Prerequisites

Before adding a Client (Billing) Account, ensure that:

The Client Profile has been created. See: How to create a Client profile [Step-by-Step guide].
This setup uses a Baseline Account as the foundation. To create and configure one specific to this carrier, see:How to Add a TForce Freight Canada Baseline Account [Guide].
Follow the configuration steps as described in How to Add a Client (Billing) Account [Step-by-Step guide] using the values provided below.

Carrier-Specific Instructions

The Carrier tab contains the TForce Freight Canada-specific configuration used to define operational behavior for this Client (Billing) Account. Fields in this view are grouped visually to distinguish mandatory (red-highlighted items) and optional (blue-highlighted items) carrier-specific settings.

Service Code: Select the service behavior to use for processed orders. Use [Use Order] to preserve the service level received from the source order, or select a specific value when this Billing Account must control the service used.

Override WMS Service Code: Enable this option only when the Billing Account must replace the service code received from the WMS with the selected Service Code.

Default Package Description: Use this optional field to send a fallback package description when order-level package detail does not provide one.

Currency Code: Enter the currency code to be used by this Billing Account.

Client ID: Enter the client identifier provided by TForce Freight for the specific customer using this Billing Account.

Report IDs: Enter the Label ID, BOL ID, and Invoice ID provided by TForce Freight, separated with commas. These values are required for document generation and define the carrier outputs returned for the shipping label, BOL, and invoice.

Sender Name and Sender Company: Use these fields only when this Billing Account must declare sender identity values different from the Baseline configuration.

Override Sender Address: Enable this option only when this Billing Account must use sender address values different from the Baseline configuration.

WARNING: To enable carrier-specific settings —and before continuing—, press Save.

You can now use this account to ship through TForce Freight Canada.
