Enter in the Ship Via Code and press <ENTER>. You may have up to 13-characters. Examples:  DEL, Fed Ex, UPS, and PUO.

1. Enter the Description for the Ship Via Code and press <ENTER>. Examples:  Delivery, Federal Express, UPS, and Pick Up Only.

The following fields will help to facilitate the Forced Minimum Freight Charge in “POS Order Entry” in POINT OF SALE (1.1).

2. Force Freight is a flag which when set to <Y> will force the user to enter in Freight when finalizing an order.

3. Minimum Price to Force Freight is a dollar value that is used to determine if an order must have freight charges added. If the total extended price of the items that are not excluded from the minimum freight charges are less than this price, Freight will be Forced. Leave this field blank to have no minimum order value.

4. Force Freight on Haz Mat is a flag which when set to <Y> will force the user to Force Freight charges when there are Hazardous Material items on the order even if the Minimum Price has been reached. Hazardous items are identified in “Hazardous Material Codes Entry” in INVENTORY (5.1.13.1 field 2-Hazardous set to <Y>).

5. Freight Charge per unit weight is a dollar amount to multiply by the weight of products on the order to give a minimum freight amount. If the freight amount entered on the order is lower than the minimum, a warning message will be given.

6. Freight Surcharge per unit weight is a dollar amount to multiply by the weight of products on the order to calculate a Freight Surcharge automatically.

All of these fields will be used in the "POS Order Entry" (1.1) program when finalizing the invoice to determine if freight must be charged or if freight may be overridden by the user. If freight must be charged, the program will automatically call the "<A>dd Freight and Discount" subroutine so that the proper freight charges can be applied. You will have the option to override the charges or the charges may be waived entirely.

7. Override Cust Preferred Ship Date will allow you to Override the calculated Customer Preferred Ship Date with the Current Date when this Ship Via Code is used during "POS Order Entry" in POINT OF SALE (1.1). This is useful when certain types of shipments must be assigned a ship date of the current day, regardless of the customer settings or preferences.

"Customer Ship Via Entry" will check all customers prior to deleting a Ship Via Code. Deleting will not be allowed if the code is found to be assigned to a customer.

8. Prompt for Shipper & Tracking # -

       Enter <Y> to prompt for Shipper Code and Tracking Number when DI, TI or CO orders are finalized.

       Enter <F> to Allow Free Form Entry for Shipper Code.

       Enter <T> to Prompt for Tracking Number Only.

If setup with <Y>, the Shipper code used in Order Entry must be a valid Shipper setup in Shipper Entry (6.1.9.5). Setting this field to <F> will allow the useres to enter a free form shipper of their choice.

The Shipper Entry program allows users to create, modify or delete Shippers. The user can designate if the tracking number is mandatory for a particular Shipper. A Shipper listing is also provided.

These field will be printed along with any existing comment at the bottom of the invoice.
