UPSBOOK
Computer Manifest System
UPSBOOK is a host manifest program that enables you to
automatically prepare UPS paperwork and maintain accurate
shipping records. Some of the time saving features included in
the UPSBOOK program are:
A customer database for automatic entry
Entry of one time shipments
Printed C.O.D. tags
Printed shipping labels
Two copies of the manifest
Automatic shipping charge calculation
Customer Mailing Labels
Program Objectives:
UPSBOOK provides a quick, cost effective method of
computerizing your United Parcel Service shipments. It has been
designed to use the least expensive materials and methods while
maintaining low labor costs.
The program has been designed to be self contained so that the
only time the documentation should be required is setup.
Autohelp lines appear at the bottom of the screen allowing
immediate confirmation of the information required.
Hardware Requirements:
396k of "free" memory should be sufficient for UPSBOOK to run.
Disk caching will increase the speed of the program.
Hard disk requirements will vary depending on how many packages
are shipped and how large the history file is allowed to grow. A
minimum of 2 meg is recommended for starters and should be
adequate for most users.
UPSBOOK was designed to work best with EPSON printer and
printers that are 100% EPSON compatible. However OKIDATA and
Hewlett Packard Laser Jet printers may be used. It is
recommended that you try before you buy a printer. The basic
reports can be handled by any 80 column printer, however a
concern should be the ability of the printer to handle UPS's COD
TAGS which are thick and tend to jam or damage the heads of some
printers. Bottom fed printers tend to do a better job of
handling these thick tags.
Installation on a Hard Drive:
1. Create a directory for the UPSBOOK programs and data.
MD UPSBOOK
2. Change to the directory you just created.
CD UPSBOOK
3. Copy all files from the distribution disk to this directory.
COPY A:*.*/V where A: is the drive that the distribution
disk is located
STARTING UPSBOOK
If you are not running Novell's Btrieve, which is true for most
users:
1. Change to the UPSBOOK directory.
2. Type UBOOK which will load Btrieve and start UPSBOOK.
Note: Btrieve will be removed from memory when exiting
UPSBOOK.
If your are already running Novell's Btrieve on you computer:
1. Change the UPSBOOK directory.
2. Type UPSBOOK /bt
Note: /bt prevents UPSBOOK from unloading BTRIEVE when
exiting the program.
GETTING AROUND IN UPSBOOK
UPSBOOK is a menu driven program which is quick and easy to
use. All of your options will be shown at the top of your screen
as the MAIN MENU. A description of the highlighted option is
shown at the bottom of the screen. The MAIN MENU looks similar
to the following:
To select an option use the right and left arrow keys <- -> to
move the highlighted line to the option menu. After the option
menu is highlighted press the Enter/Return key which will cause
the PULL DOWN MENU for that option to be shown on the screen. To
select a command from these menus follow the above instructions
using the up and down arrow keys. To remove the pull down menu
from the screen press the ESCape key.
Exiting UPSBOOK is done by pressing the ESCape key until you
have returned to the main menu. Once the main menu is displayed
highlight Functions and press the Enter/Return key. Next,
highlight Quit to DOS in the pull down menu and press the
Enter/Return key. Your computer will return you to a C:> or your
shell if you are using one.
OVERVIEW OF THE MAIN MENU
Functions: The Functions menu allows you to work with entries in
your current UPS pickup record. You can make new entries into
the daily UPS pickup record or you can delete and update
existing entries. A fourth option allows you to Change Index
allowing you to change the parameter that the computer uses to
move through existing records. The last choice under Functions
is Quit to DOS.
Print: The Print menu is used to print all your daily shipping
paperwork including shipping labels, COD tags and the shipping
manifest for the UPS driver. This menu is also used, when in
the History Mode, to print previous manifest/pickup records if
reprints are needed.
Charts: The Charts menu gives you access to the rate and zone
charts which are used to compute the UPS shipping and billing
information. The Charts menu also provides access to the
Additional Rate Chart/Setup screen which is where you input
information on your particular needs in this system. The
Printer Setup option allows you to direct where the output from
the program will be directed.
History: The History menu allows you to go back and review old
entries in previous shipping logs. It also allows you to
compare your calculations of the UPS bill to the bill that UPS
has sent you. To conserve disk space you can delete old
manifests any time after they have been finalized.
NOTE: You must have a history file with entries in it to be
able to make use of this function.
DataBases: The DataBases menu allows you to access the customer
database section of the program. The customer database is used
for automatic entry of shipments into the daily manifest. This
command also allows you to update your shipper information
including your company name and address and to obtain Program
Information on this program.
NOTE: UPS shipper numbers can only be modified by JHF Software.
If you should require a change of your shipper number, please
contact your salesperson or Audiotronics, Inc. for assistance.
SETTING UP THE PROGRAM
To begin using UPSBOOK you must first fill in your shipper
information and rate information, if necessary.
Using the right arrow key select Charts on the main bar menu
and press the Enter/Return key. With the pull down menu
displayed use the down arrow to select Additional Rate
Chart/Setup and press the Enter/Return key. The ADDITIONAL
SHIPPING CHARGES AND DEFAULT INFORMATION chart will appear on the
screen. To return to the pull down menu without making any
changed press the ESCape key.
The first field is the Pickup Record number box. Enter the
number from the first page of your UPS Computer Manifest Book,
which is supplied by United Parcel Service.
The next fields, COD Charge, Call Tag, Insurance rate per $100,
Residential add and GROUNDTRAC add require you entering the
shipping charges for these services. Most of this information
will be found at the bottom of the UPS rate chart with the
exception of the Residential and GROUNDTRAC. UPS adds a flat
surcharge on its commercial rates for residential deliveries and
GROUNDTRAC. This additional charge is calculated by subtracting
the Zone 2, 1 pound commercial rate from the Zone 2, 1 pound
residential rate. The GROUNDTRAC charge is calculated in the
same manor.
Next you will need to enter the Letter Rates for Blue Label
Zones 12 through 16 and Red Label Zones 22 through 26. The 87
through 89 zones are used for Canada and can be found on the
Canadian rate chart.
The Default Ref# contains the number that will be used to
identify each package. This number may be reset to match your
invoice number or left at the default setting. Once the Reference
Number is set it will automatically increase with each package.
The Reference Number may also be changed in the actual manifest
entry to accommodate other shipments such as returns. If you do
not wish to have UPSBOOK automatically issue a default number,
enter a zero and the Default Reference Number will be disabled
and the field will always be blank. Although package id numbers
may be duplicated on different days, you may never have the same
number on the same day.
NOTE: If you use the same package id numbers on days that are
close together, UPS will have trouble locating any lost packages.
It is recommended that package id number not be repeated for at
least 10 days!
The Record History allows you to turn off the History tracking
file. If you do not wish to have the computer store what
packages are sent, you may defeat this feature by selecting N.
Disability this feature will prevent you from looking up packages
at a later date.
The Record Bills allows you to turn off the Bill History
tracking file. If you do not wish to compare your UPS bills
against the computer, you can disable this feature to save disk
space.
Next you will need to let the system know if you will be using
a Color Monitor. If you are using a color monitor, answer Y.
New Customer maybe selected if the program should search the
customer database for each "new" entry to determine if the new
entry's company is already in the Customer Database. If the
company isn't found in the data base, you will be asked if you
wish to add them.
Pkg ID on COD will allow you the option of printing the Package
ID Number on the top of each COD tag. If you select NO and you
are using an Epson printer, your shipper number will be printed
in the wide mode. Answering NO will cause no Package ID Number
to be printed for you package!! In most cases you will want to
answer Y to this question.
The next group of questions deal with your shipping label.
First, you will be asked if you would like to have your shipper
address printed on your shipping labels using the Print Return
option. If you are using a blank label, which is recommended,
you should select Y. If you are using preprinted labels, select
N and use label type 0.
Next you can select between 3 different shipping Label Types.
The following is a listing of how the blocks of information will
appear on your shipping label:
Label 0
Label 1
Label 2
Label 2 meets all of the requirements of UPS, however you and
your account representative may find that another label may work
best for your application. We recommend that you select method
2.
Next, at Shipping Label, you need to enter the height of you
shipping label in number of printed lines. Generally, 6 lines
equal an inch. If you are using the Quill label, this value will
be 18. The next information that you will need to determine is
what line you wish to start on. Usually this will be line 1,
however you may find that you need to space down due to the
requirements of your particular application. Proper setup may
take some experimenting. Enter several entries into the book and
print all labels to be sure that your setup is correct.
The next information on this screen is the Pkg ID = Alt #. If
you answer Y to this question, the Alternate Control Number
printed on COD tags will automatically default to the Package ID
number. If you select N, you must manually enter the Alternate
Control Number.
The last field, Print Alt Manf, is used if you are using an old
style shipping log. If you are using on old log, you may find it
convenient to have an alternate manifest printed to aid in
quickly filling out the log. Several accounts have reported that
they do not have to completely fill out a shipping log. If you
do not need this alternate report, answer N.
When you have finished entering all necessary information press
the F10 key to save the information. You will receive a messages
to let you know that the information has been saved. Press the
ESCape key to return to the pull down menu.
SETTING UP THE PRINTERS
UPSBOOK has the ability to direct the output for reports
(standard), COD tags and Labels to different printers. This
information is entered using the Printer Setup option.
Acceptable locations for printer output are LPT1, LPT2 and LPT3.
You may then select the type of printer for each option.
SETTING UP SHIPPER INFORMATION
The next step is to fill in your shipper information. Use the
right arrow key to select DataBases. Use the down arrow to select
Shipper Information and press the Enter/Return key. The Setup
for Shipper Information chart will be displayed. Enter your

REGISTRATION
Once we have received your registration form and payment, we
will ship a registered copy of the program containing your UPS
shipper number. We offer a 100% money back guarantee if you are
not satisfied with the program or if UPS does not approve the
program. We have found UPS to be VERY slow in processing
manifest requests with requests for approval taking 4 to 6 weeks
in some cases.
Errors or bugs will be corrected as quickly as possible, We do
offer 24 hour modem support at (703) 342-1800 or (703) 344-3400.
If you have any questions prior to registration, please contact
your salesman or Audiotronics.
