Calculate Transit Time

To specify local calculation only of transit times in Parcel, select (check) this check box. For the behavior of the two transit time options on this screen, see the following Note.

Notes:

To enable retrieval of transit data from UPS via the Web as well as the calculation of transit times, leave this checkbox unselected and select the Retrieve Transit Data From Web check box (see below). Additionally, if you select this check box and do not select the Retrieve Transit Data From Web check box, Parcel will use default data provided by BluJay Solutions or data that you import using the Import Time in Transit Files screen for transit time calculations.

This check box is unselected by default.

Retrieve Transit Data From Web

To retrieve the data used to calculate time in transit from the UPS Web site, select (check) this check box. If this check box is selected, Parcel first attempts to retrieve time in transit data from the UPS Web site. If available, this data is used by Parcel for time in transit. If, for some reason, data is unavailable from the UPS Web site, Parcel uses local default time in transit data provided by BluJay Solutions.

Notes:

This check box is selected by default.

If Parcel uses default local data, this data does not include service codes and has the Geographic Code set to ALL. This means there are a standard number of days for a given service regardless of origin or destination. Youcan change the number of days for a given service for the geo code ALL.

You can import your own time in transit data. If you import your own time in transit files, be sure to include a record for each service with a geo code of ALL. For more information on this, see the following Help topic: Overview of TINT Calculation\.
