Single Parcel Identification (SPI)            & Connote Numbering

Series numbering is originally set up in the Mail Management System (Comet or Whirlpool) configuration area. The creation of the numbers is done through drivers or interpreters. It provides Single Parcel Identifiers (SPI) and connote numbering based on whatever formula is required.

A particular series numbering may have multiple number blocks allocated to it. Two divisions may use the same series numbering while offering different services, zones and rates. Also different services within the one freight carrier may have different series numbering.

SPI and consignment note numbering are automatically applied when they are found to be attached to the current freight service or the carrier. By attaching the numbering to the carrier it becomes the default numbering for all it’s services, unless overridden by a particular service.
