Setting up the required EPI records

in Manhattan's WMOS, you need to set up the following EPI records:

Carriers (to maintain equivalence with the carriers configure in Delivery Manager). You need to set up a carrier record for each Metapack Delivery Manager carrier for which labels are going to be printed.
Service Levels (to maintain equivalence with the carrier services configured in Delivery Manager). You need to set up a service level record for each Metapack Delivery Manager carrier service for which labels are going to be printed.
Ship Vias (used to bind each Carrier to a Service Level, and to maintain equivalence with the carrier 'service groups' configured in Delivery Manager). You need to create a Ship Via record for each combination of carrier and carrier service in Metapack Delivery Manager for which labels are going to be printed.
EPI Service Groups (i.e. Rate Shop Groups). These are only required if Rate Shopping is going to be used, in which case a record needs to be created for each Metapack Delivery Manager carrier 'service group' that you are going to use to return rate shop options.
