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'sAllow 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.
