Good evening. I was wondering if anyone has experience with DPD labels for ftid. Wondering which parts should be changed. Thanks!!

Look at the dpd label specifications you can get them online it will tell you every part of the label and what code it is

DPD are the bane of us SE'ers existence, We must come up with a method against them

Can't help you with the FTID, as I don't know what to change as I never did them. I will say that there is a 70% chance your label gets relabelled as when the DPD person scans the package, they can see the real destination address; so if they see the descrepancies, they'll relabel. RM, EVRI and Collect+ do not relabel, DHL/DPD do.

Give me a week I may have a way to help with DPD I just need to research about the system they use

Have a read at this it goes into great detail of the label and each barcode and how it's formatted how it's used and what is recorded I'm not saying it will solve it but if the data is sent over from the barcode to the system rather then from the data being sent to DPD then that means they record the address and other bits by scanning the barcode

If a different barcode can be generated with a different address (if it is recorded from scan) then it would solve that. However I don't know if when you track on DPD it shows the address its going to

Does anyone know?

^ Exactly as written.

This Is one of countless reasons why the so-called FTID fails.

I agree FTID isn't as great as what people think it is and @mothered is right is has flaws but how it peoples address recorded onto the system is the barcode there to match the data or to record the data?
I was reading up on DPD and found something

Label specs

This PDF goes into great detail of the label DPD uses and mentions the data type and encoding of the 1D and 2D barcodes

I'm just not sure how this data is recorded to the DPD system as it mentions things like Rstreet, Rcountry maybe R being record but then mentions mpsexpdata which I don't fully understand what that is

It also mentions that DPD return labels need to have RELABEL in the routing box

More info on the relabel section mentions

"If the customer has not imported a current routing database for the new tertial but nevertheless would like to ship parcels, then a so-called Relabel-parcel label must be generated. This Relabel-parcel label does not contain an identification tag in the barcode, thus only 27 digits. This is the trigger for our Scansoftware to produce a new routing label with correct routing information. On the Relabel-parcel label no routing information may be printed. Instead the lettering "! RELABEL !" should appear. In addition the barcode should only be half as high as a normal barcode."
