UPS & FedEx: Address validation: on OE, Ship to maintenance, and any address maintenance.  This will show users if the address in P21 is accurate according to UPS/FedEx and the address type.  We can easily add the ability to write back the correct address to P21 if it needs corrected.  This tool prevents users from being penalized for incorrect addresses.

UPS & FedEx Inbound and Outbound freight weight rate calculation: Sends the weights and required information to the UPS/FedEx API for an estimate of shipping according to the ship from ship to and items, qty, and weights on the order.  This also breaks down the shipment by location if more than one location is used in the order.
