Basic Enhancements

• Add a Margin on Rate and Markup on Rate amount to the shipping price
• Choose whether the description of the shipping method should show as “Free” on the sale order if shipping is free above a certain amount
• Configure a Fallback Weight to use for shipping estimates in case the product does not have a weight set

Access to EasyPost Event Handling Logs for troubleshooting

Each event log contains detailed information on the linked records and their models, as well as their corresponding request and response headers and bodies of text.

Advanced Rate Shopping and Smart Shipping Estimates

• Estimate products into packages based on the delivery method. Odoo automatically picks the lowest max weight package that fits the item and adds additional boxes if the items need more than one box by weight
• Estimate shipping prices by splitting a shipment into multiple boxes if needed
• Oversized items are shipped separately, and their product dimensions are used to select the optimal package size.
• Configure multiple carriers and service levels on a single shipping method to allow for rate shopping
• Choose a rate shopping method:
  • Use the cheapest method for each package
  • Use the same carrier for all packages in a delivery
  • Use the same delivery method for all packages in a delivery

Configure Shipping Methods for Website Orders

• Configure a single shipping method to shop between different available carriers and service levels, and set a Name and Description for the shipping method (Standard Shipping - 3-5 Business Days or Rush Delivery 1-2 Business Days)
• Set a description for the shipping method for website customers. This option is especially useful when configuring rate shopping between multiple carriers and service levels for online orders (Standard Shipping vs Rush Delivery)
• Determine how to display the delivery rate when it is free.
• Configure which websites can use the shipping method for online orders

Route Deliveries through Specific Operations based on the Delivery Method

• Automatically route a product through different operations in the warehouse based on the delivery method selected, without the sales user needing to manually assign a “route” on the sales order line per product.
• Configure a shipping method as a pickup for later (Will Call) or an immediate pickup (Showroom). Immediate pickup methods can be configured to auto-validate the delivery order once the sale order is confirmed (In-Person Counter Sale).

Shipping Method Availability Rules

• Set shipping method availability partner tags; this will only allow partners with a specific tag to utilize the shipping method
• Limit which countries, states, or zip codes are able to use the shipping method
• Shipping method availability can be based on the sale order amount or even by the net order’s weight

EasyPost Manifests for International Shipping

• Produce shipping manifests for carriers that want to confirm that the packages picked up correspond to the packages that should have been processed

Enhancements for the Shipping Team

Define box dimensions on the fly. Simply hit the tab button, then manually type in the box dimensions. If the dimensions entered do not match an existing package, Odoo will create a new package with those dimensions on the fly. Otherwise, Odoo will select an existing package with matching dimensions.

Once the transfer is validated, the package will contain a record of all its details along with additional functionality:

• View label cost and other additional details about the package
• View content (products) in each package, Odoo will show its Lot/Serial Number and quantity sent in the box
• View label and cancel if needed directly within Odoo
• Reprint or download label
