Product: Shipping Module


If you're utilizing the TrueCommerce Shipping Module along side the UPS Worldship you can use the below guide to help understand how to run the process.

Note: This guide assumes you already have your Advance Ship Notices or Invoices created


Transaction Manager - Ship Export


With your Transactions (typically Advance Ship Notices (ASNs)) generated - you'll need to first generate the Ship Export file for your UPS software to consume. This file will contain all the information about your Shipment that UPS needs to generate the tracking numbers.

Ship Export Action

Navigate: Transactions → Outbox

Select: All desired Transaction(s)

Navigate: Actions → Ship Export

Outbox - Ship Export

Export Definition

If you're using multiple shipping platforms, or file definitions you may be prompted to select a Ship Export Definition. You'll want to select UPSWorldShip.

Select: UPSWorldShip

Select: Export

Ship Exports Selection

File Generation

Your flat file should now be generated into your Ship Export Export Path configured with Transaction Manager

Default Location: C:\True Commerce\Transaction Manager\Ship_Export\

Ship Export - UPSWorldship.txt File


UPS Processing - Importing


Once your UPSWorldship.txt file has been generated - you'll need to bring it into your UPSWorldship program.

Importing Shipment

Navigate: Import-Export → Batch Import → Batch Import

Import-Export

Select: TcCreateShipments

Check: Process shipments automatically after import

Select: Next

Batch Import

Viewing Imported Shipment

Navigate: Home → History

Expand: Imported Shipments

Select: Shipment & Edit


UPS Process - Exporting


Note: You must run the End of Day process within UPS Worldship prior to exporting new shipments

Batch Export

Navigate: Import-Export → Batch Export

Select: TcUpdateShipNotice

Set: From Date to Today's Date

Select: Next

TcUpdateShipNotice


Transaction Manager - Ship Import


Once your files are generated from UOS Worldship using the File Maintenance option - you will be able to import them using the Ship Import option within your Outbox and the system will update any matching Transaction within it.

Note: There is no need to select your Transactions as done previously. Simply perform a Ship Import.

Navigate: Transactions → Outbox → Actions → Ship Import

Transaction Manager - Ship Import

If successful - your Transaction will now have its fields updated to reflect the changes on the file.
