Hidden Fields on Waybill Header and Waybill Lines

Hidden Fields on Waybill Header and Waybill Lines

The Waybill Header and Waybill Lines contain a number of additional fields that are hidden by default. These fields are not shown in the standard page layout but can be made visible using Business Central’s standard Personalise functionality. To show hidden fields, click the gear icon (⚙) in the top-right corner of the page and select Personalise, then use Show more fields on the relevant FastTab, or drag fields into view from the field list.

Waybill Header Hidden Fields

The following fields on the Waybill Header are hidden by default but may be relevant depending on your setup:

• Receiver Description — A free-text delivery instruction forwarded to the carrier. Note that this field is pending obsolescence; its functionality has been moved to the Ship-to Information group on the Waybill Header, and the corresponding field there should be used going forward.
• Carrier Code — The internal carrier code used for platform integration (e.g. Shipmondo). This is a technical integration field and is generally not required for day-to-day use.
• Ship-to Post Code — The postal code of the ship-to address. This field is used internally for pick-up point filtering and is populated automatically from the order.

Note

Several additional legacy fields may also appear when personalising the Waybill Header (such as Pick-up Instruction, Pick-up Date, Pick-up from Time, Pick-up to Time, DOT Type, and DOT Time). These fields have been superseded by the dedicated Pick-up Information and Ship-to Information groups on the Waybill Header and should not be used.

Waybill Lines Hidden Fields

The following fields on the Waybill Lines are hidden by default but may be useful depending on your shipping requirements:

• Return Quantity — The number of colli remaining to be returned. Relevant when pallet exchange is configured for the shipping service.
• Colli Quantity — The number of colli (packages) on the line. Useful for verifying the quantity per line when working with multi-colli shipments.
• Total Weight — The total weight of the line, calculated automatically as Colli Weight × Colli Quantity. Shown for reference; the value is maintained by the system.
• Package Description — A free-text description of the parcel contents (for example: Bike accessories). This description is forwarded to the carrier.
• Insurance Amount — The insurance value (in local currency) for the line. Only relevant when the selected shipping service requires insurance to be declared.
• Cash on Delivery Amount — The cash on delivery amount (in local currency) for the line. Only relevant when the selected shipping service supports cash on delivery.
• Loading Meter — The loading metre value for the line, calculated automatically from the package dimensions. Shown for reference.
• Package Tracking No. — The carrier’s package tracking number for the line. This field is populated automatically after the Waybill has been posted.
• External Reference — An external reference code copied from the Waybill Header. This field is read-only on the lines.

Note

Some additional internal or legacy fields may also appear when personalising the Waybill Lines (such as Line No., Weight, Shipping Agent Code, and Shipping Agent Service Code). These are either internal key fields or fields that have been superseded by other fields and are not intended for direct use.
