Summary: To send orders to a specific carrier account automatically without packers switching profiles, build a rule that matches the order's OMS ID and destination country and sets the carrier, service, account, and terms.

Before you start

Have ready the OMS ID you want to match, the destination country, and the carrier account details (carrier, service, account number, terms).

Steps

  1. On the shipping profile, create a business rule with criteria: OMS ID is your target value AND ship-to country is your target country (for example, country is GB).
  2. Set the rule actions: carrier, service, the prepaid or third-party account number, and terms.
  3. Keep packers on the one profile so no one has to switch profiles by hand.
  4. Remove or replace any older stop-gap rule that is no longer needed.
  5. Process a test order that matches the criteria and confirm the account and terms on the label.

What you should see

A matching order uses the right carrier account and terms with no manual profile change, and an order that does not match is not affected.
