Use the Delivery Information area on the Ship Via Maintenance window to define route delivery information for a ship via. The information defined in this area is used by the Shipping Manifest Queue program to schedule delivery stops for orders on a shipping manifest.
If you select Auto Schedule from the Warehouse Management > Shipping Manifest Queue > Edit menu, the route delivery information entered here is listed on shipping manifests to schedule delivery stops.
If you deselect Auto Schedule from the Warehouse Management > Shipping Manifest Queue > Edit menu, all delivery stop scheduling on a manifest is done manually.
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 window. For more information, see Entering Additional Customer Information.
For information about delivery route types, see Delivery Route Types Overview.
