Re: Real-time link between Mapics and UPS World Ship

Lisa,

We are doing this at our company with a method rather similar to what you
are describing, except that we have the UPS system linking to our data via
ODBC, and update the information in COM for shipments/billing using the
Offline Shipping enhancement (OFFSHIP).  I'm on vacation now (just checking
my e-mail), but I can send you detail information later this week if you
want.  This is working pretty slick for us.

Is anyone doing a real-time link between Mapics and UPS World Ship?  I am
wanting to: 1.Create a shipment 2.Export Ship to and shipping method data
to
UPS World Ship.  3.Create the Shipment in UPS World Ship  4.Send the data
back to Mapics  5.Update Tracking # and Cost in COM.  6.Print the packing
list.

I am looking at using the Exit:  Process shipment to Export the data to UPS
and possibly the Exit: Enter ship spc chrg to Import the UPS data.

Any ideas or suggestions?
