The Rates button on the Pack & Ship screen displays real-time UPS or USPS rates for all shipping methods those carriers offer.
To shop for UPS real-time rates, you must configure UPS OnLine® Tools through the Shipping tab of the Setup Guide. Select Setup UPS Account for Rate Shopping.
Set system parameter USPSFromZip in order to shop for USPS real-time rates.
It is not possible to view real-time FedEx shipping rates at this screen, however, you can obtain that information through the Additional Functions link on the ShipRush interface. ShipRush for FedEx is required for printing shipping labels internally through Monsoon OMS. Customers with a current support contract are provided an annual license code for ShipRush.
For UPS shipments, the Use Selected Rate function returns the shipping method and cost to Monsoon Fulfillment Manager, which updates its order with that information. This function does not work for USPS shipments as the USPS interface is not able to return shipping rate information to Monsoon OMS. You have to manually select the most desirable shipping method in Monsoon Fulfillment Manager.
If the shipping method the Monsoon Order Manager assigned to the order is changed once it is received at the Monsoon Fulfillment Manager, the change in method is communicated to the Monsoon Order Manager, although the change in actual shipping charge is not. The actual method is displayed in the Fulfillment Summary of the Process Orders>Shipping tab in the Monsoon Order Manager. Actual shipping charges are not automatically updated in the Monsoon Order Manager since the order must still reflect the shipping charges paid by the customer when the order was placed. The actual shipping charges are recorded in the order which exists in the Monsoon Fulfillment Manager.
Keep
in mind that the default settings for UPS OnLine®
Tools should match those specified in your shipping profile for UPS WorldShip
or ShipRush for UPS in order for the estimated shipping rates to match
as closely as possible. Any number of variables can cause the quoted shipping
rates to vary from the actual rate obtained when the shipping label
is printed.
Select a logo at the top of the page to see shipping rates for shipping methods from that carrier.
The grid shows a list of shipping Methods, their estimated Cost or Negotiated rate, and Currency type of the cost quote.
The Notes field contains the description of the shipping method and the Warning field indicates the rates displayed here should be used as a best estimate. Depending on the settings of the application which actually prints the shipping label, the charges may vary slightly from those displayed here.
For UPS shipping methods you can automatically update the order in SEFM with the currently selected shipping method and clicking Use Selected Rates.
Go to File>Settings>Setup>Shipping.
Enter your Company Information.
