Carrier Component

To configure system values for the carrier used for a service or services, the carrier must have a Global Carrier Code that links the related system values. The Global Carrier Code uniquely identifies the carrier within PRECISION for the purposes of EOD processing, label processing, and tracking number generation. Typically, the Global Carrier Code is a prefix for all system values that apply to that carrier. For example, in Global Carrier Code, the Carrier Partner code 38932211 translates to a Global Carrier Code of RDWY.


Category	Key	Value
SPS	GLOBAL CARRIER FOR xxxxxxxx For example: GLOBAL CARRIER FOR 38932211	Global Carrier Code, preferably limited to 4 characters. For example: RDWY

Note: It is recommended that you use the Standard Carrier Alpha Code (SCAC) as the naming convention for the Global Carrier Code for a carrier. This way, naming conventions are consistent and maintenance is easier.

To ensure that Global Carrier Code is compliant with the rating, labeling, and EOD engines within PRECISION, configure the system value in Carrier Contact Type.
