Use this program to create, maintain and view the UPS weight tables (if applicable). If UPS charges are not to be implemented into the freight, then this program may be skipped.
The weights table chart is given to the user by UPS. The user is responsible for creating and maintaining the UPS weight tables with this program by entering the charge assigned by UPS for the selected zone and displayed weight. The weight tables should be entered directly from the UPS weights table. Charges for air letters are also entered in this program.
FACTS ships with the weights and zones for the 48 contiguous states current as of February 8, 1999. Users outside the 48 contiguous states must enter the rates that apply to them.
Use the following inputs to create and maintain the UPS weight table:
1. UPS Zone
Enter the UPS zone (up to 3 characters).
2. Ground Delivery Type
Enter whether this delivery is a C-commercial or R-residential UPS ground delivery. UPS charges different rates for commercial and residential deliveries. Press Enter (CR) to initially default to C.
Weight Table 1 tab
If applicable for the zone selected, enter the charges (0-999.99) for an air letter as well as packages weighing from 1 to 24 pounds.
NOTE: To make costs entries easy, the user can enter the cents amount only and the dollar amount from the previous entry will be added to the cents. For example, if the user wants to enter a cost of $16.75 in entry 71 and the cost in entry 70 is $16.45, the user can just enter .75 and $16.75 will appear in entry 71.
