Parcel Refrigeration Type Codes can be used to automatically add refrigeration types to parcels and/or parcel item scans as well as warn drivers of temperature sensitive items when the refrigeration enforcement is set to required with a scan match. This is done by using a code in the parcel or parcel item barcode.

Requires the following permissions:

  • Parcel Items

    • Edit Parcel Items

Enable Available Parcel Items for Customers

For each customer you would like to use parcel refrigeration type codes, you must enable Available Parcel Items in the Parcel Types tab of their customer record in the Classic Operations App. See Customers - New/Edit Customer.

Configure Parcel Types

  1. In the Operations App, go to Maintenance > Parcel Types.

  2. Select the parcel type you would like to configure or create a new one. See Parcel Types.

  3. In the general tab, the following must be configured:

    • Mobile Display must be set to “Enabled” to be visible in the Driver App.

    • Parcel Refrigeration Type Enforcement select how you would like the refrigeration type enforced.

Scanning in the Driver App

When scanning in a parcel type configured with a parcel type refrigeration code, the related parcel item(s) will be displayed.

When the parcel item’s Parcel Refrigeration Type Enforcement is set to “Required with Parcel Match”, a pop up will be displayed if the refrigeration type does not match the parent parcel's refrigeration selection.
