Accounts Receivable - Ship Via Codes
Function
The Ship Via Codes maintenance feature enables the linking of Ship Via with Standard Carrier Alpha Code (SCAC) and Carrier's Service Codes. In versions prior to v18, Ship Via code was a free text field, so when moving to v18+ those values are used to create Ship Via Codes records. Otherwise, if starting from scratch or adding a new Ship Via, the code itself is user-defined.
To access this task...
Select Ship Via Codes from the Inquiry and Maintenance menu.
