Associate Transport Modes with Ship Via Codes
Intrastat uses a code defined in Mode of Transport Maintenance (29.22.1.13) to denote the method of transport. The standard ship via entered on orders also identifies the method of transport for order shipments, such as the carrier, and the mode of transport, such as air, sea, or ground.
Use Intrastat Transport Maintenance (29.22.1.10) to link ship via codes to Intrastat transport modes so that the transport mode defaults correctly during order entry based on the ship via. This association can reduce data input errors in order programs.
For each ship via, you can specify whether the entry of a port is mandatory on Intrastat transactions referencing that code.

Mode of Transport
Enter a one-character code that identifies the Intrastat mode of transport associated with this ship via code. This field is validated against codes set up in Mode of Transport Maintenance. The system uses this transport mode as the default for orders with the associated ship via.
Description
Enter a brief description (up to 24 characters) for this relationship. This description displays on various reports.
Port Mandatory
