Parcel refrigeration types can be used when drivers need to indicate the temperature requirement for specific parcel types.

Instructions

Set up the parcel refrigeration type in X Dispatch.

  1. Check Enable Parcel Refrigeration Types in the Misc tab of Global Options. See Global Options.

  2. Go to Maintenance → Parcel Types. Create a new parcel type, or edit an existing one, and select the Parcel Refrigeration Type Enforcement. See Parcel Types (Classic Operations App).

    • Disabled - Parcel refrigeration will not display in Nextstop.

    • Optional - Drivers will have the option to enter a Parcel Refrigeration Type.

    • Required - Drivers will not be able to Complete a stop until a Parcel Refrigeration Type is entered,

Example

I have a route stop that has a parcel with the parcel type “Specimen” that has the Parcel Refrigeration Type Enforcement set to “Required”.

In Nextstop

When the driver scans the parcel, the driver must select the Parcel Refrigeration Type.

In X Dispatch

The parcel refrigeration type will display in the Parcels tab of the route stop form (or orders form).

In Rapidship

The parcel refrigeration type will display in Track Order and Route Tracking.
