Hi all -
I've been doing a bit of searching to see if it is possible to send orders to UPS Worldship and then bring back the tracking numbers like my client currently does with AC 5.5, and it seems like every post has a different answer. Can someone tell me if this is still possible in the new version of AC? Do you still use custom maps to go back and forth, or do you use the DataPort utility?
Many thanks,

Re: AC 7 to UPS Worldship and Back
I think these are the most practical options:
1. Use DataPort to export orders to UPS WorldShip and to import the tracking numbers from UPS WorldShip. I don't know if the import and export maps from 5.5 will work with the DataPort formats.
2. From AC to UPS WorldShip: Add a custom View to your database that has the pending orders, and create a custom import map to read the View. From UPS WorldShip to AC: Add a custom table to your database for the tracking information with a trigger that executes a stored procedure to update the tracking table.
3. Use my Shipper product.
