To assign route delivery information to a ship via:Use the Ship Via Route Delivery Information screen to define route delivery information for a ship via. The information defined on this screen is used by the Shipping Manifest Queue program to schedule delivery stops for orders on a shipping manifest.
If the Auto Sched hot key on the Shipping Manifest Queue screen is set to On, the route delivery information entered here is listed on shipping manifests to schedule delivery stops.
If the Auto Sched hot key on the Shipping Manifest Queue screen is set to Off, all delivery stop scheduling on a manifest is done manually.
If a ship via has assigned delivery information in any of the three "time" fields, the Delivery Info hot key is highlighted.
If you do not set up ship via delivery information, the system uses the setting in the Normal Delivery Time of Day field on the Miscellaneous Customer Information screen. For more information, see Adding Miscellaneous Customer Information.
