Creating Ship-Via Codes
You create ship-via codes to identify the shipping methods or carriers you use to deliver goods to customers (such as courier, air mail, or parcel post).
Note: Ship-via codes are optional. If you do not add them to Order Entry and specify them on orders, Order Entry transaction entry screens will display the ship-via description entered with Accounts Receivable ship-to locations (if you specify a ship-to location for the order).
To create a ship-via code:
- Open Order Entry > O/E Setup > Ship-Via Codes.
- In the Ship-Via Code field, enter a code for the new record. More...
- If the field is clear, enter the new code.
- If you are viewing an existing record, click the Create New button, and then enter the new code.
Example: For a carrier called Cross-Country Trucking Lines, you might create a "CCT" ship-via code.
- On the Ship-Via tab, enter information about the shipping method or carrier. You can also enter an optional comment if you wish.
- On the Contact tab, enter information about the contact person, position, or department that is your primary contact for the shipping method or carrier.
- Click Save to add the ship-via code.
