Creating Packages

In this setup, you define the packaging types available for shipment. You specify their dimensions and assign the corresponding DPD parcel or package type.

Only the packaging options defined here will be available when creating a shipping label. But the exact dimensions of the package can be adjusted directly in a sales order when creating a shipping label.

To access the Basic Settings, proceed as follows:

Getting Started

When you start the guided setup, a pop-up window will open. Click “Next” to begin the configuration.

Creating a Package

Hovering over each field name will display additional information.

Internal Package Code

Define this code for internal identification of your packages.

Package Name from DPD

In the drop-down list, you’ll find all parcel and packet types offered by DPD that are supported by the Connector. Depending on your DPD contract, not all of these or more options may be available to you.

Choose between cm and mm as the unit for the dimensions defined below.

Height

The height of the package in the selected unit.

Width

The width of the package in the selected unit.

Length

After entering all the required information, click “Next” and then “Finish” to create the package and complete the setup.

Overview of All Packages

You can view all created packages via the Business Central Search by searching for “DPD Boxes.”
