Defining Shipping Methods

You can define shipping methods for any form of transport or for any specific carrier that you use to ship your orders. Examples of shipping methods include Truck, Air, and Rail Freight as well as conventional carriers such as UPS, FEDEX, and USPS.

To define shipping methods, you first must create the SHIP_METHOD general lookup/validation table (from Customers, select Set up tables > General lookup/validation). After creating the SHIP_METHOD table, you can create shipping zone and freight tables.

See Understanding the Process for Assigning Default Shipping Methods during Order Entry for additional information.
