Re: Offline Shipping and creating comments for Tracking Numbers -- MAPICS-L

Eric, that's correct. I had the requirement/request from my customers to list them all on the invoice.

BTW - what I put in the special charge lines were the model# and VIN of the campers, type 0, no charge lines. That was a requirement from the finance companies. I didn't put the tracking numbers in the special charge lines - they were in the comments. But it would be much easier to put the tracking numbers in special charge lines than comments - the problem would be the invoices would be LONG! But it'd work...

Depending on how your tracking numbers are generated, you may be able to just use the "master". Fedex uses a master to link to all others in a "n of n" scenario. I believe UPS does this as well. These masters point to all the others when following the parcels.

The link is dead (if it's to my web site) because the company (Fleetwood Folding Trailers) no longer exists. I'm on the road this weekend, but if no one responds by Monday, I'll see if I still have the document on my home office PC. I do recall that adding comments isn't as straightforward as I thought it would be. There is also a tracking number field you can use, but it's limited to one tracking number. I used the comments because we frequently had multiple packages with multiple tracking numbers.... And that was the only way I could show multiple tracking numbers for a single shipment/invoice.

I am looking for information on how to create Offline shipping special
charge records that will be interpreted as comments on the order.
Particularly multiple tracking numbers. I know the file to populate is
OSAARES0 but I'm not sure about which fields are required besides Special
charge ID, a zero special charge and tracking number in the description.
The Offline Shipping documentation I have is very sparse in this regard.

I've seen information on this message board from some years back (about
2004-2005) that there is a document by Dale Gindlesperger that
explains/shows how to do this. The link to download no longer works. Does
anyone have a copy that they can share?

Thank You,

T Sidel
