NAME

Shipment::UPS - Interface to UPS Shipping Web Services

ABOUT

This class provides an interface to the UPS Online Tools. You must sign up for a developer access key in order to make use of this module.

https://www.ups.com/upsdeveloperkit

It is an extension of Shipment::Base.

It makes extensive use of SOAP::WSDL in order to create/decode xml requests and responses. The Shipment::UPS::WSDL interface was created primarily using the wsdl2perl.pl script from SOAP::WSDL.

Class Attributes

username, password, key

Credentials required to access UPS Online Tools.

proxy_domain

This determines whether you will use the UPS Customer Integration Environment (for development) or the production (live) environment * wwwcie.ups.com (development) * onlinetools.ups.com (production)

negotiated_rates

Turn negotiated rates on or off.

The Shipper Account/UserID used must be qualified to receive negotiated rates. You will most likely need to contact UPS to have set this up.

If the Shipper Account/UserID is not qualified, the published rates will be used instead and a notice set.

Default is off.

residential_address

Flag the ship to address as residential.

Default is false.

address_validation

Turn address validation on or off. When on, ship will fail if the address does not pass UPS address validation

Default is on.

label_height

The label height. Can be either 6" or 8". The label width is fixed at 4".

control_log_receipt

In certain cases (i.e. for shipments with declared value over $999), UPS will return a control log receipt which must be printed off along with the label.

type: Shipment::Label

carbon_neutral

Set the Carbon Neutral Indicator - http://www.ups.com/content/us/en/resources/ship/carbonneutral/shipping.html

type: Bool

Type Maps

service_map

UPS returns service codes without descriptions. This is mapped here so that we can display 'UPS Ground' instead of '03'.

Shipment::Base type maps

Shipment::Base provides abstract types which need to be mapped to UPS codes (i.e. bill_type of "sender" maps to UPS "BillShipper")

custom package types

UPS provides package types in addition to the defaults in Shipment::Base * 25kg_box * 10kg_box * pallet * small_express_box * medium_express_box * large_express_box

custom printer types

UPS does not offer a pdf option for labels, so the default printer type is image (gif).

UPS does offer additional thermal options: * ZPL * SPL * STARPL

default currency

The default currency is USD

Class Methods

_build_services

This calls ProcessRate from the Rating API with RequestOption => 'Shop'

Each RatedShipment that is returned is added to services

The following service mapping is used: * ground => 03 (UPS Ground) or 11 (UPS Standard) * express => 02 (UPS Second Day Air) * priority => 01 (UPS Next Day Air)

This method ignores what is in $self->packages and uses a single package weighing 1 pound for rating. The idea is to list what services are available, but for accurate rate comparisons, the rate method should be used.

rate

This calls ProcessRate from the Rating API with RequestOption => 'Rate'

ship

This method calls ProcessShipment from the Shipping API

return

This method calls ProcessShipment from the Shipping API with ReturnService => Code => 9 which provides the return label to be printed off.

This method has only been implemented for the purpose of obtaining certification with UPS. It has not been fully tested and does not offer some core options (such as the ability to email the return label).

It assumes that you are first creating an outgoing shipment and creating the return shipment at the same time. Because of this, it uses the "to_address" as the origin and the "from_address" as the destination.

cancel

This method calls ProcessVoid from the Shipping API

It uses $self->tracking_id for the shipment identification number in order to void a single package shipment.

It will use all package tracking id's to void one or more packages within a multi-package shipment.

returns "Voided" if successful
