Batch Tracking with Quantum View®

Parcel supports Quantum View® XML Outbound™ for batch tracking information for all UPS packages. Parcel uses the UPS Quantum View® Web Service to retrieve package tracking information. The following procedure describes how to set up batch tracking for UPS packages.

To set up UPS batch tracking with Quantum View® Outbound™ in Parcel, carry out these steps:

1.Obtain the required information from UPS for Quantum View® XML Outbound™. This will include a user ID and password.

2.Complete the Quantum View® setup information in the Parcel Configuration Tool.

3.In the Parcel UI, from the System menu, select Scheduler > Tasks.

4.Specify the required values for the fields on the Manage Tasks screen.

Note: For information on using the scheduler to schedule a batch tracking task including descriptions of the fields on this screen, see the following Help topic: Scheduler-Task -Scheduling Batch Tracking.

5.Click [ADD] in the lower right-hand corner of the page to add the task and display the For Carrier drop-down list and other additional fields, as shown in the following illustration:

6.From the For Carrier drop-down list, select a UPS carrier, enter a path name and filename in the Location field (see following Note), and then click [SAVE] to save the task.

Note: The Parcel Scheduler requires that you specify a data file with a tracking task but this file is not used by the UPS Batch Tracking process. Simply specify any path name and filename in this field. Additionally, do not select a service. UPS Batch Tracking retrieves all available tracking information regardless of service. This process works as follows. UPS Quantum View® receives the tracking request from Parcel and returns the tracking data in the form of an XML file, which Parcel parses and then adds the data to the packages table in the SOR database. You can either access this data directly from the SOR database or view it on the Details screen when you select Track > Status, and then specify the UPS carrier you want to track. See the following Help topic: Scheduling Batch Tracking.
