Shipping Method Setup for Transfer Orders
The Enforce Shipping Method parameter (set up on the Mange Shipping Parameters page) determines whether the default shipping method is required for a transfer order. You define the default shipping method when defining the transit time.
The Default Shipping Method field shows as either checked or unchecked for a transit time on the Manage Transit Times page.
This table shows how transfer orders process based on the setting of these two parameters:
