United Parcel Services (UPS) Integration with SAP Business One

United Parcel Services (UPS) Integration with SAP Business One

United Parcel Service is a package delivery company. The company is a provider of global supply chain management solutions. UPS operates through three segments: U.S. Domestic Package operations, International Package operations and Supply Chain & Freight operations.

The UPS Connector is equipped with robust support for the OAuth 2.0 security model, ensuring secure and reliable authentication processes. OAuth 2.0 enhances security by enabling delegated access without exposing credentials and safeguarding sensitive information during system interactions. 

By integrating OAuth 2.0, the UPS Connector ensures compliance with modern security standards while providing seamless connectivity and data exchange capabilities for users and businesses. 

The following APIs in the UPS account need to be permitted:

​ 

1.    Authorization (OAuth): Create an authorization token for your application to utilize UPS APIs. This API product is required for all integrations.

2.    Address Validation: Validates addresses at the street level in the United States and Puerto Rico.

3.    Rating: Compare delivery services and shipping rates to determine the best option.

4.    Shipping: Prepare your package for shipment, manage returns, and cancel scheduled shipments.

For more information about the API permission, go to “My Apps” in the UPS account.

The integration of United Parcel Service and SAP Business One achieve the following objectives:
  1. Business Partner Address Validation. 
  2. Freight Rates. 
  3. Shipment Tracking Number.

 Note
The key-based authentication mechanism for UPS is no longer supported from Intercompany Integration Solutions version 52 onwards.
