Anyone looking to get a shipping quote and print labels directly from the ERP Software ?
That will make life much easier for sales people taking orders and calculating shipping costs.

Whiteboard

These features must be extendable : probably it needs 1 generic addon + 1 specific addon per carrier.

There a 2 main aspects to this specification : getting shipping prices from the carriers, and connecting to the carrier's SI to send goods and track the deliveries.

Numerigraphe will probably have to get to this topic soon. The plan there is to integrate shippings via several carriers active in France (Exapaq, TFE, Schenker-Joyau, possibly La Poste).
All help is welcome.

UPS integration has been done, see http://sharoonthomas.blogspot.com/2010/06/open-erp-ups-integration.html
