- Overview
- --------
-
- The Parcel Shipping Program (PSP) is a menu-driven software system
- that meets all UPS reporting requirements. It is designed to
- eliminate the tedious UPS paperwork for companies that use UPS for
- shipping.
-
- As you enter your shipping transactions, PSP looks up the UPS zone
- from the ZIP code. Next PSP calculates the UPS shipping charges.
-
- PSP also can produce shipping labels, COD Tags and UPS Manifests.
-
- PSP maintains a shipping address file for frequently shipped to
- customers and a temporary file for one time shipments that can be
- deleted at the end of the day.
-
- Local UPS approval is needed to operate PSP (see below).
-
- Special Requirements: DOS 3.0 or higher, Minimum 640KB, IBM,
- EPSON, or OKIDATA , HP Laser printer(s), Hard Disk
-
-
-
-
- ==========================
- How to Install & Start PSP
- ==========================
-
- How to Install: Make a directory on your Hard disk for
- PSP. Copy all files on the master diskette
- to this directory.
-
- How to Start: Change current directory to directory
- containing PSP. Enter PSP after prompt.
-
-

- =========
- Using PSP
- =========
-
- General
- -------
- After starting PSP you will see the Main Menu. When you make a
- selection from the Main Menu you will see submenus that will help
- you operate PSP. Messages will appear at the bottom of screens to
- suggest the next step. The ESCAPE key will generally take you back
- one step and the F1 key is used to proceed after a processing error
- has been detected.
-
- You may want to set up a separate printer for your labels and COD
- Tags to avoid changing paper. You may select up to 3 printers LPT1,
- LPT2, LPT3 in the Housekeeping section (Main Menu #4, Submenu #6)
- or attach A/B switches.
-
-
- Initial Data Entry
- ------------------
-
- When you first start PSP you must set up your company data (#4
- Housekeeping, #1 Add/Edit Company Data.)
-
- Next check to see if the label default (2 15/16" x 4") is
- satisfactory. If not make your own selection (#4 Housekeeping, #2
- Add/Edit Shipping Label Format).
-
- Then Enter your Zone Chart (#4, #4)
-
- Review the UPS Rates (#4, #3)
-
- Review UPS service charges (#4, #5)
-
- Finally select printer ports or accept default LPT1 (#4, #6)
-
-
- Shipping Address Processing (#3 on Main Menu)
- ---------------------------------------------
-
- PSP comes with several shipping addresses already on file to assist
- in getting local UPS approval (see below). You may delete these
- names after PSP is approved. EHI also has available a utility to
- down load an ASCII Address file to PSP. Call EHI for more
- information about the Utility.

-
- ================================
- How to Obtain Local UPS Approval
- ================================
-
- Although PSP has been thoroughly examined and approved by the UPS
- National office, your local office must also give its approval
- before you can use PSP in your facility.
-
- To obtain local approval, you must meet with your UPS
- representative and request approval to install the Parcel Shipping
- Program, which UPS refers to as a "Host Computer System".
-
- Complete these steps before the UPS representative arrives at your
- company:
-
- 1) Enter your Company name, address and UPS Pickup Record Number
- (Housekeeping Menu, #1).
-
- 2) Set up your Zone Chart (Housekeeping Menu, #4) and print out a
- copy for UPS.
-
- 3) Review and print out copies of all the Rate Charts (Housekeeping
- Menu, #3). Be sure to print out only those international zones
- that are valid in your area.
-
- 4) Set up a label format (Housekeeping Menu, #2).
-
- 5) Enter the 28 shipping transactions shown on the Chart of
- Transactions for UPS Approval below (Main Menu, #1).
- These 28 transactions include shipments to almost all the UPS zones
- and were used to obtain National UPS approval for PSP. Your rep may
- also ask you for several international transactions which you may
- add to the 28 listed below. The Shipping Address File has
- 15 pre-entered shipping addresses (Customer Numbers 1
- through 15), so you can easily enter these transactions and create
- the reports you need for the approval process. You may delete these
- addresses after you receive approval.
-
- 6) Print the Manifest and Summary Reports (Reports Menu, #1).
- The manifest will be 9 pages long and list over 100 individual packages.
- The summaries are one page each.
-
- 7) Print the first 10 of the shipping labels (Reports Menu, #2).
- You do not need to print all 103 labels.
-
- 8) Print the 2 COD Tags on plain paper (UPS will supply you with
- the required continuous forms when your approved).
-
- Your UPS representative will fill out a form and submit it along
- with your printouts and labels for local approval.
-
- After you receive UPS approval, your representative will supply
- you with a "Pickup Record - Computer Manifest Book" and show you
- how to fill it out and what to submit each day to your driver. The
- second summary printed when you print the Manifest contains all the
- information you need to manually fill out your Pickup Record page.
-
- If you encounter any difficulties with the local UPS approval
- process, please call EHI, toll free, at 1-800-645-1188.

- The transaction line area on the screen has room for ten trans-
- actions. When there are ten or more transactions, the top lines
- will scroll up, disappearing from view, and new lines will
- appear on the bottom as you complete lines.
-
- You can scroll the lines in the transaction line area by using
- the [UP ARROW] and [DOWN ARROW] keys.

- and Zone, provided the Zip Code is also on file.
-
- Temporary Addresses
- If you press [ENTER], the system will assign a temporary number of
- the form * nnn, and you will be prompted to set up the address.
- These temporary addresses can be deleted the next time you enter
- this section of the program.
-
- If you make a data entry error, you may assign another temporary
- address to a transaction line by blanking out the temporary number.
- PSP will then allow you to set up a new temporary address for the

- 2. Reports
- ----------
-
- 1) Print UPS Manifest and Summary Reports
-
- When you access this menu, you can print the Computer Manifest,
- the Computer Summary, and a second Summary listing all information
- necessary to fill out the Pickup Record-Computer Manifest page.
-
- You may have PSP print the UPS Computer Manifest in control number
- order by selecting 2 on the first screen. Otherwise the report is
- printed in the order in which you entered the transactions. Please
- note the UPS charges on this report are the shipping rate charges
- only.
-
- You may also choose to print the Summaries only by entering a Y
- when requested. The default is N; that is, both the Manifest and
- the two Summaries are normally printed.
-
- You may print multiple copies by entering the number of copies you
- want to print. The default is 2 copies, one for UPS and one for
- your files.
-
- 2) Print Shipping Labels
-
- We recommend that you set up a separate printer using an A/B switch
- or an additional port to print your shipping labels. The default
- label is a blank label 4" (or 4 1/4") by 2 15/16". You may select
- other label sizes or preprint your label. See instructions under
- Housekeeping (#2).
-
- 1) From UPS Manifest
-
- You may selectively print labels starting from the Shipping
- Transactions you specify. You would use this option to avoid
- printing labels you've already printed-for example, when you
- want to print transactions you've just added. You may also
- choose to print your labels without stopping to add additional
- information to each label.
-
- Labels for transactions requiring COD or Call Tag service will
- not be printed.
-
- As each label is printed, it is displayed on the screen.
- Follow the instructions at bottom of screen to process labels.
-
- 2) Entering All Information on Label
-
- After you select this option, a box will appear on the screen.
- You may then enter the data you want to have appear on a batch
- of shipping labels. Follow the instructions at the bottom of
- the screen to process the labels. All labels will be numbered.
-
- 3) From Shipping Address List
-
- By selecting this option, you may print all or a selected group
- of address labels from the Shipping Address List on a standard
- 3 1/2" x 15/16" label or on your own shipping label.
-
- -11-
-
-
-
- 3) Print COD Tags - optional
-
- A COD Tag may be printed for every package where a COD amount is
- entered on the Shipping Transaction. Please note that the COD
- amount is for each package, and the COD Tag serves as the shipping
- label. If you ship many COD packages, we recommend you set up a
- separate printer for your COD Tags.
-
- You may, however, use the COD screen to obtain the Reference
- Number, COD Amount, and Shipping Address and type the COD Tags
- manually.
-
- Before you print each tag, you will be prompted to enter any
- special instructions to appear on the tag.
-
- At this time you may also elect to change the "Cash Only" code.
-
- 4) Print Billing Report
-
- The Billing Report is similar to the UPS Computer Manifest produced
- in Section 1 above. A line on the Billing Report corresponds to a
- line on the Shipping Transaction screen while the Manifest Report
- lists each package shipped. Also the UPS charges on the Billing
- Report includes all UPS charges (CODs, AOD charges, etc.). In
- addition, the Billing Report will compute sub-totals by Control
- Number for the same Control Number entered consecutively. This
- report is useful for reconciling your UPS bill and for keeping
- track of shipping charges by Control Number.
-
- 5) Print Shipping Addresses
-
- By selecting this option, you may print all or a selected group of
- Shipping Addresses for reference purposes. This report helps you
- to maintain your Shipping Address List.

- 3. Shipping Address Processing
- ------------------------------
-
- The screens in this section are all very similar to each other.
- Titles at the top of the data entry screens will remind you of
- which selection you have made.
-
- 1) Add Shipping Addresses
-
- You will be prompted by the Shipping Address data entry
- screen to set up a Customer Number. You may use any alpha-
- numeric characters for Customer Number, but PSP will ignore
- leading and trailing blanks.
-
- You may use the Reports Menu to print the customer list in
- Abbreviated Name or Customer Number order.
-
- When you use the Credit Code for a customer on the Shipping
- Address screen, PSP will prompt you to enter COD amounts
- when you enter shipping transactions for the customer and
- will indicate cash collections on the customer's COD Tags.
-
- The number of Shipping Addresses you may enter is limited
- only by disk space:
- Hard disk drive - 4,000 addresses per Megabyte
-
- 2) Modify Shipping Addresses
-
- You must know the Customer Number to modify the Shipping
- Address Information. Enter the number and the information will
- appear. Press [ENTER] to reach the field(s) you wish to modify.
-
- 3) Shipping Address Inquiry
-
- Shipping Address Information can be viewed by entering the
- Customer Number. By pressing [ENTER], you can scan the entire
- list.
-
- 4) Delete Shipping Addresses
-
- You may delete a Shipping Address by entering the Customer
- Number as long as no shipping transactions are still entered
- in the Shipping Transaction file. Use [DELETE] on the Shipping
- Transaction screen to purge the transactions. This should be
- done at the beginning of each new shipping day or after the
- shipment has been picked up by UPS.
-
-
-
-
-
- -13-
-
-
-
- 4. Housekeeping
- ---------------
-
- 1) Add/Edit Company Data
-
- When you first receive the PSP system, enter your company name and
- address, Zip Code, and UPS Shipper Number.
-
- The address information you enter will appear on all your reports
- and shipping labels.
-
- If you want to have the UPS charges added to your COD amounts,
- enter Y to the next question on this screen. The UPS charges will
- then be added to the COD amounts on the COD Tags and the Manifest
- Report. The default is N.
-
- The next to last entry allows you to specify
- the default letters C or R for Commercial or Residential shipments
- or D or S for GroundTrac Commercial or Residential on the Transaction Screen.
-
- If you wish to add a handling charge to you UPS shipping charge. Then
- enter a dollar amount and/or a percent. If you make either of these
- entries PSP will calculate
- Charges = UPS Charges + Dollar Amount + Percent x UPS Charges
- and this amount will appear on the transaction screen and the
- Billing Report. The UPS Manifest will show the UPS Charges as
- required by UPS.
- If you leave these entries blank or zero then UPS charges will
- appear on the transaction screen.
-
-
- 2) Add/Edit Shipping Label Format
-
- PSP prints a UPS approved shipping label with a ship to address or
- a tab label (3 1/2" x 15/16") which will contain only your UPS
- Shipper Number, Pkg. ID, Zone and Wt on a label. Select option 1
- for complete label and 2 for the tab label.
-
- PSP supports the following label sizes:
-
- 4" or (4 1/4") x 2 15/16" (default)
- 5" x 2 15/16"
- 4" x 2 7/16"
- 5" X 2 7/16"
-
- You may preprint your labels with your return address and a box

- Shareware License
- =================
-
- Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software
- before buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue
- using it, you are expected to register. Individual programs
- differ on details -- some request registration while others
- require it, some specify a maximum trial period. With
- registration, you get anything from the simple right to continue
- using the software to an updated program with printed manual.
-
- Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software,
- and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific
- exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished
- programmers, just like commercial authors, and the programs are
- of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are good programs
- and bad ones!) The main difference is in the method of
- distribution. The author specifically grants the right to copy
- and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a
- specific group. For example, some authors require written
- permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their
- Shareware.
-
- Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You
- should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook,
- whether it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes
- fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy.
- And because the overhead is low, prices are low also. Shareware
- has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the
- product, you don't pay for it.
-
- Disclaimer-
-
- Users of PSP must accept this disclaimer of warranty:
- PSP is supplied as is. The author disclaims all
- warranties, expressed or implied, including, without limitation,
- the warranties of merchantability and of fitness for any purpose.
- The author assumes no liability for damages, direct or conse-
- quential, which may result from the use of PSP."
-
- PSP is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge
- to the user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your
- friends, but please do not give it away altered or as part of
- another system. The essence of "user-supported" software is to
- provide personal computer users with quality software without
- high prices, and yet to provide incentive for programmers to
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- - 16 -
-
-
- continue to develop new products. If you find this program
- useful and find that you are using PSP and continue to use
- PSP after a reasonable trial period, you must make a reg-
- istration payment of $125.00 to EHI. The $125.00
- registration fee will license one copy for use on any one
- computer at any one time. You must treat this software just like
- a book. An example is that this software may be used by any
- number of people and may be freely moved from one computer
- location to another, so long as there is no possibility of it
- being used at one location while it's being used at another.
- Just as a book cannot be read by two different persons at the
- same time.
-
- Commercial users of PSP must register and pay for their
- copies of PSP within 30 days of first use or their license
- is withdrawn. Site-License arrangements may be made by con-
- tacting EHI.
-
- Anyone distributing PSP for any kind of remuneration must
- first contact EHI at the address below for authorization.
- This authorization will be automatically granted to distributors
- recognized by the (ASP) as adhering to its guidelines for
- shareware distributors, and such distributors may begin offering
- PSP immediately (However EHI must still be advised so
- that the distributor can be kept up-to-date with the latest
- version of PSP.).
-
- You are encouraged to pass a copy of PSP along to your
- friends for evaluation. Please encourage them to register their
- copy if they find that they can use it. All registered users
- will receive a copy of the latest version of the PSP
- system.

- member directly, ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can
- help you resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but
- does not provide technical support for members' products. Please
