- Please do not enter a unique value for your reference fields because DHL eCommerce uses the reference numbers to group(consolidate) your orders such as a Cost Center. When the reference fields are unique per shipment, it adds a lot of unnecessary “size” to the invoice and time to process.

-
You cannot enter the "Reference 2" field without entering the "Reference 1" field.
