==================================
Changes to PSP since Version 1.0
==================================
1. Version 4.1 released 4/01/93
A major improvement to handling shippping addresses has been added.
When entering the customer number for a transaction you may select the
customer number by pressing F10. A window will appear showing your
shipping addresses. Use the up and down arrow keys, PgUp, PgDn, Home,
End, to search for your address. You may also enter a letter to move
to that section of your list. Press Enter to select the Customer Number.
Please note the list is sorted by the abbreviated name.
This feature is also available in Shipping Address Processing.
The PgUp, PgDn, Home, End keys are activated on the transaction screen.
2. Version 4.0 incorporates new rates and features:
Effective 2/15/93 new rate tables are added for:
Ground Service Rates for Commercial and Residential
Next Day, 2nd Day, Air Letters
Call Tag and COD Charges are been increased
Oversized packages are now computed as 30 lb packages
A new zone 26 for rural Alaska is added
A new 3Day service with Zones 32 thru 38 has been added
These zones are not automatically looked up by PSP. To determine
these zones take the ground zones 2 thru 8 (provided automatically
by PSP) add 30 to the zone. For example if PSP returns a zone 7
for a shipment and you wish to send it 3-Day then enter the zone 37.
A new Zone has been added for Mexico.
We have added a feature to add a handling charge to UPS charges.
The Add/Edit Company Data section in Housekeeping will allow you
to enter a dollar amount and a percent. If you make either of these
entries PSP will calculate
Charges = UPS Charges + Dollar Amount + Percent x UPS Charges
This amount will appear on the transaction screen and the
Billing Report. The UPS Manifest Reports will show the UPS Charges as
required by UPS.
If you leave these entries blank or zero then UPS charges will
appear on the transaction screen.
An additional feature was added to the Print Labels, Enter All Information
on Label selection (#2,#2). You may now select a shipping address to appear
on the label.
3. On Sept 1,1992 two new modules were added to PSP:
Import transactions from an ASCII disk file-
You may import ASCII shipping transactions from a disk
file located anywhere on your hard disk. This module
is sold separately from the standard PSP. When
you purchase the module you will receive the format
of the ASCII file and instructions on how to operate
this feature. You may use this feature to send shipping
transactions from an accounting system to PSP.
Import shipping addresses from an ASCII disk file-
You may import ASCII shipping addresses from a disk
file located anywhere on your hard disk. This module
is sold separately from the standard PSP. When
you purchase the module you will receive the format
of the ASCII file and instructions on how to operate
this feature. You may use this feature to convert
your shipping addresses to the PSP Shipping Address
File (NAME.UPS)
(Version 3.1 Revised 9/1/92)
4. On July 1,1992 two new modules were added to PSP:
PIP Module - This module will be of great interest to you
if you insure many of your packages each month.
Please contact us for more information.
GroundSaver Module - If you are in a designated UPS GroundSaver
zone and you ship 250 packages per month you probably
qualify for a substantial discount from UPS. Contact
your UPS rep to learn more about this discount. If
you qualify then contact us to purchase
this module.
Also added was support for a HP Laser compatible printer for printing
of the Manifest. Enter code 60 in the Housekeeping/Company Data section.
Also added is a feature to add a fixed dollar amount and a percent of
the shipping charge to the shipping charge on the BIlling Report. This
was requested from many companies that add a charge to the UPS charges.
(Versiion 3.0 Revised 7/1/92)
5. On June 1,1992 UPS introduced a new tracing service called GroundTrac.
To accomodate this new service two new rate charts(5,6) have been added.
If you want to use GrounTrac for a commercial shipment then enter a D
rather than a C in the C/R column. If you want to use GrounTrac for a
residential shipment then enter a S rather than an R. PSP wil select the
correct rate from the two new rate tables. A message at the bottom
of the screen will remind you of these codes when you first enter a
transaction. (Versiion 2.5 Revised 6/1/92)
6. On Feb. 24,1992 UPS increased rates for domestic ground and air service,
introduced 2nd day air letter service, Canadian zone 54 was added,
Canadian rates increased, and AOD service was cancelled. In addition
international sevices have been greatly expanded.
Version 2.4 incorporatres all these changes.
UPS will no longer give approval to any "Host System" that allows rate
changes. For this reason you will no longer be able to change any rate
tables with PSP. (Version 2.4 Revised 2/24/92)
7. Two new label formats introduced. See Housekeeping section 2. If you
enter 3 as the label type code PSP will produce a label 4" X 3 15/16"
with the entire label printed in normal size type (ie. condensed type not
used) and the UPS Shipper No. box will be larger. If you enter 4 then
the label will be 5" X 3 15/16 (Version 2.3 Revised 3/28/91)
8. On Feb 18,1991 UPS introduced separate rate schedules for Commercial
and Residential shipments. They also introduced zones 88,92,98,99 and
new rates for Canada and International Air.
Version 2.2 incorporates all these changes.
The transaction screen has a new column for you to enter C for a comm-
ercial shipment and R for a Residential Shipment. PSP will look up the
charges from the correct rate schedule. A default R or C will appear.
You may enter this default letter in the Housekeeping Section under
Add/Edit Company Data.

on the transaction screen by pressing F8 and entering the control

printers to your PC you may now assign them within PSP. A new
option 6 is available in the Housekeeping Section which will
allow you to assign your parallel printers to LPT1,LPT2,or LPT3.
Version 1.27,12/13/89
12. A new label option is present in Version 1.26. You may produce
a label that contains only your UPS Shipper number and Package
ID number on a small 3 1/2" x 15/16" label. This feature is for
customers who already produce their shipper address labels in
other systems. The option can be activated by selecting Housekeep-
ing and then #2 Add/Edit Label Format. Version 1.26,12/6/89
13. When your COD's are greater than $100. you may select an option
to have your Declared Value made equal to your COD and automati-
