Set Up Container Charges
Setting up the container charge functions involves the following tasks:
• (Optionally) Design and code custom Progress container charge and validation programs.
• Create container charge type codes.
• Create container items and associate them with optional container groups.
• Set up container prices.
• Activate container charges in the control program and define system-wide control settings.
• (Optionally) Create ship-to control records to override control program container charge settings.
Container Charges Setup Work Flow shows a typical container charge setup work flow. Some environments do not require every setup step. For example, in some environments the control program settings apply throughout the system to all ship-to addresses and containers. In other environments, control program settings need to be changed for specific combinations of ship-to address and container. In these environments, additional setup steps are required to create ship-to control records to override the control program container charge settings.
