As part of the TMS implementation, you configure shipper carrier accounts for each business unit or site that does the shipping. A shipper carrier account is an account that the shipper holds with the carrier for billing and shipping purposes. Each carrier account is associated with an Internal ID, and each Internal ID is associated with one or more Packing Locations. This master data setup is generally done by Precision.
