Configuring Shipping Defaults
Once you have completed UPS account setup, you can adjust the default shipping values and label output settings by choosing Defaults within the Preferences layout.
SHIPPING PREFS
Shipping defaults can help you speed up shipment creation. Default Settings include everything from shipping account, service and package type - to default weights and delivery confirmation.
EMAIL NOTIFICATIONS
You can set up email notifications for shipment, delivery and for any exceptions. You must have a sender email as part of the shipping address to allow for recipient notifications.
AUTOMATION
Import Format - There are a number of pre-configurated imports to allow you to import shipping data. Simply select the one you would use the most and this will set the default file type when you click on the "Import" icon on the main Shipping Screen and the Shipping List.
Copy Track Number to Clipboard - The tracking number for your shipment will automatically be copied to your clipboard when this is checked in preferences. You can then paste the tracking number to another application, an email or to your Ecommerce order page or invoice in your order management system.
Create New Record After Shipment - A new shipment will automatically be created when you select this option in the automation section of Preferences.
Address Validation - US addresses are validated using UPS Address validation prior to shipping. This feature can be toggled on and off here.
BOX SIZES
If you ship with the same box sizes on a regular basis and dimensional weight is a factor in your shipping rates, you'll want to add these defaults to save time and money as you prepare your shipments.
