Carrier groups

A carrier group is a collection of shipping carriers and carrier services. Each carrier group specifies the preferred sequence for the shipping carriers and carrier services that belong to it.

When multiple shipping carriers and carrier services exist for the same route segment, you can specify a carrier group instead of a specific shipping carrier and carrier service in the route plan or route guide.

Create a carrier group

1. Go to Transportation management > Setup > Carriers > Carrier group.
2. Select New.
3. In the Carrier group field, enter a unique identifier (ID) for the group.
4. In the Name field, enter a descriptive name for the group.
5. On the Details FastTab, add a row, and select a shipping carrier and a carrier service for it. Repeat this step until you've added as many carriers as you require for the group.
6. Close the page.
