UPS – Tracking Number Maintenance
UPS tracking numbers recycle from zero when the maximum tracking number is reached, so no maintenance is needed. It is recommended to have one range for each shipper account to allow ranges to last longer. Ensure that European ranges begin at 40000 and have a maximum value of 70999. The sequence part of tracking numbers is configured in PRECISION by Packing Location or by carrier account number. A procedure in the XTUPSSHP.W looks for two system values:
• UPS: MAXIMUM SEQ NR to get the maximum number allowed
• UPS: [Internal ID] SEQ LAST to find the last sequence number used.
If UPS: [Internal ID] SEQ LAST contains no value, a new system value is created.
• Where wv-european-ups is true, the starting point is 4000000.
• If not, the starting point is set to the value in UPS: LAST USED SEQ NR.
• If that system value does not exist, the starting point is set to 1.
