PRO Number Consolidations
If the shipper uses the same PRO number for multiple PRECISION shipments going to the same destination on the same day, configure a system value to allow it.

Carrier-level Consolidation
 
Category
Key
Value
SPS
[Global Carrier Code]: CONSOLIDATION IN USE
YES or NO.
If the system value does not exist, it defaults to NO.
When set to YES, a note is kept in the database each time a shipment is processed for this carrier. The note indicates that any further shipment to this destination using the same carrier, service type, and Packing Location can use the same PRO number. The note applies until the EOD is run for this carrier and Packing Location.

Generic Consolidation

SPS
LTL: CONSOLIDATION IN USE
YES or NO.
If the system value does not exist, it defaults to NO.
When set to YES, this system value applies to all TL/LTL carriers in the system. If you use this consolidation option, run the EOD to clear out the notes of existing consolidations for a shipping day.
Additional PRO Number Consolidation Criteria
To reuse PRO numbers across shipments, the shipments must share the same:
• Carrier
• Service
• Packing Location
• Destination address
Use a system value to configure additional criteria that must be shared. Additional criteria also determine the uniqueness of the consolidation, because the PRO number is only reused across shipments when they all share the same criteria values.
In Consolidation Criteria, a consolidated PRO number is shared across shipments when the default criteria and the values in fields XMSHDR0.SHPSL01 and XMSHDR0.SHPSL02 match. If the default criteria match but the additional consolidation criteria do not, the same PRO number is not used.

Consolidations of PRO Over Multiple Dates
By default, a new PRO number is generated for each new ship date. However, you can configure the same PRO number to span multiple days when the shipment pickup does not take place until later in the week. For example, shipments are processed on Monday and no EOD is run. If this system value is set to NO, the same PRO number can be reused on subsequent days for all shipments to the same destination until the next EOD is run.

PRO Number Generation With Failed Charge Determination
If you are shipping COLLECT or THIRD PARTY to a destination, some carriers allow you to generate a tracking number but not successfully rate the shipment for its destination. You can allow for this scenario at carrier level by configuring the system value in Failed Charge Determination.
