Working with Zip/Ship Via (WZSV)
Purpose: Use the Zip/Ship Via table to cross-reference default shippers for specific destinations, based on postal code. You can also use this option to indicate that a best way shipping surcharge applies to the ship via.
Ship via override: When you accept an order in order entry, the system checks the Zip/Ship Via table for a default shipper if the shipper specified on the order allows auto-assignment of carrier (the ship via's Allow auto assignment = Selected). If auto-assignment is allowed and there is a default ship via defined for the postal code, the system substitutes the original ship via with the default ship via automatically.
Note: The shipper substitution occurs only if:
- you are using the Order/Recap screen, as defined by the Display Order Recap (A75) system control value, and
- the Allow auto assignment field for the ship via currently on the order is selected.
- another ship via override does not take precedence; see Ship Via Override Hierarchy for a list of ways the system can override the shipper specified on the order with another shipper and the hierarchy in which the ship via overrides take precedence.

Valid values are: • Allow = The shipper is allowed to ship to this postal code. • Exclude = The shipper cannot ship to this postal code. • Default = This ship via will be substituted automatically when you accept a new order if the ship via on the order is set up to allow automatic assignment of carrier and another ship via override does not take precedence. • Surcharge = A surcharge applies to deliveries in this postal code by this shipper for the purposes of calculating best way shipping at pick slip generation. You define the amount of the surcharge in the Ship Via table. This setting is not currently implemented. Optional. |

Description |
Zip code |
A code for a geographical delivery area, as defined by the United States Postal Service or other federal office. Zip, or postal, codes are defined in and validated against the Zip/City/State table. See Setting Up the Zip/City/State (Postal Code) Table (WZIP). Alphanumeric, 5 positions. Create screen: required. Change screen: display-only. |

|
Status |
A code that controls if (and how) this shipper can be used to deliver packages to the postal code. Valid values are: • Allow = The shipper is allowed to ship to this postal code. • Exclude = The shipper cannot ship to this postal code. The system issues a message similar to the following during Order Entry if you use a shipper that is excluded from shipping to the destination postal code: Ship via (3) is not valid with ship to zip code (017). • Default = This ship via will be substituted automatically when you accept the new order; this substitution occurs only if: - you are using the Order/Recap screen, as defined by the Display Order Recap (A75) system control value, and - the Allow auto assignment field for the ship via currently on the order is selected, and - another ship via override does not take precedence; see Ship Via Override Hierarchy |
|
• Surcharge = A surcharge applies to deliveries in this postal code by this shipper for the purposes of calculating best way shipping at pick slip generation, in which the system selects the least expensive ship via for a pick slip. You define the amount of the surcharge through Working with Shipping Rates (WSHR). This surcharge is not considered as part of best way shipping evaluation in order entry; see Working with Best Way Ship Vias. This setting is not currently implemented. Required. |
