Using Shipment Items (Shipping Tab in Order Entry)
# In Control, a shipment item is created in the Shipping Tab and the shipping information is filled in and saved.
# In UPS Worldship, the shipment information is pulled from Control's database using the ShipperInfoForShipments view. The Look up Value must be the shipment number (Ex: 1234-SAA).
# Once the shipment is processed, UPS Worldship updates the UPSShippingLogForShipments table with the processed information. The database trigger UpdateUPSShipment is automatically fired after this update.
# The database trigger UpdateUPSShipment updates the shipment field values (stored in the Shipments table). View the table below for the the fields that are updated.
# In Control, the order is opened and displays the changes made to the shipments.

UPS Worldship updates the database directly and since there is no method to inform Control of the change, the order will not reflect the change if it is currently being displayed during the UPS Worldship processing. The display of the order must be closed and reopened for the changes to reflect.**
