OK, I guess it is time for "plan D". I've got a custom text field with the ID of {custbodyshipcarrier_cstm} The field applies to the fulfillment record. I need a formula so that {custbodyshipcarrier_cstm} will hold the shipping carrier NAME based on the tracking number. The first three letters of the tracking number can be…

OK, using the following formula (in a custom transaction body field) works... CASE WHEN {trackingnumbers} like '1ZY%' THEN 'UPS' WHEN {trackingnumbers} like 'YRC%' THEN 'Yellow Freight' END What is odd to me is that the field shows "ERROR: Field Not Found" when viewed in the item fulfillment record. The very same filed…

I tried using a custom non-stored text field with a formula value of {shipcarrier} and using the custom field in our email template still doesn't work. T

Yea, we got the "shipping method indicator" working in our account using a custom formula. The only real problem with our tracking number notification setup is that there is a separate email generated for each tracking number. So, an order with 10 packages ...the customer gets 10 emails.…

Is anyone else using fulfillment email templates with {shipMethod} or {fulfillingtransaction.shipmethod} with any success? Is there a different field that should be referenced? Thanks, Tom

I was wrong. They all say "Items that you've ordered have shipped via .". Yes, we do have a name/description for each shipping method. Thanks for the help. Any more ideas would be appreciated very much. -Tom

Thanks Matt! It is an "item fulfillment record" search. So, the filters are like this...

{fulfillingtransaction.shipmethod} almost works. Now for "regular" shipments, I get... Items that you've ordered have shipped via UPS ground. The only problem is that our "integraded" UPS shipping method returns: Items that you've ordered have shipped via . So, we ship 50% integrated and 50% regular. So, half of our…

We are looking to be within a -10% to +10% margin for small package, +0% to +50% for truck and express shipments, on the average. The higher margins on truck and express reflects the higher costs associated with re-shipments (customer service buffer). That is the type of information I was looking for. We're trying to…

in when do you give shipping difference back to customer ..or do you? Comment by Tom Dalton Sep 14, 2011 11:14AM

So, {shipcarrier}, {shipMethod} and {fulfillingtransaction.shipmethod} don't work. Is there any other fields that I can try? Should I create a custom field that sources its value from {shipcarrier} and then try using the custom field in the template? T

We buy the same inventory item from different manufacturers located in 7 states. Yea, it won't pick the closest location or anything like that. We would love to have NetSuite calculate the UPS shipping charges from the vendor's Zip code instead of the Home Zip Code. That can be done if you use the multi-location feature…

in calculating shipping cost for drop shipped items Comment by Tom Dalton Nov 16, 2011 1:41PM

We got an order yesterday with $0 shipping (UPS ground). There was also a day with broken UPS/NS connection about 4 weeks back. I don't recall ever seeing such problems reported in this UG with FedEx. They've also been courting us lately and we're considering a switch. So, is the problem here with UPS or NS? If the problem…

I feel your pain. We lost thousands of dollars today due to the shipping issue breaking our web store check-out. But, according to NS statistics ...this is "up time". T

in Invalid Access License Number?? Comment by Tom Dalton Jul 22, 2011 12:19AM

I don't think the "drop ship item" setting matters. Either way it should use the specified preferred location for that item. You're basically setting it so NetSuite thinks that the drop-ship company's address happens to ALSO be one of your company's physical locations. T

in calculating shipping cost for drop shipped items Comment by Tom Dalton Nov 17, 2011 11:52PM

Same here. We are a mail-order company. So, no front or back office UPS functionality will shut us down. So, is this considered "down time" in the NetSuite downtime statistics? T

in Invalid Access License Number?? Comment by Tom Dalton Jul 21, 2011 4:42PM

The bulk of our time shipping now is spent packaging vs. actually processing the shipment at the terminal. We might be talking about two different processes to begin with. We currently use the standard NS/UPS integration. We never have use world-ship for any part of our shipping process. The person that processes the order…

in UPS WorldShip -vs- standard NS/UPS integration Comment by Tom Dalton Jul 14, 2011 5:20PM

We have fairly accurate shipping calculations for our drop shipped items. We converted all non-inventory items that we sell to inventory items. It easy to do with the "convert to inventory item" button that was provided. I honestly don't know why we would want to use any non-inventory items for any items that we sell…

Dave, here is how you display the "fulfillment form" choices in the fulfillment record. Just edit a fulfillment, then click the "customize" button along the top edge of the fulfillment screen. Then make sure "custom form" is checked as a field that should be displayed. It is in the "main" tab under the "screen fields" tab.…

OK, I botched the description of the problem. We can already expose the form choices in the item fulfillment. The forms however don't specify the PDF design to be used for printing packing slips from that particular form. The "preferred transaction form PDF layout" is a global default. The PDF packing slips always use our…

Kreg, Do you offer both "regular" and "blind shipping" for your customers? If so, then how do you print a generic packing slip for the "blind ship" orders while maintaining a bulk-print workflow? -Tom

in Fulfillment 100-200+ orders a day Comment by Tom Dalton May 12, 2011 1:04AM

I'm filtering item fulfillments. The "actual ship/receipt date" field doesn't seem to work when filtering fulfillments. I set it to filter to "= today" and it has zero results when I know we've got a bunch of fulfillments that were already marked "shipped" earlier today. The same is true for the "Ship Date" field. -Tom

in "Date marked Shipped" field needed in item fulfillment Comment by Tom Dalton Apr 19, 2011 12:07PM

Even if I could use the "Ship Date and Actual ship.." when filtering item fulfillments, it wouldn't help unless those fields were part of the fulfillment record. The reason is that IF they are part of the SO and the SO has multiple fulfillments, then the "Ship Date and Actual ship.." fields will relate to when the SO was…
