Shipping Orders Via Different Carriers

To determine how an order generation gets from your location to your customer, specify a choice in the Ship Via field. Typical choices include Our Truck, Pick Up, Fedex, or UPS.

Your ship-via choice determines not only the shipping method, but also the freight, cash requirements, invoice processing status, order print status, and tax jurisdiction.

To specify a ship via:

A ship via can be specified in numerous places throughout the system. A ship via entry is required on an order's Status screen, which is used in this example.

Create or open a sales order and display the order's Body screen.
Enter the desired products, and then press Esc. If prompted to enter a purchase order number on the Header screen, do so and then press Esc.
On the Status screen, navigate to the Ship Via field.
For each order generation, enter the desired ship via or press F10 and select one from a list.
Press Esc to close the Status screen and process the order. If the Totals screen displays, enter the required payment and press Esc.

Note: An order's default ship via choice is based on a hierarchy of settings for the customer, the terminal used for the order, the print status, and the Zip code.
