Overview

Use the Ship-Via Codes screen to set up a record for each carrier you use to deliver your orders from vendors.

Ship-via records are optional. Add them for the carriers you regularly use, so that you have a record of each carrier's address, phone numbers, and contact people. You can then specify ship-via codes on purchase orders, requisitions, receipts, and returns. If you do not use ship-via records, you can still type the name of a carrier on transactions (but not the address or any other information), or not specify a shipping method at all.
