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