Setting Up Carriers
Use Carrier Maintenance (2.17.1) to create a carrier address record and associate it with the headoffice of business relation. The business relations provides the carrier address details.
The carrier name and address, telephone and FAX numbers, contact names, and the carrier tax ID are printed on shipping documents. Carriers are identified by an operational address list type of carrier.
A carrier handles the transportation of goods from a shipping site. Typically shipments require a single carrier. However, sometimes a series of carriers is needed. For example, a shipment can be transported by truck to be loaded onto a train, transported by train to be loaded onto a ship, then transported by ship to its final destination.
You can associate one carrier or series of carriers for a kind of inventory movement in a shipping group. A carrier cannot be deleted if it is currently in use by any shipment, shipping group, or tax history record.
