The AgileElite shipment server provides the ShipRequest transaction for manifesting a package. Apart from manifesting the package, this transaction also returns the tracking number, rating details, and prints the labels. This transaction accepts the details pertaining to the Shipper, Carrier and Service, Consignee, Package, and Special Services as inputs.
When manifesting a package, a carrier label is generated for the package. Return labels can also be generated for the package if the package contains returnable items, and the carrier service used to manifest allows returns. The returns functionality is available for both FedEx and UPSN carriers that use the Sterling Pierbridge Adaptor.
The Sterling Pierbridge Adaptor transforms the input XML to the AgileElite shipment server’s requirements based on the configurations present in the YCS_PLD_DETAIL table.
