To reprint End of Day reports in UPS WorldShip, open the Shipment History window, select the shipment group (the closed pickup) the report belongs to, go to the Printing Activities tab, choose Reports, and pick the report you want to reprint. If you have more than one report printer set up, WorldShip asks which printer to use.
Reprinting doesn’t rerun End of Day or resend anything to UPS. It produces another copy of a report from a pickup you have already closed, which is useful when the first copy jammed, printed to the wrong printer or went missing before the driver arrived.

What Is the UPS WorldShip End of Day Report?
End of Day is the WorldShip step that closes the day’s shipments. It uploads the shipment data to UPS and prints the reports for that pickup. Once End of Day runs, those shipments move from open to closed in Shipment History and are grouped by pickup.
The reports give you and the UPS driver a record of what was tendered: package counts, tracking numbers, service levels and, where it applies, declared values and freight documents. The tracking numbers on the report match the scans the package receives once UPS picks it up, so our guide to how UPS scans packages helps you reconcile the report against tracking.
If you don’t have a daily pickup, the reports go with the packages when you drop them off. Our guide to UPS tracking and delivery covers what happens after the first scan.
How Do You Reprint End of Day Reports in UPS WorldShip?
Follow these steps. Menu labels can differ slightly between WorldShip versions, but the path runs through Shipment History in all current releases.
- Open Shipment History. In recent versions, click History on the WorldShip Home tab. The Shipment History window lists shipments by pickup date and shows open and closed groups.
- Select the shipment group. Find the pickup date the report belongs to and select that closed shipment group. End of Day reports are tied to the group, not to a single package.
- Go to the Printing Activities tab. This tab holds the reprint options for the selected group.
- Choose Reports. Select Reports, then pick the specific report to reprint from the list.
- Pick a printer if asked. If you set up two or more report printers, the Select Report Printer window appears. Choose the printer and confirm.
Repeat the last two steps for each report you need. If the pickup date you are looking for isn’t listed under closed shipments, check whether End of Day actually completed for that day. If it didn’t, the shipments are still open and there is no End of Day report to reprint yet.
| What you want to reprint | Where to find it in WorldShip | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| End of Day reports for a closed pickup | Shipment History, then the shipment group, then Printing Activities, then Reports | Doesn’t resend data to UPS |
| A shipping label | Shipment History, then the shipment, then Printing Activities | Use when a label is damaged or misprinted |
| Reports for a day that hasn’t closed | Not available until End of Day runs | Run End of Day first |
If a label rather than a report is the problem, our guide to the UPS shipping label explains what each part of the label does. For printing a label at a UPS location, see how much it costs to print a label at UPS.
Which End of Day Reports Can You Reprint?
UPS’s WorldShip help lists the End of Day reports that can be reprinted from Shipment History. They include the Daily Shipment Detail Report, the manifest sections, and the bill of lading for freight shipments. Which reports appear for a given pickup depends on what you shipped that day.
- Daily Shipment Detail Report: a line-by-line record of each package in the pickup, useful for reconciling against invoices.
- Manifest sections: the summary pages that list what was tendered to UPS in that pickup.
- Bill of lading: printed when the pickup includes UPS freight shipments.
Keep reports and labels on the right paper. Reports normally print on a standard office printer, and labels print on a thermal label printer or label stock, as covered in our guide to UPS labels and supplies.
When Do You Need to Reprint an End of Day Report?
You need to reprint an End of Day report whenever the original copy can’t do its job. Common reasons include:
- A failed print: a paper jam, low toner or an offline printer during End of Day.
- The wrong printer: the report went to a label printer or a printer in another room.
- A missing copy: the driver’s copy or your file copy was lost before pickup.
- Reconciliation: accounting needs the Daily Shipment Detail Report to match a UPS invoice.
- Customer questions: a recipient disputes delivery and you need the tracking number and ship date from that pickup.
Reconciling a report often comes down to delivery dates. Our guide to how long UPS takes to deliver helps you check whether a package is late. On holidays UPS may not pick up at all, so check the UPS holiday schedule before you assume a report or pickup is missing.
What If the End of Day Report Won’t Reprint?
Most reprint problems come from the printer setup, not the report. Work through these checks in order:
- Confirm the printer works outside WorldShip. Print a test page from your operating system. If that fails, fix the connection, drivers or paper first.
- Check WorldShip’s report printer. Make sure the report printer in WorldShip’s printer setup is the office printer, not the label printer. If several report printers are set up, pick the right one in the Select Report Printer window.
- Clear the print queue. Cancel stuck jobs in the Windows print queue, then try the reprint again.
- Confirm the shipment group. Make sure you selected the closed group for the correct pickup date. Open shipments have no End of Day reports.
- Restart WorldShip. Close WorldShip, restart the PC if a driver or Windows update was just installed, and reopen Shipment History.
On networked (LAN) installations, the report printer is set per workstation, so a reprint from a different PC may go to a different printer. Our walkthrough on changing UPS WorldShip from standalone to LAN covers how workstations share data. If the problem persists, contact WorldShip technical support with your WorldShip version and the exact error message.
For documents you send to a UPS Store for printing, follow our steps on how to add files to UPS to print.
Can You Save End of Day Reports as PDFs?
Yes. In Windows you can set the report printer to a PDF printer such as Microsoft Print to PDF and save a digital copy instead of printing. This is useful for keeping a permanent archive outside WorldShip, since Shipment History can be archived or purged according to your settings.
A simple naming scheme makes old reports easy to find, for example a folder per month with files named by pickup date. Keep paper copies of anything the driver must sign, and file PDFs for reconciliation and audits.
The End of Day reports are also where you’ll see your daily shipping spend, so they’re a good starting point for reviewing costs. Before you sign up for a carrier account, compare what a UPS business account costs with other shipping services and solutions. If you ship from home or a small office without WorldShip, our overview of delivery services from same-day to freight compares the options. For occasional shipments, ParcelPath gives up to 85% off UPS and up to 89% off USPS with no subscription or per-label fee, and you can compare both in the ParcelPath rate calculator.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you reprint End of Day reports in UPS WorldShip?
Open the Shipment History window, select the closed shipment group for the pickup date you need, then go to the Printing Activities tab and choose Reports. Pick the report to reprint. If you have more than one report printer, choose one in the Select Report Printer window. Reprinting doesn’t resend shipment data to UPS.
Does reprinting an End of Day report resend shipments to UPS?
No. Reprinting an End of Day report only prints another copy from Shipment History. The shipment data was uploaded to UPS when End of Day first ran, and the shipments stay closed. To change a shipment after End of Day, you need to void or correct it through UPS, not by reprinting the report.
Why can’t I find my End of Day report to reprint?
Usually End of Day didn’t complete for that pickup, so the shipments are still open and no report exists. Check Shipment History for the date. If the shipments are listed as open, run End of Day first. If they are closed, make sure you selected the shipment group, not a single package, before choosing Reports.
Can you reprint a UPS End of Day report as a PDF?
Yes. Set WorldShip’s report printer to a PDF printer such as Microsoft Print to PDF, then reprint the End of Day report from Shipment History through Printing Activities and Reports. WorldShip sends the report to the PDF driver, which saves a file you can archive or email.
