Remove date of shipping from Tracking Number field

Post by markusb68 »

For German Post the field should look like this in the moment:
UC059906418PH 14.01.2019

Some other Carriers (like Philippine Post) can handle this.
But others like YANWEN can't.

If you Track "UC059906418PH 14.01.2019" with Yanwen there are no results.
If you Track "UC059906418PH" with Yanwen there ARE results.

So you need two duplicate track when you want to check different carriers at the same time, one with the trackingnumber and the date in it and the other just with the tracking number in it.

Can you split the tracking number field into two fields, tracking number and date of issue field.
So you can send the date of issue only to the carriers who needs it (E.g. NL Post and German Post) ?

This would be also a nice work around.
