Fulfillment 4 weclapp

Shipping dangerous goods with weclapp

Mandatory information, points total and transport document directly from your weclapp item data, with the carriers that support it.

You maintain the UN number and a few fields on the item. The app recognizes dangerous goods packages on its own, passes the data to the carrier, calculates the ADR points total and creates the transport document. Classification and your responsibility as a consignor stay with you; the app takes care of the writing and calculation work.

What you maintain on the item

Dangerous goods start at the weclapp item. We create the fields with you during setup as additional fields. All fields in detail: Dangerous goods master data on the weclapp item.

Dangerous goods (yes/no)

Marks the item. The app automatically recognizes packages with such items as dangerous goods.

UN number

Mandatory. With it, the app fetches class, classification code, packing group, subsidiary hazard, tunnel code, points factor and designation from the DPD dangerous goods database.

Dangerous goods packaging

The packaging code. Mandatory for DPD, optional for Dachser.

N.O.S. designation, LQ marking, density factor

Optional, depending on the substance.

Net weight

The standard field in weclapp and the basis of all weight information.

Typical stumbling blocks

Net weight 0 or empty

The substance then counts as zero, so points and net quantity are wrong.

Unknown UN number

If the database does not know the number, the app does not book with DPD. Check for typos first.

LQ on only one item

If not all items with the same UN number carry the LQ marking, the group is handled as full dangerous goods.

What the app does with it

Detection at the package

If a package contains a dangerous goods item, it is automatically treated as a dangerous goods shipment. At the packing table it goes through the same scan workflow as all others.

Substance data from the database

The app matches the UN number against the DPD dangerous goods database, checks daily for new versions and keeps the data in the cache for at most seven days.

Weight per substance

Net weight of the item times quantity in the package. If the same item appears in several bill of materials line items, it counts only once.

Points total

The app calculates the points according to ADR 1.1.3.6 and notes the result in the transport document.

Limited Quantities

LQ check per UN number, with a density factor for liquids. This density factor on the item is only available in Fulfillment 4 weclapp.

Transport document

As a PDF from your item data, with emergency contact and points total. Print automation sends it to the right printer, and for exports the customs documents are added.

Icon: Road only

Road only

The app works according to ADR for road transport, not IATA or IMDG for air and sea freight.

Frequently asked questions

Can I ship dangerous goods with weclapp?

Yes, with Fulfillment 4 weclapp. With DPD, Gebrüder Weiss and Dachser with dangerous goods data, points total, transport document and LQ; with FedEx with dangerous goods data and emergency contact; with Kühne+Nagel with automatic dangerous goods detection; and with Austrian Post as Limited Quantities.

Does the app count gross or net?

Net. The app takes the net weight from the weclapp item times the quantity in the package, not the gross weight of the package. Details: Net weight and density factor.

Do I need a transport document for Limited Quantities?

For pure LQ shipments, the app does not create a transport document. You still have to inform the carrier about the LQ dangerous goods (ADR 3.4.12), and the packages need the LQ marking. Details: Limited Quantities (LQ) from weclapp.

Can I ship lithium batteries?

Yes. Lithium batteries are handled via their UN number like any other dangerous goods. The classification under the special provisions remains with you.

Who remains the consignor and is liable? Do I need training?

You remain the consignor, with all obligations under the ADR. The app checks mandatory information and calculates; it accepts no liability. Training your employees and whether you need a dangerous goods safety adviser is something you clarify with your dangerous goods specialist.

Do I need a dangerous goods authorization in my carrier contract?

Clarify beforehand with your carrier whether your contract covers dangerous goods. The app passes on the data; the agreement with the carrier is your responsibility. For Dachser, you additionally need your customer dangerous goods ID for LQ.
