Shipping Templates - In Depth

Shipments can are triggered by scheduling jobs in the SQL or CRM system.  These jobs can be scheduled interactively (with the template files on a lookup), or created from a macro button, process, or code.

 

How shipping works:

 

Shipping is done with shipping templates.  OmniRush shipping template files may have the extensions FRP, FRU, and ZPK.  OmniRush includes dozens of DHL, FedEx and UPS shipping templates for you to use out of the box.  Examples are:

 

FedEx:

P1_Box_1Lbs.zpk

GRND_Box_1Lbs.zpk

STD_Box_1Lbs.zpk

P1_Letter.zpk

delete.zpk

 

For example, P1_Box_1lbs  is a Priority Overnight Box, with a weight of 1 lb.  STD... is for Standard Overnight.

 

UPS:

UPS_NDA_BOX_1LB.ZPK

UPS_NDA_LTR.ZPK

UPS_2DA_BOX_1LB.ZPK

UPS_3DS_BOX_1LB.ZPK

UPS_GND_BOX_1LB.ZPK

 

(NDA means UPS Next Day Air®)

 

Shipping templates are created using the interactive ShipRush software. (See the ShipRush Help File, under Templates in the Index for steps.)

 

A general rule is to keep template names short, 12 characters or fewer including file extension.
