Enabling cost accounts in ShipAccel

Cost accounts allow you to assign shipping labels and postage refills to an account. This can help you track how you spend your postage funds.

Select Settings > Cost Accounts.
Select Settings.
Select Use Cost Accounting.
Under Manage Cost Accounts for Your Locations, if you want these settings to apply only to some locations, select the desired locations. If you want these settings to apply to the entire Enterprise, do not select any locations.
Choose the desired options:
- Require for all shipments
- Require for add ship request
- Require for adding postage
- Require Cost Accounts Budget Restriction: This prevents users from charging labels and stamps to a cost account in excess of its budget threshold.
Select Update.
