Re: Shipment Info from UPS

I have written programs at several customers to update UPS data into MAPICS.  
In my experience, you do not want to update MBDHREP.  You do want to update 
MBKJREP (Consolidated Shipment) - even if you are shipping one order per 
shipment.  This file contains the shipment weight, pro bill number, lading 
quantity, etc.

Most customers want the UPS charge added as a shipment special charge.  The 
Tracking numbers are usually added as the special charge description or as 
special charge comments.  Adding a special charge to an existing order can be 
done using the MAPICS Offline Shipping function.
