If PORTALSHIPPINGVALIDATION is present in the Shipping Options field in the AtomicSeller settings, each handling unit must be validated in MyDSV at loading time.

If PORTALSHIPPINGVALIDATION is not present in the Shipping Options field in the AtomicSeller settings, shipments are considered shipped on the same day in the DSV system. Validation in MyDSV is not required.

The MyDSV portal also allows you to:

  • Select the loaded handling units and generate a freight list that can be printed and signed by the driver at collection.
  • Reprint labels in different formats.
