Pitney gang sort

The Pitney Gang Sort function retrieves a gang number from a web service.

The web service is implemented/operated by Pitney-Bowes and is only available from certain service providers.

The sequence number is requested by the modules MS- and OS-AZD before saving a transmission. If a sequence number is available, it will be appended to the SortInfo SIX with a "-" (minus sign) as separator. This SIX is stored to the consignment and printed on the consignment label (if the consignment label is configured accordingly).

Requirements

• The counting license "LIC_C_SQ_PB" must be available.

• Because the sequence number is appended to SIX, the consignment label must be configured accordingly (SIX on label available).

• Make sure there is enough space on the shipment label to print the entire SIX (SIX will be approximately four characters longer)
