In this section you will learn where to find the correct identifiers for carriers, services, value-added services and info texts.
Carrier Identifiers: carrierIdentCode
"shipment": {
"...":"...",
"carrierIdentCode": "UPS",
}
<shipment>

Each carrier is assigned a unique code within Carrier Connect. You can find the carrierIdentCode in Carrier Connect under Master data > Carrier configurations in the column ID:

Service Identifiers: serviceCode
"shipment": {
"...":"...",
"serviceCode": "UPS_EXPR",
}
<shipment>
<...></...>
<serviceCode>UPS_EXPR</serviceCode>
</shipment>
Services offered by carriers, such as express delivery or standard shipping, have specific codes. In Carrier Connect go to Master data > Carrier configurations. Open the desired carrier and chose the tab Services. You can find the serviceCode in the column ID:

Value-Added Service Identifiers: valueAddedServices
"shipment": {
"...":"...",
"valueAddedServices": [
{
"identCode": "COD"
}
]
}
<shipment>
<...></...>
<valueAddedServices>
<identCode>COD</identCode>
</valueAddedServices>
</shipment>
Additional services, like saturday delivery or a return service, are also identified by unique codes. In Carrier Connect go to Master data > Carrier configurations. Open the relevant carrier and chose the tab Value-added services. You can find the right identCode in the column ID:
Info Text Identifiers: carrierInfoTexts
"shipment": {
"...":"...",
"carrierInfoTexts": [
{
"identCode": "00",
"parameter": "some info for the carrier" //only necessary if Additional info = Required.
}
]
}
<shipment>
<...></...>
<carrierInfoTexts>
<identCode>00</identCode>
<parameter>some info for the carrier</parameter> //only necessary if Additional info = Required.
</carrierInfoTexts>
</shipment>
The identCode for an info text specifies which predefined message will be sent to the carrier.
In Carrier Connect go to Master data > Carrier configurations. Open the relevant carrier and chose the tab Info texts. You can find the right identCode in the column Name:
