How do I use World Ship with NumberCruncher?
Using UPS World Ship and All Orders
All Orders 3.X
Interfacing NumberCruncher with UPS World Ship
NumberCruncher can export address information to
UPS World Ship. After the shipments are processed, the tracking #, cost,
packages and weight can be imported into NumberCruncher. Setting up
NumberCruncher to work with World Ship is done through Edit - Preferences
or can be set
up manually. UPS World Ship has certain advantage over UPS
Internet Shipping, including batch end of day processing.
On Shipping, Work Orders and Transfer,
address information is exported to UPS World Ship by dropping down the Print
button and selecting Export to UPS. Then you can
immediately access any exported document without batch importing by using the
Key Import functionality in World Ship. In addition you can
automatically export from World Ship after each shipment or end of day without
batch exporting.
Using Keyed Import
Before using the Key Import feature you will
need to set up UPS to work with NumberCruncher as discussed above.
After set-up do the following:
- Open UPS World Ship
- Select from the menu UPS Online Connect
--> Keyed Import --> more... then select NCWSIMPORT (you only have
to do this the first time thereafter it will be part of the menu)
- When you select Keyed Import you will see a
small box which you can type in the UPS Reference comprised of TranType and
Doc No. For example:
- Shipping-39893
- Work Order-405

- Process the shipment as usual
TIP: In version 3.1 you
can add a bar code containing the UPS Ref to a packing slip then scan it into
the Key Import box.
