This section describes the steps and setup areas that must be established to support an integration between MoversSuite and the SIRVA STS system.
PREREQUISITES:
• In addition to this setup, configuration is also required in MoversConnect. Please contact EWS Group Professional Services for setup information related to MoversConnect.
STEPS:
Information on each step is provided within the Technical Setup Information table following this list.
1. Establish an XML Interface for “Sirva” through XML Interface Setup and define which branch and van lines are supported. See XML Interface Setup in the Technical Setup Information table below.
2. Create the necessary systems to support upload and download requests for the SIRVA interface within XML System Setup. See XML System Setup in the Technical Setup Information table below.
3. Define other values needed referencing the Technical Setup Information table below to support identifying data to exchange between the two systems, such as creating mappings for Commodity Types to External Codes supported on SIRVA.
4. Additional setup may be needed depending on whether you integrate with SIRVA QLAB and SIRVA QPD systems as well. Refer to the following for more information:

Customers defined in SIRVA are managed as National Accounts in MoversSuite. The customer information is assigned to National Accounts through the Account Setup. Assign the SIRVA customer number to the Account Number and assign the SIRVA customer billing location number to the Default Billing Location Number (up to 15 characters). These values are referenced within the National Account section on the Billing Information tab.
You can also attach an Order Memo to a customer referencing SIRVA Master Codes. Refer to the SIRVA Customer Order Memo topic for details. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Define service type records mapped to SIRVA Van Line Code values using this setup. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Create status records to document the progress of a shipment. The following External Codes must be defined for the SIRVA interface in order to exchange data between MoversSuite and the SIRVA STS.
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Link Shipment Type records to SIRVA by associating Van Line Code values to SIRVA supported codes. The following is a list of currently supported codes:
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Map an Email Type to SIRVA specifically for a Government Employee Email (“GEE”). Map the following External Code to the SIRVA interface within this setup.
This setting is referenced on SIRVA STS uploads and downloads. Refer to the SIRVA Registration Upload Content for usage.

Link Valuation records to SIRVA by associating External Code values to SIRVA supported codes (a.k.a. Valuation). The following is a list of supported code used by SIRVA:
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Use this setup to define an interface for SIRVA. The SIRVA interface is referenced by other XML setup areas. This setup also allows you to define which van lines are available to exchange data between SIRVA systems and MoversSuite.
Van Line Item Define one or more supported van line by adding Van Line Items referencing the following codes:
Branch Item In addition to mapping the van lines, you can also control which branches are available based on Authority Type. Orders must be associated to a branch defined within this list, otherwise they are unable to connect to SIRVA nor will SIRVA option be available through the Tools Menu. NOTE: The External Code is not referenced for SIRVA Integration.
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Utilize this setup to map SIRVA containers to MoversSuite containers. Refer to the XML Item Code Setup (SIRVA) topic for a complete list of support values. Create records for each supported container type setting the SIRVA support type within the XML Item Code field and link it to a MoversSuite defined code by setting the Material Type. The list of Material Type values is defined within Material Type Setup.
IMPORTANT: You can link multiple XML Item Code values to a single Material Type. However, we recommend mapping to a Material Type once to avoid creating multiple carton records for billing. Additionally, each XML Item Code value referenced through Guarantee Price Information is sent to SIRVA individually, therefore “Dish Pack” and “Glass Pack” are treated as two separate items even if they both point to the same Material Type.
IMPORTANT: Mappings are required for the Guarantee Price Information that are included when the Rate Plan links to an External Code of “GRR” in Rate Plan Setup.
NOTE: The Include imported items as Transportation revenue flag and Item Code setting are not reference for SIRVA Integration.
