FAQ:
- Why do I need to set up a Asendia Sort Facility Mapping?
- Asendia sort facility mappings allow ShipWise clients to send packages to different Asendia facilities based on the client's ship from warehouse. Secondarily, if a client has a sub account tied to one of their facilities this can be set up here and will be sent in the request to the Asendia A1 API.
