Here are a few ways you can ban postage machines for items that don't fit in the machine
In the Varle.lt system, there are global rules that prohibit postage meters for goods that exceed the maximum weight of the postage meters. Sometimes the weight may not be the most suitable criterion, so post machines need to be additionally prohibited with the help of rules on our side.
- If you are using xml to import products, the weight must be provided in the '<weight>' tag for the bans to be triggered automatically.
- If you use sheets, the weight must be entered in the 'Weight (kg)' column for the bans to be activated automatically.
Additional prohibitions in the rules if you use XML to import products
Additional prohibitions for parcel machines are used in the import file with the following attributes:
- all_terminals_allowed - will prohibit all parcel machines
- venipak_terminal_allowed - will prohibit only Venipak parcel machines
- itella_terminal_allowed - will prohibit only Itella parcel machines
- omniva_terminal_allowed - will prohibit only Omniva parcel machines
- lpe_terminal_allowed - will prohibit only LPexpress parcel machines
- dpd_terminal_allowed - will prohibit only DPD parcel machines
Example to prohibit all parcel machines :
For example, to ban all parcel terminals, use the attribute 'all_terminals_allowed'. And to ban an individual parcel terminal but leave others, select the attribute for a specific parcel terminal.
Also, if you use a specific parcel terminal, you do not need to make additional bans for other parcel terminals, because other delivery methods are not active in your account.
⚠️ Attributes only accept certain values, otherwise your import will fail. You can find more information in the google sheets documentation: XML documentation

Manual postal machine insurance for individual goods
You can also ban terminals in the product administrative environment. We do not recommend this method, as it will not work dynamically and you will have to adjust each product separately. The method is useful when the seller has few items and does everything manually.
- Log in to the Product Management System: link
- Open the admin environment of a specific product by clicking on the product ID in the first column
- Go to the 'Special attributes' section. Expand the tab to find:
- all_terminals - includes all post machines. Selecting 'No' will ban all post machines.
- dpd_terminal - DPD post machines.
- venipak_terminal - VENIPAK post machines.
- lpe_terminal - LPexpress post machines.
- omniva_terminal - Omniva post machines.
- itella_terminal - ITELLA post machines.
- Select 'No' .
- Save the product.
