Entering Ship-Via Codes
Ship-via codes identify the shipping methods or carriers you use to deliver goods to customers (for example, courier, air mail, parcel post).
Use the Ship-Via Codes form to add ship-via records for your system. For each shipping method, enter the name and address of the carrier and any pertinent comments.
You can select one of the ship-via codes when you enter an order. Order Entry then displays the ship-via description with the order information. If you do not select a ship-via code, you can still type the shipping method in the ship-via description field on the Customer tab of the Order Entry, Shipment Entry, and Invoice Entry forms.
Also, if you choose a ship-to location for a customer when entering an order (defined for the customer in Accounts Receivable), the program displays the ship-via information entered for that location in the description field.
If you use a default ship-via code in a customer record, or if you designate a primary ship-to location for a customer in Accounts Receivable, Order Entry displays the ship-via code from the customer record or the ship-to location by default when you enter an order for that customer.
Ship-via records are printed on the Ship-Via Codes report. You can edit ship-via records as needed.
