Shipping Manager Print Two reference numbers on UPS Shipping Label

Thank you for sharing the details, Edward.

Allow me to share with you some information about QuickBooks Desktop Shipping Manager.

At this time, shipping with UPS only allows you to print one reference number. As a workaround, you can either add the second reference number manually (on any available field Note/ Description).

I can see the importance of adding/printing two distinct numbers on the UPS Shipping Label. I'll take note of the details and pass along the information to our product developers. Rest assured they're working nonstop to deliver the best experiences for all QuickBooks users.

To stay current with the latest QuickBooks news and feature enhancements, I recommend checking out our blog.

Moreover, I also recommend checking out the topics from these links to learn more about QuickBooks Shipping Manager:

• Intuit QuickBooks Shipping Manager
• Set up and use QuickBooks Shipping Manager

Please let me know in the comment section if you have any follow-up questions or concerns. I'm always here to help. Take care and enjoy the rest of the day!

Thank you Angelyn_T, I'll give it try.

The developer's forum seems to be more appropriate if I were creating my own add-on to Quickbooks, but I posted a question. The restriction of 255 characters is very little. This is what I posted: 

"The QB Shipping Manager only has a single "Reference" field, so there is a reference number that prints on the label that we cannot control and always prints a garbage string. How do I set two reference numbers for the shipping label?" 

The other links to shipping manager FAQ and setup instructions I've been pointed to repeatedly by support, but there is no mention at all of "Reference Numbers" so they are no help at all. I would like to hear in this question if anyone uses Shipping Manager to print their shipping labels for UPS, and if so, how many Reference numbers do you use. Is there a setting on UPS.com that helps? 

I have received nothing from the developer support. Please continue to find other avenues of support. This is a critical question, one which will determine whether we can use Shipping Manager in the long run.

Here is a link to my question on the developer's forum. No reply as yet.

I have the EXACT same problem!  Our production team relies on those TWO reference numbers.  I am going to abandon the QuickBooks / Intuit Shipping Manger and go back to UPS WorldShip where I can CONTROL the two reference numbers!! This is beyond frustrating!!

Did you ever get an ACTUAL answer to this? I just want to get rid of that Reference No. 1: UPS000000000000000000001 garbage, but can't seem to find a way to do that... It prints every time, even when I don't have ANYTHING typed into the reference field...

Thanks for joining this thread, Ckrieger.
 

I can certainly understand how an ability to remove shipping labels could be useful and have submitted a suggestion about it as of today.
