Profiles and Carrier Account Filters

Using Carrier Account Filters on Profiles.

What are Carrier Account Filters?

Carrier Account Filters on the Profile allow you to limit the services enabled for that specific carrier account on that Profile.

Why are Carrier Account Filters Useful?

While the Filter tool is not required, it is useful for customers such as fulfillment centers who have business rules established for their clients that only allow use of certain carrier and certain carrier services when shipping their orders.

*For example, you can turn on a UPS account but limit it to only be functional for UPS Ground service.

Note: If you attempt to rate for another UPS service after this filter is applied, you will get an error until it's added to the Filter list.
