In Posted packages when I click function->track package it just brings me to the ups screen when I have to copy & paste the tracking number in & then go forward. Can it be changed to automatically find the package & give me info without copying & pasting like: http://wwwapps.ups.com/WebTracking/processRequest?HTMLVersion=5.0&Requester=NES&AgreeToTermsAndConditions=yes&loc=en_US&tracknum=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX. With starting with hyperlink & ending in External Document No. Since the tracknum is listed on the package card can’t it just be inserted and the end of this command automatically? Up to this point I have tried & failed at making this happen. any suggestions? Thanks!
Take a look at how your Shipping Agent table is configured. The field called Internet Address is responsible for the Package Tracking functionality. Taken from the online help for this field: Internet Address Field The Shipping Agent Table Here you can enter an Internet address for the shipping agent. You can enter a maximum of 250 characters, both numbers and letters. An example of the address could be: http://www.dhl.com/track/track.post-track?awb=%1&origin=United Kingdom If you have integrated Navision with the Internet, Navision will use this information when you use the Track Package function on a posted shipment. Navision will substitute %1 with the contents of the Package Tracking No. field on the shipment header. Then the program will open the shipping agent's Internet site and begin a search for the relevant package. So, in your case, you will just need to paste the URL string you posted above but replacing XXX for %1.
Hi HR If you are using package labels, and barcode scanners, you can scan the package ID directly into the package field when the goods are shipped, thus autom populating everything, if you follow the advice on hte shipping agents URL. (I was unsure if you wanted everything and it was not really clear if the package ID is actually in Navision from your post [:)]).
Nelson it worked like a charm…thanks!
