How to add and set up a Dragonfly (Intelcom) Billing Account [Step-by-Step guide]

When setting Billing Accounts, you will be able to specify how it should work for that specific client, setting label references, packing slips usage, rate shopping, markups, WMS information updating and Carrier options such as the default service level, address validation, sender and return addresses, etc.
