Overview

Use the O/E Ship-Via Codes screen to create and manage ship-via codes, which identify the shipping methods or carriers you use to deliver goods to customers (such as courier, air mail, and parcel post).

Specifying Ship-Via Codes in Order Entry Transactions

When creating an order, if you select a ship-via code you have set up, Order Entry displays the description for that ship-via code with the document information.

On the O/E Order Entry, Shipment Entry, and Invoice Entry screens, if you do not select a ship-via code, you can enter the shipping method in the Ship-Via description field on the Customer tab.

Ship-via records are printed on the O/E Ship-Via Codes report. You can edit ship-via records as needed.

  • If you specify a default ship-via code for a customer (on the Invoicing tab of the A/R Customers screen), Order Entry displays that ship-via code by default when you enter a new document for that customer.
  • If you specify a primary ship-to location for a customer (on the A/R Ship-To Locations screen), Order Entry displays that ship-to location by default when you enter a new document for that customer.
