UPS OnLineâ is an electronic data transfer system that allows shippers to upload their Package Level Detail (PLD) directly to UPS when they Close instead of printing a manifest report. The PLD can include customer reference fields so your customers can easily track their own packages. StarShip’s UPS OnLineâ feature also makes it easy for you to track packages. StarShip supports UPS OnLineâ for all domestic services (including Hundredweight) and International shipments.
Commissioning
Before uploading shipments to UPS, you must set up the communication parameters and commission with UPS. Once commissioned, the UPS Data Center assigns a unique mailbox ID number, registers your shipper number, and assigns electronic book and page numbers. These numbers increment as PLD is uploaded to UPS.
StarShip communicates with UPS via the Internet or HTTP protocol. You have three options for accessing the Internet:
LAN internet connection
Dial-up internet connection
The UPS Internet Service Provider
Just the computer that performs end-of-day close needs access to the Internet. A dedicated connection is not required because the connection only needs to be available when you perform the end-of-day Close procedure and StarShip attempts to communicate with UPS.
