Shipping Function

Select the shipping function for the shipper ID. There are two primary shipping functions.

Select Enter Shipping Quantities to allow the shipper to either ship or backorder quantities for each line from the order. If Enter Shipping Quantities is selected, the shipper can access the Shipping Data Entry Lines tab.

Select Enter Freight/Tracking to allow the shipper to view/change shipping header information, such as ship-to address, number of shipping labels, freight amounts, tracking numbers, etc. If Enter Shipping Freight Quantity is selected, the shipper can access the Shipping Data Entry Shipping tab.

Select Both to allow the shipper to perform both shipping functions. If Both is selected, the shipper can access both tabs in the Shipping Data Entry window. When moving from the Lines tab to the Shipping tab in the Shipping Data Entry window, all lines will be resolved, based on the setting specified in the Prompt for Backorder on Partial Shipment field in the Shipping Setup Options window.

Note For a line to be resolved, all items ordered on that line must either be shipped or backordered.
