General Rules and Settings
Shipping and Processing
Default Non-Stackable – The Non-Stackable checkbox will be automatically selected within shipment details.
Auto Assign PRO Numbers – When a non-parcel shipment is processed, a PRO/Tracking number will not be assigned, even if provided by the carrier or preloaded in the account.
Batch Ship – Enables the Batch Ship page, allowing high-volume shipments of identical products to be quickly uploaded or manually entered.
Fully supports parcel shipping.
LTL and FTL are limited to quoting only.
Rate on Background – If a shipment is processed without using rate shopping and instead direct-shipped with a selected carrier and service, FreightPOP will rate shop in the background and feed results into the Lowest Quote Shipping Compliance report.
Daily Consolidation Warning – When processing a shipment, the system will warn about possible consolidations if another shipment with the same date and shipping address exists. Users must manually cancel the original shipments and reprocess them as a consolidated shipment.
Edit BOL After Shipping – Allows modifications to shipment data on the BOL that may impact the rate provided by the carrier.
Address & Accessorials Management
Prompt to Auto Save Accessorials to Company ID – A message will appear asking whether selected accessorials should be saved to the Company ID for automatic selection on future shipments to that location.
Auto Save Address to Address Book Upon Shipping – When shipping to a new address via import or manual entry, a new entry will automatically be created in the Address Book. If an address changes slightly, it will be updated instead of duplicated.
Only Ship to Address Book Addresses – Requires shipments to originate from and be sent to addresses stored in the Address Book. Users can still quote non-saved addresses, but cannot process shipments to them.
Rate Display & Export Settings
Do Not Show Interline Rates – Prevents interline rates from being displayed.
Allow Data Export From Batches to Integrated System – Enables batch export of shipment data to an integrated system using Ref 3 as the transaction identifier. Customization is required for this function.
Fees & Charges
Activate Lumper and Other Charges at Customer Level – Allows Lumper Fees and other charges to be assigned to a Customer ID and included in quotes for non-parcel shipments. Requires additional configuration at the address level within the Address Book.
Duties, Taxes & Insurance
Estimate Duties and Taxes – Adds a button in the Quote/Ship screen to estimate duties and taxes based on product details.
Enable Manual Changes of Per Piece Insurance Amounts – Allows manual edits to the per-piece insurance amount when processing shipments. If disabled, FreightPOP will automatically calculate the per-piece insurance amount based on the total carrier insurance amount and send it to the carrier when applicable.
Shipment Documentation
Print Serial Numbers on BOL – Serial numbers stored in product details (imported via ERP integrations) will be displayed on the Packing Slip and BOL. If enabled but no serial numbers exist, the BOL will show product details without serial numbers.
Spot Quote Required Fields – To obtain a spot quote, the following shipment details must be provided:
Quantity
Dimensions
Weight
Commodity description
Scheduled open and close times for pickup and delivery
Consolidation & Order Adjustments
Enable Zone Skipping – Allows users to consolidate previously processed shipments into a new shipment. Once enabled, a Create Consolidation button appears on the Quote/Ship page.
Prompt for Multi-Stop Consolidation – When multiple orders are imported at once and have the same origin but different destinations (or vice versa), a prompt will appear asking if they should be consolidated into a multi-stop truckload.
Allow Order Adding/Removal When Consolidating – Enables adding or removing orders from a consolidated shipment after the initial orders have been imported.
Parcel & LTL/TL Shipping Options
Prompt for PRO Number When LTL/TL Carrier Does Not Provide – If the carrier does not supply PRO numbers via API or they are not preloaded, the system will prompt for manual entry.
Parcel Processing With No Dimensions – Allows parcel shipments to be processed even if no dimensions are entered in shipment details.
Allow Past Date for Shipments – Enables shipment date selection up to seven days in the past on the Quote/Ship screen.
Real-Time Order Processing
Turn On Real Time Order Import in New Order – Adds an Order Import bar to the New Order screen. Useful for live imports when orders are staged in Order Management before shipping.
Additional Settings
Show NMFC Field – Displays the NMFC field within shipment details in the Orders and Quote/Ship screen.
Ocean Tracking - Do Not Override Manual Date Updates – Ensures manual date updates for ocean tracking remain unchanged.
Auto Apply Residential Accesorials
When enabled, the system will automatically apply the residential accessorial to a shipment if address validation determines that the destination is a residential address.
If Enable Address Validation is turned on and Residential Check is enabled under the Address Validation Type card in Address Validation (Rules) V2, the system will automatically enable Auto Apply Residential Accessorials and activate Residential Delivery.
Auto Pack
Only one of the following three rules can be selected:
Use Volume Calculation for Auto Pack
When enabled, FreightPOP will estimate shipment details based on the product details of the order or shipment, using volume calculations to determine packaging.
Package Calculation
Allows users to define sets of product details so that when those products are shipped, the system can auto-calculate shipment details based on the predefined package configurations.
Calculation Type: Determines the level of granularity for matching items in the auto-pack process.
Use Rule In: Specifies which pages this rule will be applied to within the system.
If the Use This Address For Prepaid Billing On BOL checkbox is enabled, the address entered in this field will be displayed in the billing party section of the BOL for all prepaid shipments. This applies to both Third Party/Prepaid and Recipient/Prepaid (inbound) shipments.
Default Return Label
Allows users to set a default carrier and service for return labels when processing a shipment that requires a return label. This setting is typically used for parcel shipping.
Once enabled, the default carrier account and service can be selected.
For return labels to auto-print during shipment processing, the following checkboxes must be selected:
Include Parcel Return Label
Process Return With Default
These checkboxes can be selected manually unless a customization is in place to enable them automatically.
After the shipment is processed, both the regular shipping labels and the return labels will be generated using the default carrier and service.
Restrict Payee in Ship Window
By default, all freight payee options are activated in FreightPOP. This setting allows users to deactivate specific payee options if needed. For example, if third-party payee should not be used for shipments, it can be deactivated here to prevent users from selecting it during shipment processing.
Multi-Stop Truckload Shipping Configuration
FreightPOP allows users to ship truckload shipments with multiple stops directly from the Quote/Ship page. To configure this in Company Rules, the following settings are available:
Include Main Page Ship-To Address While Optimizing Stops – Ensures that the final stop in the multi-stop shipment is the designated Ship-To address entered on the main page.
TMS Optimized Stops – Automatically optimizes the drop-off order to minimize travel distance and improve route efficiency.
When this is enabled a new tab will show up.
When enabled, selected users will receive email notifications for shipping approvals, and a new tab will appear with options to add rules.
