To Set Up Integration with ShipEngine

Before you configure integration with ShipEngine, your organization should have an account with the carrier and a signed service agreement. The settings for the plug-in are specified in accordance with the information available in this agreement.

To configure integration between MYOB Acumatica and the ShipEngine service, which provides integration with multiple carriers, you use the Carriers (CS207700) form. On this form, you specify a name to be used for this carrier in your system, select the plug-in, and specify one of the carriers connected to your ShipEngine account. Also, you can specify shipping and delivery settings.

Attention: This topic walks you through the configuration of third-party software. Please note the following:
  • The procedure below is designed for the most common usage scenarios. If you are implementing a more complicated scenario and you encounter difficulties, contact MYOB Acumatica technical support.
  • The vendor of the third-party software may change the user interface and settings. Therefore, the screen elements and setting names that you see may differ from the ones described in the procedure.
  • The procedure will be updated to describe new common scenarios and changes in the user interface and settings.

To Configure a ShipEngine Account

  1. Open the https://app.shipengine.com/#/public/createaccount/?ref=acumatica link, and create a ShipEngine account.
  2. Sign in to the created ShipEngine account.
  3. On the Connections page, click Add a Carrier to connect a carrier to the ShipEngine account. (The list of available carriers depends on the shipping origin country that you have specified when you created a ShipEngine account.)
  4. On the Partners tab of the Account Settings page, click Add a Partner, and in the Connect a Partner dialog box, which opens, select MYOB. The system displays the connection parameters that you will use for configuring the ShipEngine carrier in MYOB Acumatica.

To Set Up Integration with ShipEngine

  1. Open the Carriers (CS207700) form.

  6. In the Kilogram and Centimeter boxes (or in the Pound and Inch boxes, depending on the measuring system selected for the carrier), select the units of measure defined in the system that correspond to the weight and linear units of measure used by the carrier.
    Note: If you select a UOM other than the default weight or linear UOM, which is specified in the Weight UOM box or Linear UOM box on the Companies (CS101500) form, use the Units of Measure (CS203100) form to specify the conversion from the default weight or linear UOM of the company to the unit you have selected as the equivalent to the UOM used by the carrier.
