With the Future Date Processing feature, you can process a shipment with a collection date up to 183 calendar days in the future. Your UPS driver collects your shipment or package on that date.
Future Date Processing slightly changes the way you process and transmit shipping information. These changes include:
Collection Date Mode - Use the System Preferences Editor to turn on Future Date Processing. See Set Shipping System Preferences..
Active Collection Date - Select an active collection date on which your shipments are grouped in the Shipment History window. You must select this date each time you start UPS WorldShip and each time you run End of Day. The active collection date always appears on the title bar at the top of the Shipping and Shipment History windows. See Select an Active Collection Date.
Process Shipments - As you process shipments, they are listed under Pending Collection by the active collection date in the Shipment History window. To begin processing shipments for a different day, select Collection Information and then Select Active Collection Date on the Home tab and select another active collection date. See Select an Active Collection Date.
End of Day Process - Select the Pending Collection group for the End of Day process. After running End of Day, select an active collection date for your next group of shipments. See Run End of Day Process (Future Date Processing On).
Note: If you need to change the collection date for a group or an individual shipment, see Change the Collection Date in the Shipment History Window.
