Default Shipping Info Setting

Purpose

This article explains how Admins configure Default Shipping Information in the Thulo Logistics Module.

Default Shipping Info is used to pre-fill shipping details during logistics operations, helping staff work faster and ensuring consistency across packages, shipments, pickups, and consolidations.

Who This Is For

  • Admins

  • Operations Managers

Required Permissions

  • Logistics → Settings → Edit

  • User Management → Admin access

What Default Shipping Info Is Used For

Default Shipping Info is used to:

  • Automatically populate shipping fields during:

    • Locker Package creation

    • Shipment creation

    • Pickup creation

    • Consolidation creation

  • Reduce repetitive data entry

  • Enforce standardized shipping behavior

Defaults act as starting values, not fixed rules.

Where Default Shipping Info Appears

Once configured, Default Shipping Info is applied to:

  • Shipping Information sections in creation forms

  • Invoice and tracking context (indirectly)

Staff can usually override defaults during creation if permissions allow.

Step-by-Step: Configure Default Shipping Info

How Default Shipping Info Affects Operations

  • Speeds up data entry for staff

Important Rules to Know

  • Does not calculate pricing by itself

Best Practices

  • Review defaults periodically as operations evolve

  • Keep defaults aligned with company policy

  • Avoid frequent changes during active operations

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Assuming defaults cannot be changed during creation

  • Using defaults to control pricing
