The UPS Zone F/M program allows you to create and maintain the UPS zones (if applicable) by warehouse location. The UPS zone determines the cost of shipping a package from the warehouse to the desired location. You can skip this program if you use the Clippership software package or if you do not include UPS charges in the freight.
To create zones in this program, enter the beginning and ending zip code (first three characters) and the zone for the codes as assigned by UPS. The zones should be entered directly from the zone chart provided by UPS.
Entries are only applicable for ground and 2nd day air zones in the domestic United States (2-8, 12, 14, 15, 16). A note displays at the bottom of the screen indicating the proper setup for Alaska, rural Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
Use the following inputs to create UPS zones:
1. Warehouse
Enter the warehouse code for the UPS zone. The entry must be a valid warehouse. Press Enter (CR) to default to the warehouse assigned to the terminal.
2. Beginning Zip
Enter the first three digits of the beginning zip code (001-999). Press Enter (CR) to initially default to 000.
3. Ending Zip
Enter the first three digits of the ending zip code (001-999). It must be greater than the beginning zip. Encompassing ranges or zip code prefixes in other ranges is not allowed.
4. Zone
Enter the UPS zone for the range of zip codes entered in inputs #2 and #3 (2-8, 12, 14, 15, 16). Zip codes are not used by the system to determine charts for zones outside the USA
