Carrier country service mapping

While Carrier companies such as DHL or FedEx serve the same business (in a nutshell: transporting goods from A to B) their APIs and Interfaces look and behave differently.

In fulfillmenttools, Carrier Country Service Mappings (CCSMs) are used to simplify the implementation of clients that gather all the information needed before even requesting a parcel label. In a way they serve as a template for successful label requests of arbitrary order contents.

Please visit Developer Docs for more information on how to add a Carrier Country Service Mapping via API.

A Carrier Country Service Mapping (CCSM) can be defined per carrier.

• For carriers operated by fulfillmenttools it is not necessary to set any CCSM as it is already provided by fulfillmenttools.

• A carrier can have one, multiple or none Carrier Country Service Mappings. When there is no configuration for a needed source/destination combination the possibility of issues during runtime increases due to clients not knowing which data needs to be present.

• A CCSM can have one source but multiple destinations to allow for configurations like "For every parcel with carrier X from Germany to France, the US, Canada or Sweden the following configuration is valid". This eases the configuration of new carriers as they often need to be configured similarly.
