Set up a new account

 

  1. Available UPS accounts are defined by your registration key. Select the UPS Account from the Accounts grid and click the Edit button. You can also double-click the account.





  2. When the Account wizard launches, click Next.





  3. Type in the account and address information. You can also select a previously set up Address ID from the drop-down list to populate the address fields. Click Next.
     




  4. The UPS Developer Kit License and Registration Wizard helps you to complete the necessary requirements for registering the UPS Developer Kit. You will need to register each account individually. Complete the steps provided by the wizard.

    Please read the terms and conditions of the UPS technology agreement required for use of the UPS Developer Kit. You must scroll to the end of the agreement in order to enable the “Yes, I Do Agree” radio button. You can also print the agreement by clicking the Print button. When you have agreed to the terms by clicking Yes, I Do Agree, the Next button is enabled and you can continue with the setup process.





  5. Negotiated Rates

    Once you click Next, you can set up your account to use negotiated rates. Check "This account has been set up with UPS to use Negotiated Rates" if you have set this up with your UPS Account Representative. Then, fill in the Invoice information from your last UPS Delivery Service Invoice. As noted on the dialog, it may take between 24-48 hours after you register the account to use your negotiated rates.


    Dimensional Weight Factor

    For each UPS service, you can enter custom dimensional weight divisors that are used to calculate the billed weight. Although UPS calculates and returns both the list (published) and custom rates, only the list value of the billed weight is returned. The dimensional weight factors below are used by StarShip to calculate and display the custom billed weight value on the Ship screen. The factors default to list (published) values, but can be modified here to reflect contract rates. This will not affect the charges, only the billed weight that shows on-screen. So, for example, If you have any freight rules that use the billed weight field, it will be updated so that freight rules work correctly.
    Use the Revert to Defaults button to reset values to the original defaults.

    The default dimensional weight  for U.S. domestic service packages are calculated as follows :
  6. Click Next. StarShip sends a commissioning request to UPS. If successful, this is reflected in the UPS Transaction window.




    The wizard then steps you through the Settings and Accessorial Charges setup dialogs.

Add an Account

 

When you add a new account to a system that is already commissioned, StarShip sends an “add shipper” request for the existing Mailbox ID, which returns the book and page number. After the add shipper request has been sent, you will then register the UPS Developer Kit.

 

  1. Double-click the account on the Accounts tab. Then, click Next on the first dialog of the wizard.
  2. Enter the account and address information. Click Next.
  3. The UPS Add Shipper request is sent. Click OK.
  4. Scroll to the bottom of the agreement and select Yes, I Do Agree. Click Next.

Check "This account has been set up with UPS to use Negotiated Rates" if you have set this up with your UPS Account Representative. Then, fill in the Invoice information from your last UPS Delivery Service Invoice. As noted on the dialog, it may take between 24-48 hours after you register the account to use your negotiated rates.
