Account Number and Services
When you add a new UPS Canada carrier account, the page to enter the UPS Canada account number appears. On this page, you also select the UPS Canada services with which you will ship packages from this location.
To configure the UPS Canada account number and services, complete these steps...
-
In the Account Number field, type the UPS Canada account number for this location.
Caution: This field allows alphanumeric characters. However, you must use all uppercase characters for the check-digit algorithm to generate correct check digits. (This algorithm converts letters in the account number to numbers in such a way that upper- and lower-case letters produce different values for the same letter.)
-
In Carrier Code, type a name for the carrier as you want it to appear in this Configuration Tool and in Parcel. For example, if you are setting up more than one UPS Canada account for this location, you might want to type 'UPSCA-2' (without quotes) if this is the second UPS Canada account for this location.

Split Horizon
What is Split Horizon?
Determining shipping rates and accessorials is typically accomplished by querying a database with rate and accessorial tables supplied by the carrier. Most carriers have a default set of list rates and accessorials that they publish annually or semiannually. In addition to list rates and accessorials, some large shippers negotiate their own custom rates with a carrier.
Because carriers may decide to change their rates at any time during the year, there is a date when a set of rates goes into effect. There may also come a date when the current set of rates is no longer in effect. This means that more than one set of list rates can be stored in the database simultaneously, including custom rates. Split horizon rating provides a way to automatically determine the correct rates to use.
Use the Split Horizon screen to define effective dates for rates and accessorials. For information on working with table screens in the Web Admin Tool, see the following Help topic:

UPS Developer Kit®
UPS offers some services through a Web Service called UPS Developer Kit
®
. Parcel uses UPS Developer Kit
®
to process tracking, Time in Transit, and Ground Freight Rating requests. Access to this Web Service requires that you first register for a UPS Developer Kit
®
account. You can do so using the Parcel UPS Developer Kit
®
Registration screen.
Notes:
-
You need to register separately with UPS Online® Tools for each of these UPS services, for each carrier you configure for each location.
-
If you are upgrading from a previous Parcel version that already has a UPS Online® Tools account set up in conjunction with a configured UPS carrier or carriers, you are not required to re-register for these carriers. However, it is recommended that you do so. For more information on setting up a UPS Developer Kit® account, see the following Help topic: UPS Developer Kit® .

UPS Developer Kit ® replaces UPS Online ® Tools in previous Parcel versions.

Data Import
The UPS Canada Data Import screen enables you to import files for the following functionality in Parcel:
-
Worldwide Validation
-
Billable Weight Determination
-
Peak/Demand Surcharge
The following sections describe these functions and how to import the files to support them.
WorldWide Validation Import
UPS provides a monthly distribution called "WorldWide Distribution Validation" in the form of a Zip file containing a set of CSV validation files for accessorials, billing, and services. Parcel enables you to import these files into your Parcel system using the WW Validation Import screen.
To import UPS WorldWide Validation files...
-
Extract the files from the UPS WorldWide Validation Zip file into a directory on your Parcel server.
Caution: The directory to which you unzip the WorldWide Validation files must be on the same computer as the Parcel server.
-
In the Parcel Web Admin tool, select a UPS Canada carrier, and then select the Data Import screen.
-
In the Import Date box, type the World Wide Validation Effective Date in YYYYMMDD format; for example: July 9, 2010, is rendered as "20100709" (without quotation marks). This is mandatory field for World Wide Validation import.
-
In the World Wide Validation Data Directory box, enter the full (absolute) path to the folder to which you extracted the WorldWide validation Zip file; for example: C:\Program Files\Kewill\Flagship\wvdata.
-
To retain WorldWide validation data that you have previously imported, select (check) the check box labeled Keep previous World Wide Validation Data.
Caution: If you leave this check box unselected (the default), previous WorldWide validation data is automatically purged when you download the new data. Additionally, if you specify a future effective date, you need to select this option to retain a copy of your previously imported WorldWide Validation Data if you wish to have it available until the effective date of the new data.
Note: Selecting this option retains one copy of the most recent WorldWide validation data that you imported.
-
Click SAVE to save your settings.
Note: When you specify the location for the UPS WorldWide Validation files under one UPS Canada carrier, Parcel uses these files globally to validate accessorials, billing, and services for all UPS Canada carriers.
Billable Weight Determination Import
Parcel performs a Minimum Billable Weight calculation for international multi-piece shipments.
If an account or destination country is not exempt from package-level billable weight rules, billable weight is determined using package level data. If the destination status is exempt, shipment-level billable weight is used. Shipment billable weight is based on shipment-level data and does not require determining the billable weight for each package in the shipment.
When package billable weight is used, the following process is carried out. First the Package Billable Weight is determined for each package in the shipment. This weight is compared to the minimum billable weight for a package as defined by UPS, and the greater of the two values is taken as the package billable weight. This process is repeated for each package in the shipment and the sum of the package billable weights determined by this method is the shipment billable weight.
For a Shipper Account or Third Party Account, use UPS Online Tool to determine whether the account has an exempt status. UPS provides a file listing which countries are exempt and which countries are not. This is the file that you need to import using this screen.
To import the UPS Billable Weight data file:
-
In the UPS Billable Weight Data Directory box, enter the full (absolute) path to the folder to which you extracted the UPS file; for example: C:\Program Files\Kewill\Flagship\bwdata\
-
Click SAVE to save your settings.
UPS Peak/Demand Surcharge Import
UPS provides a weekly distribution called "Object Distribution" in the form of a Zip file containing a comma-separated format (text file with the extension "txt") for peak/demand surcharge rates, effective dates, accessorials, and specified domestic and international services. Parcel enables you to import these files into your Parcel system using the UPS Data Import screen.
To import UPS Peak/Demand Surcharge Data Import files...
1. Extract the files from the UPS Peak/Demand Surcharge Data Import Zip file into a directory on your Parcel server.
Caution: The directory to which you unzip the UPS Data Import files must be on the same system as the Parcel server.
2. In the Parcel Web Admin tool, select a UPS carrier, and then select the Data Import screen.
3. In the Import Date box, type the Peak/Demand Surcharge Import date in YYYYMMDD format; for example: July 30, 2020, is rendered as "20200730" (without quotation marks). This is optional field.
4. In the
Peak/Demand Surcharge Data Directory box, enter the path to the folder to which you extracted the UPS Peak/Demand Surcharge Zip file; for example: C:\Program Files\Kewill\Flagship\psdata{color}
5. Click SAVE to save your settings.
Note: When you specify the location for the UPS Peak/Demand Surcharge Data Import files under one UPS carrier, Parcel uses these files globally to import peak/demand surcharge rates, effective dates, accessorials and services for all UPS carriers.
