I'm in the process of integrating UPS and MOM. I got it all setup as per the documentation the UPS tech brought, but wasn't satisfied with the results. The way it worked required too much manual importing and exporting and we were looking for something much simpler. I looked into the UPS HTTP setup too, which looked more automated, but still wasn't sure it'd fit well with our setup.

I ended up setting it up very similar to how Fedex set their system up for us. I used the database maps in Worldship to import customer information into Worldship via ODBC. They can type in an invoice number and it populates the address, etc fields. That part works mostly just like we wanted, still a few kinks to work out.

Now, I need to get the tracking number exported back into MOM. They have our Fedex system setup so that it automatically edits the MOM DBF file(s) for the tracking information. I can't find which file(s) it's editing, but I think BOX.DBF is where the info should be going?

Anyone had any luck setting something like this up? If I can't do it the way Fedex has it, then I'll have to export to a CSV file and figure out a way to automate that, so any hints on that direction would also be appreciated!

Thank you,

Susie

Dydacomp has very easy-to-follow set up documentation, both for the export of data from MOM to Worldship and for the import of tracking numbers from Worldship to MOM. Just call or email tech support and ask them to email the docs to you.
