Part 2

Using References in a Shipment

5

Add References to a Shipment

On the Ship Page, go to Package Details and click the Add-On dropdown. Select Reference.

The reference field will populate with your custom presets as you type. You can enter a primary and secondary reference for each package group.

Use a One-Time Reference

If you need a reference for a single shipment only, simply type directly into the Reference field without selecting a preset. This creates a one-time reference that won't be saved to your presets.

Setting Default References

Configure Default References

Click your user icon and go to Settings. On the General Settings page, scroll to the Default Reference section.

Select your default primary and secondary references from the dropdown. These will automatically populate the reference fields when creating new shipments.
