RE: Shipment Info from UPS

If you have multiple tracking numbers, they can be placed onto actual
container records if you are containerizing. If you aren't
containerizing, most of the shipping companies allow you to "Link" the
tracking numbers so that one tracking number can actually show them
all.. 

I have written many systems that backload MAPICS and do sell a product
that supports this ability. Many customers just go with the one tracking
number, but if you have to do ASN with your customers, they want the
container info.

Teresa,

MBH7CPS7 is keyed by Company and Picklist Number - this should point you
to
the MBDHREP file.  As long as you only have 1 Tracking number to deal
with
you should be fine putting it in MBDHREP.  What I do (even though my
customer does not use WorldShip) is to write Shipment Comments that
print at
the top of the Packing List/Invoice.  By putting it on the Packing List,
when the MAPICS ASN gets faxed, the tracking numbers are on the
document.
Also, during Order Inquiry, the CSR's can relay the tracking numbers to
the
customers if they call  -or-  they can cut/paste and track themselves. I
also email an ASN to selected customers with this information. The
comments
look something like this...

************************* ************************
Track your shipment at:   www.ups.com
Tracking number(s):      No. of Parcels: 1
************************* *************************
1ZXXXXXXXXXXXXXX   Parcel 1

I store the carriers web address in line 5 and retrieve it for each
carrier
that we have.

Eric
