Connect to your shipping broker and manage Waybills in Dynamics 365 Business Central

Manage Shipping with Waybills in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

The Shipping Manager app not only enables you to create waybills and connect to your freight forwarders to arrange shipping and get the best price for each parcel. It also allows you to calculate weight, dimensions, size, and volume as well as tariffs.

Waybills on Sales Orders in Dynamics 365 Business Central

You create a waybill for each delivery address, and you may add multiple types of predefined packages (like boxes, pallets or containers) to the waybill.

Waybill status in Dynamics 365 Business Central

You then receive a label, you can print and put on the parcel, and the label of course depends on which freight forwarder you have selected in each case.

The label and the track & trace number is saved on the waybill in Business Central, from where you can also manage the status of the waybill, the shipping details etc.

You can assign a pickup-number to each waybill. This is information for the freight forwarder. It allows you to assign a waybill to a specific pickup, and then the freight forwarder knows exactly which parcels to pick up.

The Shipping Manager can also be configured to arrange shipping directly with your preferred freight forwarder – without using a shipping broker.

For more complex situations, you may embed waybills into other waybills. This allows you to pick items to a box, add multiple boxes to a pallet, add multiple pallets to a container, and finally ship the container.

Shipping Manager + specific Connectors for freight forwarders

The Shipping Manager app provides the waybill functionality – and a Connector allows you to connect with a specific freight forwarder.

All Connectors are configured inside your Business Central – and the data exchange is executed by Microsoft Power Automate.

Both the Connector-apps and the Shipping Manager app are available on Microsoft AppSource.

Overview of the Shipping Manager connectors
Webshipper Shipping Connector

This app is part of an extendable structure

Basically, Shipping Manager is the integration app you get, and the connector app adds the specific connection to the freight forwarder.

The Abakion Foundation Manager includes the common functionality for all the integration apps. This way you can use multiple integration apps without getting duplicate fields and functionality. And the Abakion App Manager is the core extension management and subscription management.

On top of these, you can add the Shipping Manager and 3PL Manager apps. These apps provide integration functionality and APIs. And if you combine these with a connector app, you are ready to go. It’s actually quite simple. If you select a Connector-app from AppSource, you automatically get the necessary fundamental apps. Our installer will handle it all for you.

But this structure also allows you (or your Business Central supplier) to build custom connectors to whichever freight forwarder or 3pl service. You can extend the solution with Power Automate in the Microsoft Power Platform.
