Shipment Tracking Numbers

The tracking number formats that OMS supports are based on each carrier’s unique rules. If OMS cannot validate a tracking number based on its known rules, it will attempt to validate the number on the carrier’s system. The chart below describes the typical tracking numbers in OMS, but be aware that there may be some variations from the carriers.
