UPS Worldship

Yes, but we couldn't get it to directly import field values into the Progress Database, it apparently didn't like the Merant ODBC driver-it does like the Microsoft Jet driver-we wrote an app in vb 6 that 'gets' the exported values from Worldship, then uses the Merant ODBC driver to 'import' those values into Vantage, our shipper has a small interface to accomplish this.

vSQL iew and then UPS made the connection to WorldShip9 ODBC via their
Crossware application. This is a service they can provide. We had this
done on Progress before we went to SQL as well.

Has anyone integrated UPS WorldShip into Vantage 6.1 on a Progresss
database?

Thanks,

I am currently working with a UPS technical specialist to see if we can
integrate the two products to some degree. We have agreed on a multi-step
approach.

First, Map the required fields and set up a simple export file that will let
us update Worldship on a daily basis. We drop ship directly to customers
and our list of addresses changes daily.

Second, Generate an export file from Worldship containing the shipping costs
and tracking number.

Third, Determine the best way to get this information back into Vantage.

Our focus will be to make it work on a low tech basis first. Sneaker net
back and forth to prove the process is fine with me. After that we will
look at exporting to a intermediate table and updating electronically from
there on a batch mode basis. Finally, we will try to automate the process
with a live ODBC connection.

I doubt we can do all of this without some help from Epicor and the group.
I know I don't have the technical expertise to get all of this accomplished.
My intention with this posting is to try to develop a wish list of features
that we can present to Epicor along with a working low tech solution and all
of the pieces that would be needed to develop an automatic process. We will
see what happens at that point.

I look forward to hearing from you.

We have accomplish the first two steps you describe below, but the third one may be after we start using Vantage 5.1. Our approach
though was to export each packing slip Ship To address individually into a MS Access MDB file. I modified Ship Header VB Form to
place the needed information into Windows Clipboard and start a Visual Basic program. The Visual Basic program takes the clipboard
information and writes it to the MDB. Since there is only one Shipping Address per Packing Slip, the Packing Slip number is the
WorldShip identifier for that shipment. The Packing Slip numbers are bar-coded, so we can scan them into WorldShip when ready to
ship.
The third step may require custom programming in 4.0, in 5.10 I have to check into it.
If you need more info you can contact me off line if you want to.

I don't know if anyone has previously mentioned this, but Epicor is

Tentative availability is Feb/March this year. I don't know that it

In the mean time we are scanning the tracking number on the label into the field. No typing required and no errors. Our customer service people really like it (on 5.20) where in Shipment Tracker they can click on track and be right at the UPS site (more sites to come as I get time to add the URLs). Automatic would be nice especially for the cost but just to get the tracking number in was painless enough that our shipping people didn't complain at all.

Welch-Allyn ImageTeam 3800 but I would think any versitle (and cheaper) scanner might work. The WorldShip PC has a labeler attached (UPS's equipment) and spits out box labels with bar codes on them. I was assuming they are Code 39 but the scanner is smart enough to decode most symboligies. It is a keyboard wedge type scanner so there was no driver involved. It scans the FedEx tracking number bar code too. The shipping people just tab to the tracking numbe field and zap the barcode.

I was thinking of modifying the Shipping Header VB Form in combination with Visual Basic program to get the tracking numbers.
Scanning sounds lot simpler.

service people really like it (on 5.20) where in Shipment Tracker they can click on track and be right at the UPS site (more sites
to come as I get time to add the URLs). Automatic would be nice especially for the cost but just to get the tracking number in was
painless enough that our shipping people didn't complain at all.

No, but we have WorldShip9 integrated in V805.03K on SQL. We created the
vSQL iew and then UPS made the connection to WorldShip9 ODBC via their
Crossware application. This is a service they can provide. We had this
done on Progress before we went to SQL as well.
