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
