Assigning Ship Vias to Branches

By assigning a ship via to a branch you can do the following:

Determine if a ship via requires a routing ticket for deliveries.
Search for a ship via.
Assign all ship vias to a branch at once.
Set up auto scheduling overrides.
Change the branch tax jurisdiction method.
Set up a pick ticket printer location.

To assign a ship via to a branch:

From the Files > Branch menu, select Branch to display the Branch Maintenance screen.
In the Branch ID/New field, enter a branch ID to display the branch record.
Use the ShipVia hot key to display the Ship Via Branch Overrides/Auto Scheduling screen.
The Br# field displays the branch ID of the current branch.
In the Ship Via field, do one of the following:

Enter the ship vias to assign to this branch.
Use the Assign All hot key to assign all shipment methods to the branch.

Note: Use the Find hot key to search for the ship via if the list exceeds the length of the screen.

In the Tax Juris Meth field, enter the tax jurisdiction method for the system to use when determining the tax jurisdiction associated with this ship via.
In the PickTicketPtrLoc field, press F10 and select the printer location for each branch where the Automatic Shipping Ticket Printing program or the Batch Transfer program prints pick tickets. This setting overrides the setting in the Default Printer Location For Branch control maintenance record.
In the AutoSched field, press F10 and select one of the following to set the automatic scheduling of tickets that are manually added to the manifest.:

On – Enables the auto scheduler so when you add a ticket to the manifest, the system calculates the delivery time and stop number for the ticket.
Off – Disables auto scheduler, so all delivery scheduling must be done manually. When you add a ticket to the manifest, the system adds the ticket where the cursor is positioned on the manifest and creates a new stop if the ship-to address does not match that of the prior order on the manifest.

The On and Off settings override the Auto Schedule hot key setting on the Shipping Manifest Queue screen (Whs Mgt / Queues).

Default – The auto scheduler uses the setting on the Shipping Manifest Queue screen (Whs Mgt > Queues).

In the Rt Ticket field, if the ship ticket requires a routing ticket for deliveries, enter Y; otherwise enter N.

In the Pick Pri field, enter a number from 0 to 99 to assign a priority to each ship via. Zero is the highest priority, and 99 is the lowest priority. If you leave any field blank for a ship via, this ship via is considered the highest priority.

If two or more ship vias have the same pick priority, blank or otherwise, the system determines the ship via priority by the setting on the RF Pick Selection Sort control maintenance record.

The Ship Via Pick Priority Maintenance screen in Warehouse Maintenance and this field work together. If you enter a value for a ship via on one screen, it overrides the value for the same ship via on the other screen.

If this branch's ship via can have a freight override, the Frt Ovrd field displays a Y.

Enter the override status of the ship via for this customer at this branch if you set the Override Customer Freight Out Exempt field on the Freight Data screen (Files > Ship Via) to B, and you activate the Fght Over field on the Ship Via Branch Overrides/Auto Scheduling screen.

Use the Status hot key to display the Order Inprocess Statuses Selection screen and assign statuses to the ship vias. Ship via statuses defined here override the ship via set up in Ship Via Maintenance. List the statuses in order of progression, for example, PRINTED, PICKING, STAGING, and MANIFEST. Each branch can have its own ship via priority.

For example, branches 1 through 6 use statuses PRINTED, PICKING, STAGING, and MANIFEST, but branch 5 requires a PACKING step between STAGING and MANIFEST. For branch 5, enter PACKING in the appropriate order on the Order Inprocess Statuses Selection screen.

Use the Addl hot key to display the Branch Shipvia Additional Data screen, where you assign the RF criteria to specific ship vias.
