Provided and maintained by Varsity, the Infor XA Interface seamlessly exchanges shipment and order data between Infor XA (formerly MAPICS) and Varsity ShipSoft and ShipPack.
Seamless Order Management and Shipping
By tightly integrating Infor XA with ShipSoft and ShipPack, Varsity’s Infor XA Interface enables seamless order processing from order entry through delivery. Shipment and order information is shared across the organization enabling:
- Rate shopping, selection of shipping options, and quotation of shipping rates at order entry
- Instant visibility to shipment status and simplified requests for proof of delivery
- Accurate shipping costs for invoicing and analysis
Adaptable Technology
 Varsity’s Infor XA Interface uses flexible exit points and an externally described parameter list, or P-List, to map data elements from Infor XA into ShipSoft (or ShipPack) and to return tresults back to Infor XA. The primary Infor XA files used for the interface are MBCLRESO, MBC6RES3, and MBCNRESA. Varsity pulls required shipment data such as the pick number, quantity, and ship-to address directly from the Infor XA database. It then passes back shipping details including the tracking number, package ID, weight, and freight charges, which can be used to update any file in Infor XA. Designed for flexibility, this data exchange method can be tailored to support virtually any supply chain process.
The Infor XA Interface can be called at any time to initiate order processing in ShipSoft. The interface allows “invisible” processing of orders, without requiring additional user input or screens. A “visible” mode is also availablewhere ShipSoft screens are populated with InfXA data and shipments are managed directly from ShipSoft
The Varsity and Infor XA systems both reside on the System i platform, resulting in superior speed, throughput, and reliability.
