UCS Carrier API Setup and Configuration

Overview

This document is designed to explain how to setup and configure a Universal Carrier Schema (UCS) in SureShip™. 


UCS Setup 

  1. Refer to the UCS Carriers spreadsheet for the list of available UCS Carriers and their Carrier Code to use in Infor SyteLine™.  
  2. In the Carriers form, add the Carrier Code listed for the UCS Carrier.



      3. In the SureShip Carriers form, add the same Carrier Code listed for the UCS Carrier. Select the Universal Carrier Schema check box.











      4. In the SureShip Carrier Connection Configurations form, add a new record for the carrier, specify a Config ID of 1 and Save. You do not need to set up any additional information. 

       5. In the SureShip Carrier Connection Configurations form, on the new carrier configuration, select Populate Default Data. This will generate all the records and data needed for that carrier. 

     

      6. In the SureShip Carrier Connection Configurations form on the API Calls tab, there will be various types of connection calls such as PRINT, SHIP, SHOP, and TRACK. Refer to the UCS Carriers spreadsheet to see which fields for each connection call (based on the specific carrier) needs to be updated with values instead of the demo or placeholder value. *Note: Reach out to your carrier for instructions on how to generate the proper keys or credentials. Please ensure your account is enabled for API Calls. 


      7. For some carriers there may be additional information to substitute in the Attributes tab. Refer to the UCS Carriers spreadsheet for guidance regarding the values that need to be entered into these fields. Reach out to the carrier for the exact values needed to be entered into these fields.


Setting Ship Via Codes and Ship Via Mapping

  1. In the Ship Via Codes form, add Ship Via Codes for the new carrier. 


      2.  In the SureShip Ship Via Mapping form, add a Ship Via Mapping record for the Ship Via codes you created for the carrier and Save.  


      3. Navigate to the Shipping Options tab and set up the shipping option defaults you would like to use for this carrier connection. The defaults that are set here will flow to the customer orders/transfer orders/service orders when selected and then to the Bill of Lading (BOL).

      4. For Freight Carriers, in the SureShip Carrier Package Type Map form, create a mapping for the new Carrier Package Type to the appropriate SL (SyteLine) Package Type. Select the Freight and Adjustable Dims check boxes. 


      5. On the SureShip Site Configurations form, for the Site Configurations you have set up, add a new record for the new Carrier with its Carrier Config ID and Save.
