Shipment Tracking URL

If you want to track packages for the shipper via a Website other than the default Website for the Standard Carrier Alpha Code (SCAC), enter the URL of the Website. The URL can include the following special values:

• [num-packages] = the number of packages for the pick demand; integer value

• [package-track-num] = the tracking numbers of all the packages for the pick demand, each separated by %0D%0A; character

• [ship-to-zip] = the postal code of the ship-to address  from the sales order; character

• [pick-ticket-weight] = the sum of the weight of packages on the pick demand; decimal value

• [origin-postal-code] = the postal code from the ship-to location; character

Example A website for tracking packages to Shipper X is http://www.trackingsite.com. If you enter http://www.trackingsite.com/[package-track-num], and a pick demand had three packages numbered 12345, 12346, and 12347, tracking packages for the pick demand displays http://www.trackingsite.com/12345"%0D%0A12346"%0D%0A12347.

The shipper's tracking URL can be determined by going to their website and using their tracking functionality with an existing package. When you are viewing the tracking webpage for the package, you can copy that URL and paste it in this field, and then substitute the hardcoded package information with the parameters listed above.
