Create shipping assets

The shipping tools in WebSphere Commerce Accelerator allow you to create and edit certain shipping assets (for example shipping modes and jurisdictions), but not all shipping assets. The following list details the database tables that can be edited by the shipping tools:

• CALCODE

• CALCODEDSC

• CALRULE

• SHPJCRULE

• CRULESCALE

• CALSCALE

• CALSCALEDS

• CALRANGE

• CALRLOOKUP

• SHIPMODE

• SHPMODEDSC

• SHPARRANGE

• SHPARJURGP

• JURST

• JURSTGROUP

• JURSTGPREL

• CATENCALCD

• CATGPCALCD

You can also create the shipping assets in the format of XML files that can be loaded into the database using the loading utilities. As a result, you have the following two options for creating shipping assets:

• Create new or edit the existing shipping assets from one of the starter stores provided with WebSphere Commerce

• Create new shipping assets in the form of an XML file

• Create shipping assets using an XML file
  Create the shipping assets in the format of XML files that can be loaded into the database using the loading utilities. If you are creating a globalized store, you may want to create separate XML files for each locale the store supports. The locale-specific file should specify all description information, so it can be translated.

• Create shipping fulfillment assets
  In order for the shipping assets to work correctly in the store, associate the shipping jurisdiction groups to the calculation rules and the fulfillment centers to the shipping modes used in the store.
