Set Up Default Group Code

You can optionally set up a default Group Code, such as what you might use for cost-center tracking, department codes, or linking shipments to a specific project or shipping location.

The Group Code:

Is an alphanumeric value—up to 25 characters.
Is recorded with the transaction.
Appears in your online reports for all shipments.

Use the Group Code only if you want to include this value for all shipments generated with the current profile.

Your default Group Code appears when you retrieve an order on the Order Lookup tab. You can optionally override the default Group Code by entering a new value in the Additional Reference Fields area of the Order Lookup tab.

Important! Any value that is mapped to a Group Code from a data file overrides the default Group Code that you have specified in the following Steps.

Note: The setup or changes that you make in the following Steps apply only to the current profile.

Steps

If you are using profiles, verify that you have selected the correct profile: On the Order Lookup tab or the Batch Print tab, in the Active Profile field, view or select the desired profile.
Select Edit > Account Setup.
In the Group Code field, enter the Reference ID or Group Code.
Click OK.
