Define the customer's method for transporting products, known as a ship via, on the customer's record, and then add the customer's name to that ship via's delivery list. The system lists the deliveries in a logical sequence, saving you time and money.
To enable this feature, assign route delivery information in Ship Via Maintenance. If ship via delivery information is not set up, the system uses the setting in the Customers Normal Delivery Time of Day field on the Miscellaneous Customer Information screen.
From the Files menu, select Customer to display the Customer Maintenance screen.
In the Customer/New field enter a customer ID to display the customer record.
Use the Delivery hot key to display a list of possible ship vias for this customer. The system highlights the customer's assigned ship via value.
Press Enter to display a list of customers who are scheduled for delivery for the selected ship via on the ShipVia screen.
Do one of the following, as needed:
To change the order in which deliveries are made to the customers on the list, select the customer to move by placing the cursor on the customer, then use the Move hot key. The customer's name disappears from the list. Then, place the cursor on the customer who will take delivery after the selected customer and press Enter to insert the name.
To remove all customers from the list, use the Clear All hot key. The system prompts for confirmation before clearing the screen.
Press Esc to save the list and return to the ship via selection list.
