When shipping orders with Dangerous Goods you will need to specify so and under which regulation. TechShip allows such action for the carriers that support it.
There are two places in the platform where this is done:
- On the Order Level, specifying if the order ships dangerous goods or not
- On the Client and Billing Account level, where you can define which regulation applies to the case
WARNING: UPS might not return all the necessary labels that might be required to ship dangerous goods. You might need to print additional labeling according to the case separately from the labels returned by the carrier, or contact Techdinamics staff to request custom generation of additional labels that cover these needs.
With that base setup, techSHIP will compare the SKU information in your order with the one detailed in the setup, and make sure the quantities are properly reported.
This will be detailed at the end of the article.
Feel free to follow the step-by-step guide written below or the video guide, as you prefer:
ORDER LEVEL
Make sure you are passing the Dangerous Goods flag is being either:
- Passed from the WMS as part of the order
- Passed from an API call as part of the order (API Documentation - CreateShipment Method, DangerousGoods atribute)
- Has been manually set for the order on techShip's end
- OMR rules have been set up to apply the flag
To verify so:
1. Find the order through any of the possible ways (after Import Orders, Batches, Order History, etc) as it applies to the case
2. Click the edit button of the order you wish to change
3. Verify if the Dangerous Goods box in the Carrier Options Tab is checked

RESULT - HOW THE CONTENTS ARE REPORTED
Once that:

- The Client Setup specifies the Hazmat SKU information (code, quantity and UOM)
- The SKUs are included in the order

If the SKU Code you have provided matches the one in the setup, techSHIP will multiply it by the declared quantity, and report as needed.
