Chapter 36: Editing Warehouse Drop Points (EWDP)
Purpose: Editing warehouse drop points is used to update warehouse, ship via, SCF, and drop point information all at once, rather than entering this information for each warehouse, drop point, etc.
This function is used only in zone skipping. If you do not use zone skipping in your organization, you should not be concerned with editing warehouse drop points. See Work with Ship Via Indicia Screen.
Drop points represent locations to which merchandise will be shipped from your warehouse. Typically, a drop point represents the address of a UPS facility. Drop points are used in zone skipping. You use zone skipping when you instruct one carrier to deliver packages to a pre-assigned drop point and another carrier to pick them up and deliver them to their final destinations. Shipping charges are determined by the number of zones crossed; therefore, using zone skipping reduces delivery charges because less zones within the country are crossed. See Work with Ship Via Indicia Screen.
