Odoo UPS Integration

UPS is a global carrier widely used for parcel shipping. Running UPS separately from Odoo creates the usual rekeying of weights, addresses and tracking numbers.

Odoo provides a native UPS connector, available in the Enterprise edition, that rates, labels and tracks UPS shipments from the delivery order. On Community the same needs a third-party app or a custom build.

The native connector calls the UPS API in real time.

• Odoo to UPS: rate and shipment requests with weight, dimensions and addresses.
• UPS to Odoo: rate quotes, labels and tracking numbers.

• Edition. The native connector is an Enterprise feature.
• UPS account. A UPS account with API access and an agreed rate set is required.
• Service mapping. UPS service levels must map to Odoo delivery methods.
• Product data. Accurate weight and dimensions are needed for correct rates.
• Negotiated rates. Account-specific rates must be enabled to quote correctly.
