World Ease®

UPS World Ease® is a contract service that groups several International shipments destined for one country or the entire European Union into a single consolidated shipment.

The World Ease® shipment clears customs as a single unit, minimizing documentation. Each shipment is accompanied by a "Doc Box," a small box containing the invoice documents associated with the World Ease® shipment. Detailed tracking information is provided for every package in the shipment. The consolidated shipment is referred to as the master shipment. The multiple shipments that are part of the master shipment are referred to as child shipments. ShipGear can import the World Ease®  flag with your source document, streamlining the process of creating child and master shipments.

Note: UPS World Ease is available only if you have a contract for this service.

Mapping the World Ease® check box

ShipGear can set a default value for the World Ease check box in WorldShip® so that when you load a child World Ease shipment into the Shipping window :

a) you are automatically prompted to create the master shipment;

b) the child info you're initially loading will populate the Shipment, Importer Address, and International Documents sections of the master shipment wizard.  

Follow these instructions to map the World Ease check box :

1. Click the Customize Interface button and select a document under your interface.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
2. With the Target set to UPS OnLine WorldShip®, select the Service input field and then select World Ease.
   
   The Source field can be mapped to a field in the source ERP system that contains the World Ease value or set to a Fixed Value of Selected (checked in WorldShip®) or not Selected (unchecked in WorldShip®).
