Carton codes are defined as VL Item Codes associated to Item Codes and are needed when importing revenue for accessorials from UniGroup pricing (PRIC).   Errors will be received during the download if the code is not found within the VL Item Code setting.  Further, if it not accurately mapped  then incorrect distribution information will be reported.

 

The following process describes how an administrator can add or update the mapping of Item Codes to UniGroup PRIC carton codes.

 

     Verify that each Van Line Item Code is Defined in MoversSuite

1.   In Mover’s Suite Administration,

2.   Open AFS > Item Codes > Item Code setup,

Figure 2: Mover’s Suite Administration > AFS > Item Codes > Item Code setup

 

3.   Scroll through the Item Code records and compare Item Code values to VL Item Codes,

Tip: Use the column sorting feature (e.g. click on the Item Code header will evoke sorting) to help locate records.

4.   Verify that each VL Item Code is set up on the system by using the form below,

5.   Add Item Codes as needed.  Note: Use the Item Code Generation screen (Mover’s Suite Administration > Tools > Item Codes) to define general ledger accounts to newly defined Item Codes.

Example Item Code Settings
Item Code	21135
VL Item Code	35
Description	Grandfather Clock
RGPriKey	Packing
Invoice	Y
IGPriKey	Packing
Agent Percentage	95
Service Code Pri Key	Packing Commissi
GL Group	4

 

6.   Verify that the MoversSuite Administration - web > Accounting Setup > Materials records are accurate and up-to-date,

If new Item Code records are added, then the Container, Packing and Unpacking (CPU) information must be updated as well.  For each Item Code assignment to a Van Line Item Code, there must be a Container, Packing, and Unpacking definition created for it within the MoversSuite Administration - web > Accounting Setup > Materials setup.   Reference the Defining Materials (CPU) Types topic within the online help utility for more information.

The Materials mappings allows for a described material to be associated to an Item Code which in turn is linked to a Van Line Item Code  that is referenced by upload and download processes.
