NetSuite WMS Shipping Integration Setup

NetSuite WMS Shipping Integration provides a connection between NetSuite and your parcel carrier shipping software. This connection enables you to automate some of your outbound processing tasks to streamline the shipping process.

NetSuite WMS integrates with the following parcel carriers:

FedEx
UPS

NetSuite WMS Shipping Integration uses the NetSuite WMS Printer Driver and Carrier Integrator application to automatically:

Pull shipping data from WMS Ship Manifest records and push them to your carrier shipping software.
Generate shipping labels for each carton packed using NetSuite WMS.
Send shipping label print requests to printers in your warehouse.
Pull tracking number information from your carrier shipping software and push it to WMS Ship Manifest records.

Install the NSWMS Printer Driver application on the same computer in your warehouse’s shipping station you use to run your parcel carrier’s shipping software. As you pack items in the warehouse, the application runs a scheduled task to find all orders that are ready to be shipped. The application uses information stored in the WMS Ship Manifest record to create shipping labels, and prints them at the printer you configure in the application.
