Carton Codes

Carton codes will be referenced as part of a Rating download from UniGroup.  These codes will need to be established and correctly linked to the Item Codes table.

This setup involves updating the VL Item Codes for each Item Code and may involve updating the Materials table.

Refer to the UniGroup Van Line Carton Codes supported by PRIC for setup details.

Commodity Code

Set up within the Mover’s Suite Administration > MMS > General > CommType, is required by the Registration download and is used to provide a more descriptive Move Information > Commodity and used by uploads to define the type of move.

A commodity is required for Special Services uploads and the Commodity Code must be set to either SCOM, DISP, or ELEC.

Note Type

Set up Mover’s Suite Administration > MMS > General > NoteType, in order for  a note to be received as a UniGroup Memo Pad it must created with a supported code.  See Note Types Setup for Memo Pad Uploads.

For downloaded Memo Pad records, this field will be used to pull the description defined within MoversSuite.  If there is no matching Van Line Code for the Note Type, then one will be created.
