range to your account. Example If the sequence is 1000-9999 and you want to know 100 shipments before you hit your limit, the threshold sequence is 9899. |
| Length | Select the length of the sequence according to carrier specifications. Default is 8. Important This length does include the prefix or the check digit at the end of the PRO number. |
