Printing the carrier’s name and address on shipping documents is a requirement in some locations. The system provides an address type specifically for carriers, allowing the information to be easily included on shipping documents.

See QAD Master Data User Guide for instructions on how to define carrier addresses.

Use Carrier Maintenance (2.17.1) to define carrier names and specify a business relation. The business relation contains the addresses, telephone and fax numbers, contact names, and the carrier’s tax ID to be included on printed shipping documents.

Because shipments often require the use of more than one carrier, you can assign a series of carriers to each address in a shipping group. Carriers are listed sequentially based on their role in the transportation of inventory.

A carrier cannot be deleted if it is referenced by any shipment, shipping group, or tax history record.
