These settings control overall operation of Supply Chain Cloud and should be addressed before continuing with any other configurations.
General Tab
Connection Section
| FIELD | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| API Key | The key to access a customer's tenant in Supply Chain Cloud. You can find this key on the Global Configurations page in Supply Chain Cloud. Note To check that your setup is correct, navigate to the Shipping Carriers form and look at the Ship Carrier Code field. There should be a prepopulated drop-down list of enabled carriers. |
| Use Production Credentials | Determines whether production carrier APIs or test APIs are used. |
| Override API Links | Determines whether alternative Supply Chain Cloud URLs are used. Important This is rare; only turn on this toggle if Accenture provides you with the required link(s). |
| SCC/LTL API/Security API Link | If the Override API Links toggle is turned on, an override URL is required (and is provided by Accenture). |
Ship Parameters Tab
Supply Chain Cloud Section
FIELD | DESCRIPTION |
Disable Pre-rating Calls | Determines whether accessorial assignment is called prior to rating. If disabled, only the base call happens after rating. Important Keep this toggle turned off when auto-assigning accessorials. |
Write Third Party XMLs | Determines whether third party XML transactions are created in addition to the base XMLs. This is useful for troubleshooting/testing. |
Default Physical Dimension Unit | The physical dimension unit used to rate transactions. |
Default Weight Unit | The weight unit used to rate transactions if not found on the container packing policy. |
Suppress Duplicate Shipment Labels | Important Do not turn on this toggle unless you are receiving duplicate labels. If you turn it on before Microsoft fixes your issue, no shipment-based labels will print. Turn on this toggle if you do not want to receive duplicate labels while manifesting by shipment. This is necessary due to an issue with the base shipment label processing that causes labels not to print when doing shipment-level manifesting. The Supply Chain Cloud worked around this, but when Microsoft changes the base code, duplicate labels print. This toggle turns off the Supply Chain Cloud workaround. |
| Store Documents on Shipment | Enable this flag to store incoming documents on the shipment. Leave this flag disabled to store incoming documents on the container. Note This feature is for container-level manifesting only. |
| Itemize Carrier Charges | Turn on this toggle to capture itemized charges from the carrier when they are available. You can then view the itemized charges on the Rate route details form.
|
| Broker Purpose | Select the purpose that designates this as a broker address, if applicable. If a shipment has this designation, the system sends the broker information in the API request. See FedEx International Broker Select® for more information on configuring a broker address. Select the Broker Declaration carrier accessorial to send the information to FedEx. |
