Transportation management > Setup > Carriers > Shipping carriers

The Shipping carriers form includes several options to set up services and rating profiles.

D365 F&SCM allows you to customize the names of your carriers and services. You must align your customized names with the carriers and services in Supply Chain Cloud.

To do this, you must first enable those services and carriers in Supply Chain Cloud.

Once enabled, those services and carriers automatically populate drop-down lists on the Shipping carriers form for you to select from.

Overview

FIELD	DESCRIPTION
Activate shipping carrier	Turn on this toggle to activate this shipping carrier.
Ship Carrier Code	After you turn on the Buy Enabled toggle (see below), you will designate the shipping carrier to use while processing the shipment. The shipping carrier name is defined by the user, so this field tells Supply Chain Cloud the actual carrier. The drop-down list is prepopulated with enabled carriers from Supply Chain Cloud. Note If no carriers are populating this list, make sure your API key is configured. See SCC Shipping Parameters for more information. If your desired carrier is not displaying in this list, refresh the page.
Activate carrier rating	Turn on this toggle to activate rating.

Use SCC Theoretical Containers	Turn on this toggle to suppress the Theoretical container set above and instead use the one defined in Supply Chain Cloud. Important You must have a rate shop container set up in Supply Chain Cloud to use this feature. See Container Types for more information.
