How to Require Parcel Types and/or Parcel Status Codes When an Overage is Scanned
- Michelle Cabaya (Unlicensed)
By default, when an overage is scanned it will auto-populate the parcel type, weight, length, width, and height set in the Operations App or in the Driver
app. This can be a problem if drivers are not making sure that the parcel type is correct. In addition to requiring drivers to enter a parcel type, you can also require drivers to enter a parcel status code.
