Provides up-to-the-minute status reports of shipments, domestic and international, from origin to delivery.
Syntax
DPayments.DShippingSDK.Upstrack
Remarks
For a given UPS tracking or reference number, this tool identifies the package(s) and provides detailed information about each package, including the current shipping status and the time and location of each scan while in transit. Track component supports tracking by tracking number, shipment identification number, or reference number. Using this component, you can find out up-to-the-minute specific details on shipping status, including the time and location of each scan as the package moves toward its final destination. And, this tracking information can be displayed in a customized format.
This component provides several levels of information depending on the request:
- When tracking a package using a UPS tracking number as the request parameter, this component returns information such as current delivery status, including the time and location of the latest transit scan.
- When tracking a package using a reference number, this component returns information appropriate to the request. The request parameters are the reference number plus at least one of the following optional qualifiers: shipper number, pickup date range, destination postal code and/or destination country.
This component can return several kinds of initial responses:
- Multi-Piece summary - When multiple packages from a single shipment match the request, the delivered response contains the UPS tracking number, pickup date, delivery date and time (for delivery packages only), location where each package was left if the consignee was not available, UPS shipping service and total shipment weight.
- Package Detail - When a single package matches the request, the response contains the package weight, consignee city, state and country, the date, time and location of the latest scan while in transit, current delivery status and the name of the person who signed for the package.
- Package Progress - Lists the date, time, location, and status of each scan of the package during transit, from the point of origin to the current location.
You can request the multi-piece or package detail response as well as package progress information after you receive the initial response.
Multi-piece summary and package progress requests use the information in a package detail response to retrieve additional information about the package. For example, the component returns information regarding the shipment from a multi-piece summary request. It would also return the date, time, and status of every scan for the package from a package progress request.
When the TrackShipment method call of this component returns a response, it will either return a successful response document or an error document. An error may be returned at the top (response) level if there is a problem with the syntax of the request, or if a system error occurs.
In any of the above scenarios, if there is a problem with a specific identifier within the request, the response will raise an error that pertains to the specific identifier.
For more details on errors codes and descriptions, please refer to the Error Codes section.
This component limits the data requested to ten (10) packages per transaction.
