Each child shipment must be associated with (or assigned to) a consolidated movement before the child shipment can be processed. This association can occur in one of two ways:
Process a child shipment and then select the consolidated movement you want to associate with the child shipment. See Process UPS Small Package Child Shipments or Process LTL/TL Child Shipments.
Select the consolidated movement you want to associate with a child shipment before you process the child shipment. See the instructions below.
To select the consolidated movement before you process a child shipment:
On the Activities menu, click Trade Direct Manager. The UPS Trade Direct Manager window appears.
Do one of the following:
If the desired open consolidated movement does not appear in the list, enter a new movement. See Enter Consolidated Movements.
If the desired open consolidated movement appears in the list, select the consolidated movement from the list.
Click the Select Movement button. The Select Consolidated Movement window appears.
Read about the association
between child shipments and consolidated movements and click the OK button.
