Modifying Lists of Values for Shipping

You can modify the following lists of values that are used to select shipping information:

• Carriers. This field specifies what carrier is used to deliver items in an order. Without configuration, the available carriers include Airborne, DHL, Emery, Federal Express, UPS, US Mail. Make sure the list of values contains the carriers you want to use. In the Administration - Data screen, List of Values view, carriers are listed in records where the Type field has the value FS_CARRIER.

• Shipping methods. The Shipping Method field is used primarily to identify how quickly the shipment will occur, and how long delivery will take. The shipping method impacts the shipment charges. Without configuration, the available methods are Next Day, 2 Day Service, and Ground. You can add other methods by adding them in the list of values. For example, you might want Air, Train, or Ship as a method. In the Administration - Data screen, List of Values view, shipping methods are listed in records where the Type field has the value CARRIER_PRIORITY.

• Shipping terms. The Shipping Terms field is used to specify the relationship between payment and shipping. Without configuration, the available shipping terms are Due, FOB, TBD, No charge. You can add other terms by adding them in the list of values list. In the Administration - Data screen, List of Values view, shipping terms are listed in records where the Type field has the value FREIGHT_TERMS.

• Shipment freight calculation. The result of the shipment freight calculation shows in an order in the Shipping Charges field, in Line Items Totals form. Shipping is calculated at the line level, and is then rolled up for all line items and displayed in the Totals form.
