Require Ship Via on Purchase Order Header (E96)

Purpose: Use this screen to define whether the Ship via field is required on the purchase order header.

Yes/no field: Select this field if you want the Ship via field on the purchase order header screen to be a required-entry field.

Ship Via Hierarchy

Each detail line on the purchase order requires a ship via code.

• If you have defined a PO ship via for the vendor/item, the system defaults this ship via to the detail line.

• If you enter a ship via code on the PO header, the system defaults this ship via to the detail lines that do not have a PO ship via defined for the vendor/item.

• If a PO ship via is not defined for the vendor/item and you do not enter a ship via code on the PO header, you will need to enter a ship via code for each detail line on the purchase order.

Note: If you enter PO lines and then change the ship via on the PO Header, the system defaults the new ship via to all of the lines on the PO, regardless of how the ship via originally defaulted to the line.

Leave this field unselected if you do not want the Ship via field on the purchase order header to be required. If you do not enter a ship via on the purchase order header, you will be required to enter a ship via for each detail line (unless the vendor item ship via defaults). The ship via from the first detail line you enter will default back onto the order header.
