Guidelines for
implementation of BNPL Parcel Software at exclusive Parcel Booking Centres
(other than post offices)
The following is the procedure for complete
implementation of BNPL Parcel software in the new Parcel Booking Centres. The procedure for implementation of BNPL
Software in Post Offices (which are authorised to book Bulk Parcels) is given
separately in Page-3 of this document.
a) Bulk booking of Parcels (Bulk Express Parcels
and Business Parcels) can only be done by Post offices/newly opened Parcel
Booking Centres. Bulk parcel booking cannot be done by other kinds of
offices.
b) If an administrative decision is taken to
book parcels in the premises of an existing RMS Offices/BPCs/MBCs etc., a
new office has to be created by CEPT with office type as PBC (Parcel Booking
Centre). Even though the PBC functions
in the same premises, it is treated as a separate office as far as software is
concerned. For adding the new PBC Office
by CEPT, the following information is to
be sent by the Divisional Head concerned by email:
i) Name of
the Office:
iii) Division under
which the PBC functions
c) Based on the above information, a new
office with office type as PBC will be created by CEPT and informed back to the
Divisional Head concerned. An unique Office Code will be allotted by the Server
for each such office added. The Office code for all PBCs start with letter “B”.
d) Once the office is added by CEPT, the new
office is available as a Booking Office for Customer Registration. While registering the customer in ParcelNet
website, the Divisional Administrator has to select the correct booking office i.e.,
the newly added PBC. If any customer
registration has already been done by selecting the wrong booking Office,
please register the customer again with correct office of booking (after
addition of the office by CEPT) and use the new
Customer ID generated by the Server for booking.
e) The new PBC is a separate office/entity as
far as the software is concerned and the following software have to be
installed in the new PBC and upgraded to Update-9 to Meghdoot 7.0 (i.e.,
ParcelNetUpdate dated 29.11.2013)
i) Point of Sale (for use of Despatch)
ii) RNet Communication
iii) BNPL
Parcel
f) While configuring the Office Type in Point
of Sale, the Office type should be selected as “PBC”. Please ensure that the office type is
selected as “PBC” in Point of Sale, as the RNet Communication software
communicates with the Server based on the Office Type selected in Point of
Sale.
g) After configuring the Office Type as PBC in
Point of Sale, latest office master data has to be requested through RNet
Communication and updated. Along with
office master data, data pertaining to the customers authorized to book parcels
from that PBC also gets updated.
h) While doing office configuration in BNPL Parcel
application, please select the booking office correctly (as received from
Server). If a wrong office name is selected before creation of the office in
Central Server, please use the Modify Office option in BNPL Parcel and select
the correct one after requesting the latest office master data.
Therefore, broadly the following are the sequential
steps to be followed before starting the operations in Parcel Booking Centres:
Guidelines for implementation of BNPL Software in existing Post
Offices
The Post Offices which are authorised to book Bulk
Parcels need to follow the below procedure for implementing BNPL Parcel

needs no change. It remains as Post

office master data, data pertaining to the customers authorized to book parcels
from that Post office also gets updated.
h) Selecting

be followed before starting the operations in Post Offices:
