Enterprise Shipper^®(ES) - Setup Guide

Purpose

The purpose of this Guide is to provide setup instructions for ES. See Enterprise Shipper®(ES) - Installation Guide for installation instructions. Use instructions are in the Enterprise Shipper®(ES)- User Guide.

Getting Started

At this point, ES has been installed and registered. Before using ES, some software setup is also required.

In ES, the Required Settings and Optional Settings are considered "global" settings. The completion of this setup in one application installation applies to all computers with ES installed using the same data source/SQL instance. In addition, there are required settings that are necessary for using the software.

Also, the application has Workstation Settings specific to an individual installation of the application and will not carry over to other computers using the same data source.

The following areas are part of the initial setup of the software Required Settings (General, Provider Accounts, and PostalWeb Tracking & Notification) and Addresses. When ES opens the Settings screen, it defaults to Required Settings > Provider Accounts until you add at least one provider.

We highly recommend registering and adding the PROD Provider Accounts as soon as possible, so funds will be available when you go live. It can take up to 4 days for providers to perform their setup. Test accounts are available immediately. To use both the TEST and PROD modes, at least one Provider Account needs set up.
