Add Shipping Accessories When Creating an Order

Start on the Order table and select Create New in the top right.
Fill out all of the information for your Order. (Click here for information on how to create an Order).
After you have your Order information filled out, go to the Requested Accessories tab at towards the bottom of the page:

From there you will click the Add button right next to the tab title Requested Parcel Accessories (shown in the screenshot above).
Another window appears where you will add the Accessories. Start on the Accessory field, click the dropdown box, and select the Accessory you are wanting to add.
- Note: If you select Insurance or COD Standard, you will have to specify the dollar amount of the Insurance or COD in the Amount field. If you do not select either Insurance or COD, then the Amount field will "grey out" and not allow you to enter a value.

If you have another Accessory to add to the Order, you can check the Add Another box and click OK and the screen refreshes and lets you add another Accessory.
