Using a customer's UPS account number in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) Shipping Manager isn't advisable, Vincenzo.

 

QBDT requires users to have their own shipping accounts for processing shipments. This is because when you first access the QuickBooks Shipping Manager and select UPS, you'll get prompted to configure the service. Then, you enter the "Ship From" address and UPS account number only once. 

 

If you don't have an account yet and use your customer's UPS account number, then this will be saved and used for your future shipments. 

 

For more details about setting up and utilizing the new Shipping Manager, refer to this article: New Shipping Manager in QBDT.

Some customers will not pay for shipping charges unless we use their UPS account number. As a result, we will now need to generate our invoice and prepare a shipment label outside of QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) before finalizing the invoice back in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

This is not making our lives easier, and I now wish that the shipping manager had never been updated. 

 

A big thumbs down on the new and "improved" Shipping Manager!
