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:

1. Open Order Entry > O/E Setup > Ship-Via Codes.
2. 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 New button, and then enter the new code.

     Tip: If you are viewing an existing record, you can "copy" it to a new record by typing a new code over the displayed code, making any required changes to the other fields on the screen, and then adding the record.

   Example: For a carrier called Cross-Country Trucking Lines, you might create a "CCT" ship-via code.

3. On the Ship-Via tab, enter information about the shipping method or carrier. You can also enter an optional comment if you wish.
4. On the Contact tab, enter information about the contact person, position, or department that is your primary contact for the shipping method or carrier.
5. Click Add to add the ship-via code.
