KIBO OMS DOCUMENTATION
Update Tracking Information
The tracking information of a shipment can be added and updated with one API that accepts the same structure for each task. This information can not only include the tracking number for the package, but also properties such as the carrier details, transit time, a URL to the tracking page, and more.
See the chart in the OMS Standards guide for details about formatting tracking numbers.
