Parcel carrier adapters integration details

Generally, carriers are integrated with the Parcel Carrier Adapters when manifesting.

During manifest, the Sterling™ Order Management System Software integrates with a carrier as follows:

  1. Sterling Order Management System Software checks if carrier integration is required or not based on the configuration present in YFS_SCAC and YFS_SCAC_EX tables. If carrier integration is required, the Sterling Order Management System Software invokes the relevant Sterling Parcel Carrier Adapter.
  2. The input and output XMLs passed between the carrier's server and the Parcel Carrier Adapters may change based on the API being invoked by Sterling Order Management System Software. The Parcel Carrier Adapters create input data needed for these XMLs based on the mapping details provided in Table 1, and sends it to the carrier's server.
    Note: Note that the openManifest API does not support any carrier integration.
