   To define shipping methods:

1. Navigate to the Ship Method QuickCodes window from the menu. The User access level is selected indicating you can add or modify QuickCodes without restriction.

2. Enter a unique alphanumeric code describing the shipping method. You can define a maximum of 250 QuickCodes for a single QuickCode type. Inventory uses this value in the list of values for the Shipping Method field in the Inter-org Shipping Methods window. See: Defining Inter-organization Shipping Networks.

You cannot change the values in this field after saving them. To remove an obsolete QuickCode you can either disable the code, enter an end date, or change the meaning and description to match a replacement code.

3. Enter the meaning of the shipping method code.

4. Optionally, enter from and to effective dates.

If you enter an Effective From date you cannot use the shipping method before this date. If you leave this field blank, the shipping method is valid immediately.

If you enter an Effective To date you cannot use the shipping method after this date. Once a shipping method expires, you cannot define shipping networks using the shipping method, but can query networks that already use the shipping method. If you do not enter an end date, the shipping method is valid indefinitely.

5. Indicate whether the shipping method is enabled. A shipping method must be enabled before you can define shipping networks using it. If you disable a shipping method you cannot use it in shipping networks, but you can query networks that already use the shipping method.

6. Save your work.
